The Unbound Prometheus: Technical Change and Industrial Development in Western Europe from 1750 to the Presentby David S. LandesISBN 052153402X (0-521-53402-X)

› Find signed collectible books: 'The Unbound Prometheus: Technical Change and Industrial Development in Western Europe from 1750 to the Present'Book summary:Professor Landes's study, Technological Change and Industrial Development in Western Europe, 1750-1914, first appeare as a chapter in volume VI of the Cambridge Economic History of Europe. He has now extended it by adding a full-scale analysis of modern industrial Europe from the First World War to the 1960s. In his new Introduction, Professor Landes discusses the characteristics, progress, and political, economic and social implications of the Industrial Revolution in Britain, France and Germany. He raises the general question: why was Europe the first to industrialize? His section on the inter-war years covers the effect of the First World War in accelerating the dissolution of the old international economy, the reasons for monetary instability and the consequences of monetary difficulties for the economic history of Europe. In particular he discusses the causes of the economic crisis of 1929-1932, the reasons for its severity and quasi-universality and for Britain's early and sustained recovery. An important theme is the impediments posed by generalized international egoism to the efficiency and growth of the European economies. In his final chapter on the economic recovery of Western Europe after the Second World War, Professor Landes examines the forces which have operated since the early 1950s to give Western Europe a period of unprecedented economic growth. He raises the vital question: is this recent boom a temporary phenomenon or the first stage in a new trend of more rapid growth, reflecting an acceleration in technological advance? [via]

› Find signed collectible books: 'The Wealth and Poverty of Nations : Why Some Are So Rich and Some So Poor'Book summary:In dieser Meilensteinstudie über die Weltwirtschaft rückt Professor David S. Landes der Analyse der Verteilung des Wohlstands historisch zu Leibe. Landes vertritt den Standpunkt, daß der Schlüssel zur heutigen Ungleichheit zwischen den reichen und den armen Nationen der Welt ihren Ursprung direkt in der Industriellen Revolution hat, in der einige Länder den Sprung zur Industrialisierung schafften und sagenhaft reich wurden, während andere nicht in der Lage waren, sich anzupassen, und arm blieben. Warum die einen Länder diesen Sprung schafften und andere nicht war jahrzehntelang der Gegenstand so mancher hitziger Debatte. Das Klima, Rohstoffe und die geographischen Bedingungen wurden alle als Erkärung vorgebracht -- und alle werden von Landes verworfen zugunsten seiner eigenen kontoversen Theorie: daß die Fähigkeit, eine industrielle Revolution herbeizuführen, von bestimmten kulturellen Eigenschaften abhängt, ohne die die Erhaltung einer Industrialisierung unmöglich ist. Landes stellt die Eigenschaften erfolgreich industrialisierter Nationen -- Arbeitsleistung, Sparsamkeit, Ehrlichkeit, Geduld und Beharrlichkeit -- denen von nichtindustrialisierten Ländern gegenüber und behauptet, daß solange diese Werte nicht von allen Ländern verinnerlicht werden, die Kluft zwischen Reich und Arm weiter wachsen wird.
