Favorites of Fortune by Patrice Higonnet
Theorists have attributed unequal growth rates among nations to political factors or to the unequal distribution of land. In "Favorites of Fortune", a group of international economists and historians pit economic history against the assumptions of the classical economic theory of natural growth. Their explanations consider the factors of technology, entrepreneurialism, and paths to economic growth, but each reflects an ideological wave of explanation that has marked the last 200 years. These studies approach a common concern with assurance and a variety of techniques, all interrelated, all leaving room for ammendment and contradiction.
David S. Landes is professor emeritus of history and economics at Harvard and author of the bestseller The Wealth and Poverty of Nations. His other books include Bankers and Pashas, The Unbound Prometheus, and Revolution in Time.
