The Great Divergence is a seminal work that explores the origins of the Industrial Revolution in the West. Historian Kenneth Pomeranz examines why sustained industrial growth began in northwestern Europe, comparing economic, ecological, and social factors between Europe and East Asia around 1750. Through a rigorous and well-documented analysis, the author identifies two critical factors that drove the divergence: the strategic location of coal and access to trade with the New World. This book offers a compelling perspective on the rise of the West and the transformation of the modern global economy.
