Description and Table of Contents

Description

With an evolutionary-institutional perspective, this book examines representative economies over the past two millennia. It provides an analytical framework that explicitly identifies the historical, philosophical, social, political and economic factors and how they interact to establish and modify each economy's principal institutions.
