Globalization and History: The Evolution of a Nineteenth-Century
Atlantic Economy AbstractGlobalization is not a new phenomenon;
nor is it irreversible. In Globalization and History, Kevin
O'Rourke and Jeffrey Williamson present a coherent picture of
trade, migration, and international capital flows in the
Atlantic economy in the century prior to 1914--the first great
globalization boom. The book's originality lies in its
application of the tools of open-economy economics to this
critical historical period--differentiating it from most
previous work, which has been based on closed-economy or single-
sector models. The authors also keep a close eye on
globalization debates of the 1990s, using history to inform the
present and vice versa. Download InfoTo our knowledge, this item
