Synopsis
Paul Bairoch sets the record straight on twenty commonly held myths about economic history. Among these are that free trade and population growth have historically led to periods of economic growth; that a move away from free trade caused the Great Depression; and that colonial powers in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries became rich through the exploitation of the Third World. Bairoch argues that these beliefs are based on insufficient knowledge and misguided interpretations of the economic history of the United States, Europe, and the Third World. "A challenging and readable introduction to some major controversial themes in modern international economic history."--Peter J. Cain, International History Review "Paul Bairoch sheds fascinating light on many of the accepted truths of modern economic history: an intriguing account, well executed."--Alfred L. Malabre, Jr., Economics Editor, Wall Street Journal, A bracing, no-holds-barred debunking of mistaken views of global economics In Economics and World History , Paul Bairoch clearly and succinctly debunks a number of commonly held beliefs about economic history and the causes and consequences of important events around the world. Taking on twenty commonly held misconceptions, including that free trade and population growth have historically led to periods of economic growth; that a move away from free trade caused the Great Depression; and that colonial powers in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries became rich through the exploitation of the Third World, Bairoch shows in each case where the mistaken belief originated and why deeper knowledge of economics shows it to b wrong. The resulting book is a treasury for free thinkers, a book that will simultaneously clear up mistakes and help readers avoid making new ones.

    I was so happy to receive this book to add to my collection! But I am even more impressed with the seller! This is my second purchase through this seller. The packages arrive when promised and easy to track. The items are packaged with care and security. But even more impressive is the seller’s complete willingness to answer questions, and answers them within a few hours. I had questions on both purchases and the answer were thorough and honest. Great experiences!!

    The game arrived in flawless condition, exactly as described, and at a great price! The seller was highly professional and carefully followed my request for secure international packaging, keeping collectors in mind. It was shipped in a sturdy box with multiple layers of bubble wrap, ensuring complete protection. The game installed and played perfectly. One of the best deals I’ve found on eBay! Highly recommended, I would gladly purchase from this seller again! A+++

    Arrived in a very timely matter. Described as advertised and condition was very good. Great value. Would have rather had it shipped in a bubble envelope due to bumps and shoves. Thank you.
