Описание: The Rise Of China Is No Doubt One Of The Most Important Events In World Economic History Since The Industrial Revolution. Mainstream Economics, Especially The Institutional Theory Of Economic Development Based On A Dichotomy Of Extractive Vs. Inclusive Political Institutions, Is Highly Inadequate In Explaining China'S Rise. This Book Argues That Only A Radical Reinterpretation Of The History Of The Industrial Revolution And The Rise Of The West (As Incorrectly Portrayed By The Institutional Theory) Can Fully Explain China'S Growth Miracle And Why The Determined Rise Of China Is Unstoppable Despite Its Current "Backward" Financial System And Political Institutions. Conversely, China'S Spectacular And Rapid Transformation From An Impoverished Agrarian Society To A Formidable Industrial Superpower Sheds Considerable Light On The Fundamental Shortcomings Of The Institutional Theory And Mainstream "Blackboard" Economic Models, And Provides More-Accurate Reevaluations Of Historical Episodes Such As Africa'S Enduring Poverty Trap Despite Radical Political And Economic Reforms, Latin America'S Lost Decades And Frequent Debt Crises, 19Th Century Europe'S Great Escape From The Malthusian Trap, And The Industrial Revolution Itself.

Описание: Historically, the idea that the stars and planets influence the Earth and its inhabitants has proved powerful in almost every culture, offering an important context for the use of mathematical and astronomical instruments. In the past, however, historians of astronomy have paid relatively little attention to astrology and other “non-scientific” topics, while historians of astrology have tended to concentrate on the analysis of texts rather than surviving artefacts, scientific instruments in particular. Heaven and Earth United is an attempt to redress the balance through an exploration of the astrological contexts in which instruments once found a place.
