The Record of Global Economic Development. By Eric Jones. Northampton, MA: Edward Elgar, 2000. Pp. xviii, 226.
这本书是作者近年讲座的合集，涵盖东亚崛起、保护主义及文化制度变迁等主题，适合对经济史感兴趣的读者，但可能因标题误导而令人失望。
For those taken in by the title of this book (as I was, in agreeing to review it) this volume will be a disappointment. It turns out to be a collection of lectures which, as the author tells us, “reflects the development of my interests in recent years, involving themes such as the rise of East Asia, Protectionism, and cultural, institutional, and structural changes [mldr ] all informed by my original professional perspective as an economic historian” (p. xvi).
