    'The first volume of The Cambridge Economic History of the Modern World is a set of top-quality chapters and authors. … In a time of renewed grand views of world development, looking for major theories of why the West became richer than the rest of the world, this first volume provides, in a compact format, the best that the economic history of the world that witnessed the Industrial Revolution has to offer.' Albert Carreras, EH.net (Economic History Association)
