大分流：欧洲、中国及现代世界经济的发展

The book closely examines social economic condition in Europe and South Asia in 18th century, comparing England with Jiangnan Area in China. The book offers many original ideas with new approach to the matter. It argues that the world in 1,800 years ago is a multi-cultural world without an economic center. A western center comes into being only after the ample development of industrialization in 19th century.
