- Synopsis
- The continent of Europe seemed in the spring of 2015 to be in a weaker position relative to other world regions than it had in centuries. Though comparatively small, it had long played a disproportionate role in world history, to the extent that the modern world system of states itself in large parts had been created in the wake of European imperialism. This case examines the deep history of Europe's so-called "Great Divergence," the means by which it achieved "modern economic growth" and conquered large parts of the known world, and the consequences of this moment for the past, present, and future of capitalism.
