Economic History of Asia: comparative perspectives

Pierre van der Eng ()

Australian Economic History Review, 2004, vol. 44, issue 3, pages 215-220

Abstract: This article surveys studies that provide a comparative perspective on the economic history of Asia. The available paradigms tend to be extrapolations of the relatively well-researched long-term development of Japan and China. It remains to be seen whether these apply to other Asian countries, but they are likely to further comparative research that will help to focus scholarship on the crucial factors in understanding long-term economic development in Asia.
