O¿Brien provides an historiographical survey and critique of Western views on the long-run economic development of the Imperial Economy of China ¿ a field of commentary that stretches back to the Enlightenment. The book¿s structure and core argument is concentrated upon an elaboration of, and critical engagement with, the major themes of recent academic debate on the ¿Great Divergence¿ and it will be of enormous interest to academics and students of economic history, political economy, the economics of growth and development, state formation, statistical measurements, environmental history, and the histories of science and globalization.

Covers major themes in the economic histories of Imperial China and Western Europe and takes issue with other contentions that for centuries Western Europe and China can be located and defined as economies characterized by "surprising resemblances"
Addresses ways of knowing, understanding and contrasting histories of "the rise of rise" of the West with the protracted retardation of Imperial China's economy
Provides an extended answer to the meta question posed by Ken Pomeranz in his now classical book: The Great Divergence - which inaugurated the debate, "Why wasn't England like the Yangtze Delta?"
