Series Statement:
The Princeton economic history of the Western world
Content:
In the last two centuries, agriculture has been an outstanding, if somewhat neglected, success story. Agriculture has fed an ever-growing population with an increasing variety of products at falling prices, even as it has released a growing number of workers to the rest of the economy. This book, a comprehensive history of world agriculture during this period, explains how these feats were accomplished. Feeding the World synthesizes two hundred years of agricultural development throughout the world, providing all essential data and extensive references to the literature. It covers, systematica.
Content:
Why is agriculture different? -- Trends in the long run -- Patterns of growth: the inputs -- The causes of growth: the increase in productivity -- Technical progress in agriculture -- The microeconomics of agricultural institutions -- Agricultural institutions and growth -- The state and the market -- Conclusions: agriculture and economic growth in the long run
