The Invisible Hand?
How Market Economies have Emerged and Declined Since AD 500
Bas van Bavel
Explore the history of market economies in The Invisible Hand? This groundbreaking book takes a new approach to economic history by analyzing the rise, stagnation, and decline of these economies at different times in the past. Discover how factor markets create growth and flexibility, but also contribute to social polarization and institutional sclerosis. Learn how successful market economies in Iraq, Italy, and the Low Countries eventually experienced stagnation, and how this process is mirrored in England and the United States.
