When and Where of the Industrial Revolution

A big, big question: Without knowing what you are looking for, could you pinpoint 18th-century Britain as the break from the preindustrial world? How abrupt was the break from the Malthusian world? How revolutionary did the inventions seem? How different did the 1700s look than earlier centuries? How different did England look than China in the 1700s?

The Persistence of Bad (or Good) Institutions

FIGURE 2. Medieval Legacies: Religious Composition and Hindu-Muslim Riots

Note: The pattern of modern religious demography mimics patterns of Muslim rule, medieval trade, and political patronage. Medieval ports and major Muslim patronage centers (such as those that housed mints) continued to have greater Muslim populations relative to nearby areas in 1931. Medieval ports, however, experience fewer religious riots relative to towns nearby.
