The British Industrial Revolution in Global Perspective
TL;DR: In this article, Allen argues that the British industrial revolution was a successful response to the global economy of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, and that in Britain wages were high and capital and energy cheap in comparison to other countries in Europe and Asia.
Journal ArticleDOI
State Capacity and Military Conflict
TL;DR: The authors investigated empirically both the importance of money for military success and patterns of state building in early modern Europe using data from 374 battles and found that when fiscal resources are not crucial for winning wars, the threat of external conflict stifles state building.
Journal ArticleDOI
Roepke Lecture in Economic Geography—Crises, Geographic Disruptions and the Uneven Development of Political Responses

British economic growth, 1270-1870: an output-based approach
TL;DR: The authors reconstructs the GNI from the output side for medieval and early modern Britain and finds that, in contrast to the long run stagnation of living standards suggested by daily real wage rates, output-based GNI per capita exhibits modest but positive trend growth.
Journal ArticleDOI
A stakeholder empire: the political economy of Spanish imperial rule in America
Regina Grafe,Alejandra Irigoin +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the Spanish colonial state developed into a stakeholder model, in which local interests were deeply invested in the survival and expansion of empire and the means of co-optation were intra-colonial transfers, as well as credit relations between the state and colonial individuals and corporations, which guaranteed that much of colonial revenue was immediately fed back into the local economy, while minimizing enforcements costs.
