World the Plague Made - The Black Death and the Rise of Europe

About the author

James Belich

Additional text

"The World the Plague Made: The Black Death and the Rise of Europe sweeps across five centuries with extraordinary breadth and depth to answer one of history’s biggest questions: what caused Europe’s rise to global hegemony and its 'great divergence' from the rest of Eurasia in terms of
economic development by the 19th century? . . . Belich makes a persuasive case for the mutually
beneficial relationship between the big picture generalist and the thematic, regional, or chronological specialist.
