European Review of Economic History: A Farewell to Alms – ‘big history’ or ‘quick fix’?

Cambridge Journals writes:

Published in 2007, Gregory Clark’s A Farewell to Alms has attracted more attention than any economic history monograph since Fogel and Engerman’s Time of the Cross appeared in 1974. In recognition of its extraordinary impact, the European Review of Economic History has published a special symposium in which four of the world’s most eminent scholars reflect on Gregory Clark’s important and controversial propositions, followed by a response from the author himself.
