These fourteen essays covering a wide range of subjects of great current interest reflect the continuous evolution of the authors thought from 1951 to 1961. Range and flexibility characterize Alexander Gerschenkrons dynamic approach to Europes industrial history. Connecting evolution in individual countries with their degree of economic backwardness, he presents the industrialization of the continent as a case of unity in diversity, thus offering a cogent alternative, supported by case studies, to the traditional view of industrialization as monotonous repetition of the same process from country to country. Brought together for the first time, these essays were originally published in specialized periodicals in the United States and abroad.Explaining and systematizing the elements of creative innovation in industrial history, Gerschenkron opens new paths of research and poses a number of pertinent questions for the problem of economic development in backward countries. His versatile analysis not only includes construction of ingenious industrial output indices and fruitful historical hypotheses on the indexnumber problem, but also original insights gleaned from a study of Soviet novels and a brilliant critique of Doctor Zhivago.

I picked up this book for a research project and it certainly covers a lot of ground. However, the organization could be better. Some chapters felt a bit scattered, making it hard to follow sometimes, but the information is valuable.

Disappointing Quality for the Price
I was really looking forward to this book, but it arrived with some pages crinkled and the cover was less sturdy than I expected. I guess I was hoping for more of a premium feel for the price I paid. Content seems interesting, but the physical condition is a letdown.

Informative but Dense
While 'Economic Backwardness in Historical Perspective' has some great content, I felt it was hard to get through at times. The writing can be pretty dense, and I had to reread sections to fully grasp the concepts. It's useful, just not the easiest read for casual interest.

Great Insight into Economic History
This book offers a deep dive into economic backwardness, and I found it really enlightening. The historical perspectives provided are well-researched and insightful. I bought it for a class I'm taking, and it's definitely helping me understand the topic better!
