Engine of Geopolitics
Global Disparities Since 1800
This paper reviews the growing body of evidence on the relative economic standing of different regions of the world in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries. In general, it does not find support for Euro-centric claims regarding Western Europe s early economic lead.

The basic macro‐economics of oil economies
Focussing on the rentier aspects of an oil economy, where the rent accrues in foreign exchange, this paper constructs a simple Keynesian model of a typical oil economy. Increases in oil‐financed government expenditures in the short run, are shown to raise the general price level and the relative price of non‐tradables. Sustained increases in oil‐financed government expenditures are shown to result in an economy whose structure resembles that of t…
