The book "How the West Got Rich" by N. Rosenberg and L. Birtsdell is considered one of the best explanations for the "European miracle" - explosive economic growth, first in England in the first third of the XNUMXth century, and then in other countries of Western Europe and in the USA. Prior to this, for several thousand years of recorded history in all human civilizations, the vast majority of people lived in a gloomy Malthusian world of want, illiteracy, unsanitary conditions, epidemics, and periodic famine in lean years. The authors are trying to find out what was the peculiarity of Western Europe, which eventually made it possible to create a modern industrially developed prosperous society. They begin their research from the Middle Ages. The formation of many institutions that promote economic development began in Europe at that time in the depths of the feudal political and economic structure. The most important factor in this evolution was the political fragmentation of Western Europe, the absence of a single despotic power, which made Europe different from China, India and Islamic countries.
