摘要

The defining issue for economic science remains, as it was for Adam Smith, how best to explain "the wealth of nations." Although our understanding of why some peoples are rich and others poor remains highly incomplete, major advances have been made in just the last few years. Angus Maddison's new monograph, The World Economy is an important benchmark in the fast-growing interpretative literature on the nature of long-term economic growth and inequality between nations. During a career that spans four decades Maddison has published individual case studies of Brazil, China, Europe, India, Indonesia, Japan, Mexico, and Russia in addition to a widely-cited series of publications that summarize most of what we know about the empirical dimensions of long-term growth (Maddison, 1982, 1983, 1989, 1991, 1995, 1998). The new book contributes on an even grander scale to our knowledge of the empirical dimensions of economic change and to the ongoing interpretation and reinterpretation of the evidence. Maddison's premise is that before one can explain why economic growth has differed, one must have credible evidence of such differences. Reliable evidence about the extent and timing of growth rate differentials is therefore absolutely central to the historical debate―and Maddison has compiled the necessary evidence through a critical and discriminating collection of the most useful estimates of population and national income from scholars around the world. For example, his 1995 book Monitoring the World Economy reported estimates of GDP as early as 1820 for 30 countries. These data permitted, for the first time, a systematic analysis of comparative growth that combined the 19th and 20th centuries on a truly global scale. Now, in The World Economy, Maddison extends his own compilation and interpretation to take account of studies emerging from other research groups in order to update his data and reconsider his own interpretations. The new volume is both a documentation of the level of economic activity in past economies and a prolonged reflection on both the theory and experience of economic change.
