This course explores the major economic divergence observed in Europe from the mid-19th century, tracing its roots to the Industrial Revolution initiated in 18th-century England. It first aims to define the global spread of industrialization and its key drivers. Secondly, it examines why some regions failed to follow a similar path. The analysis is mainly grounded in Robert Allen’s thesis on the conditions enabling industrial take-off.
