It is a companion volume to Marc Egnal's well-regarded earlier book, \u003cem\u003eDivergent Paths\u003c\/em\u003e, which emphasized the influence of culture and institutions upon growth. \u003cem\u003eNew World Economies\u003c\/em\u003e studies transatlantic ties and sets forth a rigorous model to explain the pattern of growth. It features seventeen tables and more than one hundred graphs, many of which are based on original data. Several appendices present these valuable new statistics. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eEgnal's core argument is that the pace of economic development in the colonies reflected the rate of growth in the mother country. In advancing this central notion, the book employs a theoretical foundation that builds upon, and then moves beyond, the traditional \"staple thesis.\" Thoroughly documented and rich in quantitative data, this study traces the trajectory of economic growth by region and establishes a clear connection between colonial and European rates of growth. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eGiven its clear arguments, its rich data, and its persuasive overall method, \u003cem\u003eNew World Economies\u003c\/em\u003e will interest scholars and students of economic history, of American and French-Canadian colonial culture, and of transatlantic relations during the eighteenth century.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMarc Egnal\u003c\/strong\u003e earned his M.A. and Ph.D. at the University of Wisconsin, and has received Fulbright and Ford Fellowships.
