We are happy to invite you to the online lecture by Joel Mokyr "The Great Enrichment: How Western Europe Became Global Economic Leader in the 18th and 19th Centuries", held as part of the NES Guest Lecture Series.

Topic

The process of modern economic growth, or as it is also called, the Great Enrichment, has begun in Western Europe in the 18th century. However, it was not an inevitable part of the European history. How did an open market for ideas and political fragmentation lead Europe to wealth? And what was the role of culture, artisans and practical science in this process?

Moderator: Andrei Markevich, NES Professor.
