Document Summary
Course: econ 3r03 - the history of economic growth. You would expect the three- eld system to almost immediately replace the two- eld system but alas it did not. This demonstrates that no one technology is the killer technology, one technology alone can"t bring about sustained economic growth, which technology you use depends on relative input scarcity. The kind of innovations that occurred in the industrial revolution were possible because of the relative factor prices. Spain had characteristics very much like many arab/middle eastern nations including climate and culture. China to the sierra nevada mountains and for a while spain was a major world producer of silk. Despite the constant battles between the christians and the muslims there was a robust trade between the groups. The islamics captured chinese paper makers and as a result paper making technology spread throughout the islamic world.
