Welcome to IOU Digital Library

A concise and accessible university-level text spanning Europe’s economic development from the early Middle Ages to modern times. Persson argues that institutional evolution and knowledge-based technological progress—rather than Malthusian constraints—best explain Europe's unique trajectory. Covering topics like population dynamics, credit systems, trade policies, globalization, and inequality, the book integrates economic theory with historical narratives. Features include text boxes, figures, a detailed glossary, and supplementary online resources.
