Books by Angus Maddison
Contours of the World Economy, 1-2030AD
by Angus Maddison
This is the last work by perhaps the world’s foremost qualitative economic historian. Maddison is the only person who has produced the only extant series of quantitative national account statistics, GDP per capita, for most countries of the world since 1820, and for some (like the Roman Empire) going back to the 1st century AD. Everybody who wants to do empirically based economic history has to start with Maddison.
