History opens itself to you in this book. By following the central conflict of human history (production versus plunder), the rise and fall of human civilizations become understandable. The truth is that the battles and names that most of us learn in school are never connected to their most basic causes, and therefore never really fit together into an understandable whole. In this book, however, they do.

At the dawn of 1868, Britain invaded Ethiopia with 13,000 soldiers and a crack unit of collectors, oddballs and boffins. As the troops advanced, the force's zoologists shot and stuffed anything that moved. Its archaeologists carried out a hit-and-run dig along the way. The British Museum librarian who was hitching a ride on the raid loaded up with crosses and crowns plundered during the mission's final battle. And a red-headed, 6-foot-6-inches intelligence officer called Captain Speedy picked up a young prince called Alamayu and took him back to England.

A Region of Regimes Prosperity and Plunder in the Asia-Pacific (Cornell Studies in Political Economy)

 
A Region of Regimes Prosperity and Plunder in the Asia-Pacific (Cornell Studies in Political Economy)
A Region of Regimes: Prosperity and Plunder in the Asia-Pacific (Cornell Studies in Political Economy) by T. J. Pempel
English | September 15th, 2021 | ISBN: 1501758802 | 252 pages | True EPUB | 3.81 MB
A Region of Regimes traces the relationship between politics and economics-power and prosperity-in the Asia-Pacific in the decades since the Second World War. This book complicates familiar and incomplete narratives of the "Asian economic miracle" to show radically different paths leading to high growth for many but abject failure for some. T. J. Pempel analyzes policies and data from ten East Asian countries, categorizing them into three distinct regime types, each historically contingent and the product of specific configurations of domestic institutions, socio-economic resources, and external support.
