Maddison's narrative is structured around a series of thematic analyses that highlight the evolution of economies across different regions. Using comprehensive data, he illustrates the shifts in economic power, the rise and fall of nations, and the underlying factors that drive economic growth and development. The book not only presents statistical insights but also tells the story of human endeavour and resilience through economic challenges.
