Conclusion. 000856553 506__ $$aAccess limited to authorized users. 000856553 520__ $$aThis book describes and evaluates how institutional innovation and technological innovation have impacted on humanity from pre-historical times to modern times, and how societies have been transformed in history. The author interrogates the relationship between innovation and civilisation -- particularly the dynamic whereby innovation leads to empire-building -- and explores innovation efforts that stimulated economic and social synergies from the Babylonian Empire in 1900 BC up to the British Empire in the twentieth century. The author uses historical cross-cultural case studies to establish the factors which have given competitive advantages to societies and empires. This book will be of interest to researchers and students in political economy, economic history, economic growth and innovation economics.--$$cProvided by publisher. 000856553 588__ $$aDescription based on online resource; title from digital title page (viewed on December 19, 2018). 000856553 650_0 $$aTechnological innovations$$xEconomic aspects$$xHistory. 000856553 650_0 $$aTechnological innovations$$xSocial aspects$$xHistory. 000856553 77608 $$iPrint version:$$aRamesh, Sangaralingam.$$tRise of Empires : The Political Economy of Innovation.$$dCham : Palgrave Macmillan US, ©2018$$z9783030016074 000856553 85280 $$bebk$$hSpringerLink 000856553 85640 $$3SpringerLink$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-3-030-01608-1$$zOnline Access$$91397441.1 000856553 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:856553$$pGLOBAL_SET 000856553 980__ $$aEBOOK 000856553 980__ $$aBIB 000856553 982__ $$aEbook 000856553 983__ $$aOnline 000856553 994__ $$a92$$bISE
