More could be read from Angus Maddison’s book The World Economy: A Millennium Perspective. It gives a rare view of the economic importance and dominance of the two Asian economies (e.g. India and China) over centuries before the rise of the West.

Imperial Europe includes the whole of the Western European powers linking Great Britain, Belgium, Holland, France, Italy, Spain, Portugal, etc. which established colonies across the globe. Even at the beginning of the twentieth century, there was a saying that the sun does not set in the British Empire.

Soon after assuming office for the second time in 2012, Japanese Prime Minister Shinzō Abe launched an economic programme to remedy two decades of stagnation. Nicknamed after him, Abenomics consists of three “arrows”—increasing the nation’s money supply, boosting government spending and enacting reforms to make the economy more competitive. The programme has so far failed to fire up the Japanese economy.
