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.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eThis book will be of interest to researchers and students in political economy, economic history, economic growth and innovation economics.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Palgrave Macmillan\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2018-11-19\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9783030016074\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-3-030-01608-1\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 210cm x148cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 328\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer International Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47708641263756,"sku":"9783030016074","price":116.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9783030016074.jpg?v=1776781588","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9783030016074","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
