New page

The '''Great Divergence''' refers to the {{w|stylized fact}} of a divergence in living standards between these two, during and before the 19th century:

* Western Europe (and the parts of the United States settled by people from Western Europe)
* The other great medieval empires, including Mughal India, Wing China, the Ottoman Empire, Joseon Korea, and Tokugawa Japan.

== Variables of contention ==

=== Timing ===

Some schools (such as those led by Maddison) take the view that living standards had diverged in the medieval period, by the 17th century or earlier, with per capita GDP in Western Europe about double that in India, China, and Japan. The per capita GDP diverged further in the 19th century with the Industrial Revolution.

The California School endorses the Pomeranz hypothesis, which says that there was no divergence till the late 18th century, so that the Great Divergence occurred along with, or just shortly before, the Industrial Revolution.
