The Four Logistical Revolutions

Abstract

ABSTRACT In this paper a paradigm of the dynamics of long term regional structural change is outlined. It is claimed that the interdependency between slowly improving network infrastructures and quickly changing nodal production capacity will give rise in general to rapid structural change at critical phases of evolution – points of revolution. The proposed approach can also explain the slow degradation and collapse of logistical (or trade, transport, and information) systems which occurred regularly in ancient historical time. The approach is used for a discussion of the economic history of the North Atlantic region since the eleventh century and for a concluding discussion of current economic structural change.
