Abstract

All history-writing, whether Ranke’s or Rostow’s, is a stylisation of the infinity of facts, and all theorising on history is a stylisation of the infinity of relationships among them. Over the past twenty-five years, in teaching the economic history of Europe to graduate students in economics, I have selected three stylised relationships as the core around which to assemble the record. (It is well known that three, being the number of observable dimensions in our human world, is the largest number which people can hold simultaneously in their minds; a science which rests on three factors of production should appreciate the point.)
