Title: Great Divergence
Passage: During the Song Dynasty (960 -- 1279), the country experienced a revolution in agriculture, water transport, finance, urbanization, science and technology, which made the Chinese economy the most advanced in the world from about 1100.

By 1300, China had fallen behind Italy in living standards.

Title: East India Company
Passage: With the advent of the Industrial Revolution, Britain surged ahead of its European rivals. Demand for Indian commodities was boosted by the need to sustain the troops and the economy during the war, and by the increased availability of raw materials and efficient methods of production.
