"Frank explains the Rise of the West from 1400 forward in world economic and demographic terms, with a sweeping historical perspective that places it in clear conjunction with the Decline of the East around 1800. European states, he says, used the silver extracted from the American colonies to buy entry into an expanding Asian market, which already flourished in the global economy by means of the very productive commercial and institutional mechanisms that were supposedly unique to Europe. Then, as the East entered into a declining phase of the cyclical world economy, the nations of the West resorted to import substitution and export promotion in the world market to become Newly Industrializing Economies."
