Was the growth triggered by the Black Death unique to Western Europe? Why did similar calamities elsewhere not trigger such growth? The Mongols wiped out a number of central Asian countries, even down into Persia, yet we saw nothing equivalent there. The deadliest wars in history were in China. The Americas had no chance to go into growth because the invaders from Europe arrived too soon after the plague. But what about Africa? The Far East? Why did only Europe respond to calamity this way?
