Birth of the modern world
Rather than a chronology of the events, Bayly attempts to show the reciprocal influence of the regional stories the ones towards the others, by also studying the influences of the culture (arts, lifestyles…) on mentalities. It at that time revalues the place held by Asia, taking again the searchs for Kenneth Pomeranz, and following those of Jan de Vries date of half of the 19th century the decisive influence of the industrial revolution, preferring to him until this period the concept of industrial Révolution. It devaluates on the other hand the Marxist vision, too centered on the econonomy of Eric Hobsbawm, but one can reproach him the lack of such a vision structuring in his test.
