It presents a model of two styles of imperialism that integrates the colonial origin and endowment views explaining current institutions. The authors argue that Great Britain and Portugal adopted an 'economically-oriented' style, which was pragmatic and sensitive to initial conditions. For this style of imperialism the endowment view is applicable. In contrast, France employed a 'politically-oriented' style of imperialism, in which ideological and political motivations were more present. This led to a uniform colonial policy that largely disregarded initial endowments. In turn, the case of Spain represents a hybrid of the two models. The empirical analysis presented here reveals a remarkable degree of heterogeneity in the relationship of endowments and colonizer identity with current institutions.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52935860912407,"sku":null,"price":10730.72,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0679\/6918\/8119\/files\/9783319541273.jpg?v=1781618391","url":"https:\/\/payment.letskitaboo.com\/products\/contributions-to-economics-9783319541273","provider":"Kitaboo One eStore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
