Abstract

Summarizes Whitham's talk entitled "Transportation and Civilization" before the Shanghai Rotary Club on September 7, 1923, in which he anticipated the "Great Divergence" thesis, arguing that while during the Han Dynasty, the transportation were far better in China than they were in Europe at the time, since the advent of the industrial revolution, however, China has stood still, comparatively speaking.
