Eric Jones is the author of numerous articles and several books.
His most notable work is The European Miracle: Environments, Economies and Geopolitics in the History of Europe and Asia book (published in 1981). The work popularized the term European miracle, but it also proved controversial, with some scholars describing his interpretation as 'Eurocentric'.[2]
In Growth Recurring (1988) Jones focused on the states system theory as the decisive factor in the development of the West.
