Peak Human by Johan Norberg
What We Can Learn from the Rise and Fall of Golden Ages
Peak Human examines seven historical golden ages—ancient Athens, the Roman Republic, Abbasid Baghdad, Song China, Renaissance Italy, the Dutch Republic and the Anglosphere—to identify the cultural, scientific, technological and economic factors that enabled their flourishing. Johan Norberg explores common patterns and vulnerabilities in these societies and draws lessons about how progress can be sustained and why prosperous eras eventually falter.
