A Farewell To Alms by Gregory Clark
A Brief Economic History of the World
This book explores the economic history of the world, focusing on the reasons behind the Industrial Revolution and the subsequent economic divergence between the West and the rest of the world. It delves into the role of cultural, genetic, and institutional factors in shaping economic outcomes, challenging traditional views on the importance of institutions and geography. The narrative suggests that the Industrial Revolution was not merely a result of technological advancements but also deeply rooted in the social and biological evolution of societies, leading to a profound transformation in living standards and economic growth.
