A Farewell to Alms: A Brief Economic History of the World - The Princeton Economic History of the Western World
Gregory Clark
Why are some parts of the world so rich and others so poor? Why did the Industrial Revolution occur in eighteenth-century England, and not at some other time, or in some other place? This title tackles these profound questions and suggests a fresh way in which culture explains the wealth, and the poverty, of nations.
