Vintage Digital, 2022

This breakthrough scientific masterwork - and INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER - reveals the underlying forces that have shaped human history and will secure our future... 'Masterful. Galor answers the ultimate mystery' Lewis Dartnell The stunning advances that have transformed human experience in recent centuries are no accident of history - they are the result of universal and timeless forces, operating since the dawn of our species. Drawing on a lifetime's scientific investigation, Oded Galor's ground-breaking new vision overturns a host of long-held assumptions to reveal the deeper causes that have shaped the journey of humanity: Education rather than industrialisation Family size and gender equality as much as inventions and technology Geography and diversity rather than wars, disease and famine 'Unparalleled in its scope and ambition . . . All readers will learn something' Washington Post 'An inspiring, readable, jargon-free and almost impossibly erudite masterwork' New Statesman 'His optimism about humanity shines through' Observer 'If you need an evidence-based antidote to doomscrolling, here it is' Guardian Its transformative and ultimately hopeful vision contains the keys not only to the thriving of our species but to our survival. ____ 'An engaging and optimistic answer to anyone who thinks that poverty and inequality will always be with us' Ian Morris, author of Why the West Rules - For Now 'Breathtakingly ambitious' Robert Solow, Nobel Laureate in Economics 'Magisterial' Glenn C. Loury, author of The Anatomy of Racial Inequality
