This book examines the long term economic growth that has raised the West’s material living standards to levels undreamed of by counterparts in any previous time or place. The authors argue that this growth has been driven by technological revolutions that have periodically transformed the West’s economic, social and political landscape over the last 10,000 years and allowed the West to become, until recently, the world’s only dominant technological force.
