THE INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER

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 identifies these keys to human progress, overturning a host of long-held assumptions and revealing 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

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.
