The path of humanity

During a fascinating journey from the dawn of human existence to the present day, the economist Odd Galor offers the intriguing solution of two great mysteries of human history.
Why are people the only species that solved the problem of survival and achieved an unprecedented level of comfort in everyday life? And why did humanity develop so unevenly in different corners of the world, which, as a result, led to a huge inequality between countries?
Galor explains how humanity has made a leap from stagnation to an amazing technological breakthrough of two hundred years ago. It also traces how their history affected modern societies: geographical location, mixing of populations, periods of colonization. He draws a universal picture of the development of society, showing that the contribution to education, equality and social balance, ensures our further prosperity
