Ce chef-d'œuvre scientifique - et best-seller international - révèle les forces sous-jacentes qui ont façonné l'histoire de l'humanité et qui assureront notre avenir... Les progrès stupéfiants qui ont transformé l'expérience humaine au cours des derniers siècles ne sont pas un accident de l'histoire : ils sont le résultat de forces universelles et intemporelles qui agissent depuis l'aube de notre espèce. S'appuyant sur les recherches scientifiques de toute une vie, la nouvelle vision révolutionnaire d'Oded Galor bouleverse toute une série d'hypothèses de longue date.

A great historical fresco.

Le Monde

Masterful. Galor answers the ultimate mystery.

Lewis Dartnell

"A wildly ambitious attempt to do for economics what Newton, Darwin or Einstein did for their fields: develop a theory that explains almost everything ... an inspiring, readable, jargon-free and almost impossibly erudite masterwork, the boldest possible attempt to write the economic history of humanity."

New Statesman

There will be inevitable comparisons with Yuval Noah Harari's Sapiens ... If you need an evidence-based antidote to doomscrolling, here it is.

The Guardian

A large-scale survey of human history... The heart of the matter is why some countries grow and some don't... Perhaps growth-mad Liz Truss should have read it. You certainly should.

The Times

Unparalleled in its scope and ambition…All readers will learn something.
