Description
8vo, 880pp. This is an extraordinary book, bringing in wide swaths of history, economics and sociology around the globe from the 15th to the 21st centuries. It's full of facts, their contexts and the author's interpretations, and nothing is included just to function as padding; it's all good. Even better, the book is written in straightforward, fluent English, not in academic-ese, and the organization (chronological and then more topical) could not be clearer.
