Most people in the world today think democracy and gender equality are good, and that violence and wealth inequality are bad. But most people who lived during the 10,000 years before the nineteenth century thought just the opposite. Drawing on archaeology, anthropology, biology, and history, Ian Morris, author of the best-selling Why the West Rules - for Now, explains why. The result is a compelling new argument about the evolution of human values, one that has far-reaching implications for how we understand the past - and for what might happen next.

Ian Morris Edited and with an introduction by Stephen Macedo
Rezensionen
"Ian Morris has thrown another curveball for social science. In this disarmingly readable book, which takes us from prehistory to the present, he offers a new theory of human culture, linking it firmly to economic fundamentals and how humans obtained their energy and resources from nature. This is bold, erudite, and provocative." - Daron Acemoglu, coauthor of How Nations Fail: The Origins of Power, Prosperity, and Poverty
