The Measure of Civilization: How Social Development Decides the Fate of Nations
Ian Morris
Over the years, there have been fierce debates over how civilizations develop and why the West became so powerful. Using a numerical index of social development that compares societies in different times and places, the author gives a sweeping examination of Eastern and Western development across 15,000 years since the end of the last ice age.
