Summary: "Why did some countries grow rich while others remained poor? Tracing the long arc of human history from hunter gatherer societies to the early twenty first century, Andrew Brooks rejects popular explanations for the divergence of nations. This accessible and illuminating volume shows how the wealth of 2018the West2019 and poverty of 2018the rest2019 stem not from environmental factors or some unique European cultural, social or technological qualities, but from the expansion of colonialism and the rise of America.
