Description
MORE: THE 10,000-YEAR RISE OF THE WORLD ECONOMY offers a sweeping narrative of economic development from the dawn of civilization to the present day. Philip Coggan, drawing on his expertise as The Economist’s investment columnist, provides readers with an accessible yet sophisticated analysis of how societies evolved economically.
The book explores pivotal moments and transformative periods that accelerated human progress, including the agricultural revolution, the industrial revolution, and the digital age. Coggan examines the role of innovation, trade, technology, and institutional development in driving economic growth. He challenges conventional wisdom and provides fresh perspectives on recurring economic patterns, boom-and-bust cycles, and the relationship between economic prosperity and human well-being.
