Coolidge Professor of History and Professor of Economics Eme Motivational & Personal Success Books Editorial Review
The Wealth and Poverty of Nations is an erudite and thought-provoking book on the world's economic history. It is a descriptive rather than prescriptive analysis of the forces that have shaped the wealth and poverty of nations over centuries. Although Landes takes aim at all forms of political correctness and controversially addresses issues surrounding multiculturalism, critics argue that there is too much Eurocentrism in his analysis. Landes' thesis centres around the importance of a culture of scientific inquiry and invention spurred by a rivalry between nations and is supported by extensive research. He argues that the key to the wealth of nations is a strong work ethic, property rights, and a fragmented authority. Despite Landes being argumentative about free market principals, the book is well researched and has a great story worth reading.
