Fifty Inventions That Shaped the Modern Economy paints an epic picture of change in an intimate way by telling the stories of the tools, people, and ideas that had far-reaching consequences for all of us. From the plough to artificial intelligence, from Gillette's disposable razor to IKEA's Billy bookcase, best-selling author and Financial Times columnist Tim Harford recounts each invention's own curious, surprising, and memorable story.

Great book, narrator needs to stick to his own accent
Revisado: 01-24-23
Great book on content. Harford is always informative and this was a very educational journey. I was a little disappointed that he didn’t narrate it himself (especially given that he’s done it for other books and many podcasts) but I was pleased with the narrator, who’s got a good “book reading” voice. That is, until he decided to try to use an American accent for American voices. It’s just bizarre. It’s like something from a sitcom where a foreigner tries to pass as American but it just comes off hilariously bad. It’s not enough to downgrade the book as a whole, and it’s not even a knock on the narrator, who I otherwise liked. But I was embarrassed for the guy for much of the book.
