Why are humans the only species to have escaped—only very recently—the subsistence trap, allowing us to enjoy a standard of living that vastly exceeds all others? And why have we progressed so unequally around the world, resulting in the great disparities between nations that exist today? Galor’s gripping narrative explains how technology, population size, and adaptation led to a stunning “phase change” in the human story a mere two hundred years ago.

Through an abundance of interesting historical and anthropological examples, this book presents a coherent scientific theory on the root causes of human economic prosperity and global inequality. The author exposes key mechanisms that explains global economic development since the origins of humankind, as well as income inequality across countries today. The book is extremely well written and interspersed with interesting information. At the same time, the book does not oversimplify the arguments, and is filled with pointers to the relevant primary literature. This makes the book suitable for both curious members of the general public as well as students of economics or related disciplines.
