Query: This book is absolutely brilliant and thought provoking.

I read this book after reading Paul Johnson's "History of the American People" and I wish I had read this book as a prelude. The two books absolutely complement each other. David Landes writes in a very clear easy to understand manner. It is a very enlightening explanation of how the World's economys evolved through history. It is done in such a manner in which I have never had it explained to me by any previous professors or teachers. If more teachers could teach Economics, Social History and World History like this more students would be excited about these subjects. Every student or world citizen should read this book.
