Sommario/riassunto |
|
How do the world's societies differ from each other? What were the reasons for change in the past, and do they help us in predicting change in the future? Daniel Chirot shows how the UK, a marginal agrarian civilization on the edge of Europe, produced through the industrial revolution changes which transformed the world. |
