Publisher's Synopsis
The author of this book will use the original "unified growth" framework to lead us back to the history of human development since Homo sapiens left Africa. The author believes that geographical factors and migration processes affect the culture and institutions of each society, and act on the "giant historical gear" between population size, demographic structure and technological progress, and ultimately determine the timing of each society and country's entry into modern civilization and methods, forming the development pattern of today's world. The impact of history is far-reaching and long, but the future is not predestined. The gears of history will continue to turn, and the adoption of appropriate policy measures and values tailored to local conditions will help achieve universal prosperity for humanity. "
