| Description: |
The idea of long-term European dominance is characteristic of most evolutionary theories of human culture and society in the 19th century. Today there are many who still believe that this progression was part of a European miracle that underlay the rise to global supremacy of the West. This book dismantles this Eurocentric view of the world. |
| Synopsis: |
In this short book Jack Goody systematically dismantles this Eurocentric view of the world. He argues that we need to look for a Eurasian miracle that went back to the Urban Revolution of the Bronze Age, that affected the Near East, India and China well before Europe and that was much advanced by the adoption of writing. |
