Description
"The Journey of Humanity explores the evolution of human societies since the emergence of Homo sapiens in Africa nearly 300,000 years ago. It resolves two of the most fundamental mysteries that surround this journey: The mystery of growth – what are the roots of the dramatic transformation in living standards in the past 200 years, after 300,000 years of near stagnation. The mystery is inequality – what is the origin of the vast inequality in living standards across countries and regions?”Oded Galor is Herbert H. Goldberger Professor of Economics at Brown University and the founding thinker behind Unified Growth Theory, which seeks to uncover the fundamental causes of development, prosperity and inequality over the entire span of human history. He has shared the insights of his lifetime’s work in this field at some of the most prestigious lectures around the globe and has now distilled those discoveries into The Journey of Humanity, which is published in 30 languages worldwide.www.odedgalor.comwww.brown.edu/academics/population-studies/people/person/oded-galorThe Journey of Humanity www.oneplanetpodcast.orgwww.creativeprocess.info
