Roots of Growth and Inequality in the Wealth of Nations

Short Description:

What sparked humanity’s leap from stagnation to prosperity? What drives the vast inequality among nations? This course examines the evolution of societies across human history. The first part uncovers the universal forces that have shaped humanity’s journey, culminating in the dramatic transformation of living standards over the past two centuries. The second part explores the influence of deeply rooted factors—institutions, culture, geography, and human diversity—on the differential pace of societal evolution and the emergence of vast disparities in the wealth of nations.
