The Wealth And Poverty Of Nations. This paper discusses the book The Wealth and Poverty of Nations. While Harvard Professor of History and Economics David S. Landes states in his book that that no has the simple answer as to why some nations are very rich and some are very poor today, he nevertheless argues that the West has been way ahead of the East in progress and success. He categorically points to England as the first country in world history to develop and this happened in the 18th century. Because of this, he writes that Europe (or England) shows how a nation can succeed. The book is a direct negation of the concept of multiculturalism in declaring that even the Chinese and Islamic civilizations' great scientific and technological advancements could not continue to progress as Europe has. He attests to a European miracle in earlier centuries. Pages: 7 Bibliography: 3 source(s) listed Filename: 98 Wealth Poverty Nations.doc Price: 62.65
