EconomistNorberg is a prophet of anti-pessimism GuardianGolden ages are marked by periods of spectacular cultural flourishing, scientific exploration, technological achievement and economic growth: Ancient Greece gave us democracy and the rule of the law; out of Abbasid Baghdad came algebra and modern medicine, and the Dutch Republic furnished us with Europes greatest artistic movements. As such, each has unique lessons to teach us about the world we live in today. But, all previous golden ages have proven finite, whether through external pressures or internal fracturing.In Peak Human, acclaimed historian Johan Norberg examines seven of humanitys greatest civilizations - ancient Athens, the Roman Republic, Abbasid Baghdad, Song China, Renaissance Italy, the Dutch Republic and the Anglosphere - and asks: how do we ensure that our current golden age doesnt end?...6389683Peak Human286349https://www.gandhi.com.mx/peak-human-9781838957308/phttps://gandhi.vtexassets.com/arquivos/ids/6247114/image.jpg?v=638820148847600000InStockMXN99999DIEbook20259781838957308_W3siaWQiOiI2MDIwNGY0Yy0zYmZlLTRmNzQtOTM0ZC01ZjE1ZTkxZjIzMTQiLCJsaXN0UHJpY2UiOjMyOSwiZGlzY291bnQiOjQ5LCJzZWxsaW5nUHJpY2UiOjI4MCwiaW5jbHVkZXNUYXgiOnRydWUsInByaWNlVHlwZSI6Ildob2xlc2FsZSIsImN1cnJlbmN5IjoiTVhOIiwiZnJvbSI6IjIwMjQtMDktMDNUMjM6MDA6MDBaIiwicmVnaW9uIjoiTVgiLCJpc1ByZW9yZGVyIjp0cnVlfV0=9781838957308_All golden ages are marked by periods of spectacular cultural flourishing, scientific exploration, technological achievement and economic growth; yet no two are the same. Their beliefs, societies and place in the wider world all vary. Despite this, all previous golden ages have ended, whether it be because of external pressures or internal fracturing; too much hubris or too little wariness. Looking at seven of humanitys greatest civilisations - ancient Athens, the Roman Republic, Abbasid Baghdad, Song China, Renaissance Italy, the Dutch Republic and the Anglosphere - historian and commentator Johan Norberg seeks to distil their strengths and shortcomings in answering the question: how do we ensure that our current golden age doesnt end? As insightful as it is riveting, Peak Human is at once a paean to our incredible progress and a warning that we cannot afford to be complacent....9781838957308_Atlantic Bookslibro_electonico_9781838957308_9781838957308Johan NorbergInglésMéxico2025-05-01T00:00:00+00:002025-05-01T00:00:00+00:00Atlantic Books
