In this book, the famous American sociologist and political scientist Jack Goldstone explains how Europe in the 19th century turned from a peripheral and relatively backward region to the place where innovations of a grandiose scale were carried out, whose power was immeasurably, and the welfare of the population grew sharply. Was there such an elevation by the consequence of some uniqueness of Europe? Did it become the result of changes in the relationship between the region with the rest of the world? Was this heyday differed from other such periods in the history of mankind? Few historians are able to answer such questions better than Jack Goldstone, who devoted several decades to their understanding. In this work, relying on the most recent studies in this area, he provides the widest audience with his mature reflections on the causes of the rapid development of Europe.
