What books have had the greatest impact on world history? I was thinking the Bible, the Ninety-Five Theses and the Communist Manifesto

Pic unrelated

I think you're right.

GG op.

(Maybe Quran and Torah too, not because #allreligionsequal but because of recent (((events))).)

(((History))) never seems influenced by good works of art or thought. Almost as if all of it was just about materialistic gains/loses

Because the Great Man theory is provingly bullshit. History as a whole is nothing but brownian motion of millions of people who at large want a place to sleep, things to eat, and vaginas to fuck, it's a small wonder that the greatest influence on history came from simplistic works of little artistic value. Bible and Manifesto were used in a very practical way, they were the How To Live And Think For Dummies of their time

The Wealth of Nations? The Capital? The Prince? Those are at least top 10.
