Since it isn't properly denounced it must be irrelevant garbage. Any real account of human evolution is politically taboo, even within academia.

It's actually bretty good though. Surprisingly though he actually says that things like capitalism and colonial empires deserve more credit than leftists usually give them. Talks about how big a contribution Britain had to science and world economy because of how well those go hand-in-hand with exploring and colonizing. Also talks about how good Capitalism is for dismantling Absolute monarchs and despots, with the example of the arbitrary Spanish king and the Dutch subjects who won better support from financiers (and eventually their independence) because of actually paying debts on time, etc. Basically this book triggers the average leftist and the average alt-righty.

That’s because it’s /newsincerity/ blueprint to human society written for computers and 18 year olds training to become computers. Emotionless dinner party plattering that shows how materialism proves everything doesn’t matter and everything that isn’t matter is a myth. Garbage, more like an elegy to human history than a history.
