Customer Reviews
Very interesting
The professor is interesting and well prepared but many of his claims are more hand waving than firm arguments.
Just too simplistic
I understand Prof Clark is very educated and knowledgeable, but his whole thesis about how “nothing happened between 1200 and 1650” is just irritating to me. So. Much. Happened. In that time. From the slow end of feudalism, advances in banking, colonial domination, crop rotation methods, the Protestant reformation, etc. I know some will not see these as economic but I’d say that’s incorrect. The changing ideologies and political formations that get changed or created matter so much regarding how people decide distribute wealth.
Thinly veiled pro-eugenics propaganda
Listen closely folks. Red pill
