JAY, PETER
Road to Riches or the Wealth of Man
London, Weidenfeld and Nicolson. 2000, First. (ISBN: 0297643673). Hard Cover, 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. A Fine unmarked copy with Fine dustjacket which is not price clipped.xv + 383 pages. 68 illustrations. The book tells the story of the rise and the fall of whole economies and nations, the ascent - and frequent pauses - of mankind as the only economic animal, as producer, consumer and accumulator of wealth. It tells how we have grown from being one species among many on earth, to regard ourselves as the master species. It is a gripping story of triumph and iniquity, posing a stupendous puzzle: How and why did it happen? What were the decisive moments and advances? Why was progress so uneven? Was there a single recipe for progress? Have we finally inherited the earth? Peter Jay reaches beyond the narrow limit of economics for the answers that can explain the wealth of man and the road to riches. 16. Fine/Fine.
