Abstract

Today's tremendous income disparity has only existed for the past 200 years: in the 100,000 years of the history of humanity before the end of the 18th century, living standards had hardly improved. That changed radically with the industrial revolution. But why? And why did it start in England and not in China? Adapted from the source document.
