    Why did the Industrial Revolution start when it did? Why did Silicon Valley happen in California rather than Japan or Boston? Human progress is understudied, and @patrickc and @tylercowen want to change that.http://on.theatln.tc/mlOXOp2

        Yikes. I never had to read it for APWH. What year did you take the exam?

        Don't be so full of yourselves. History like that has been published here and there for years. Jared Diamond is just one of many such writers. Maybe spend some more time reading and less time writing until you catch up.

        On discoveries in ancient Greece/China/Middle East/Florence/England: “In each case, the discoveries that came to elevate standards of living for everyone” etc — ?? No such elevation occurred in any of the pre-English cases, i.e. for most of history.

        Definitely. They are right about everyone, because in pre-English, and even pre-Renaissance to some extent, cases the individual was subjected to the group.
