How the West Became Psychologically Peculiar and Particularly Prosperous
Joseph Henrich - 2020-09-08

Explore the origins and evolution of the Western mind and its impact on the world in The WEIRDest People in the World. By delving into global psychological diversity, Harvard professor Joseph Henrich illuminates the cultural transformations that led to highly individualistic, nonconformist societies like ours. Drawing on research in anthropology, psychology, economics, and evolutionary biology, Henrich maps the shifts in family structures, marriage, and religion that laid the foundation for the modern world. This highly engaging and provocative investigation reveals the fascinating interplay between culture, institutions, and psychology that shapes human history.

Heinrich's book on WIERD cultures is the best account of the industrial revolution I've read. Once WEIRD-ness gets going, it eats everything in sight, and completely reorders power, norms, and social structures.      источник

The Logic of Human Destiny
Robert Wright
Рейтинг Goodreads
Nonzero: The Logic of Human Destiny by Robert Wright examines the direction of evolution and human history, and where it will lead us next. Wright uses the principles of evolutionary biology to explain how life has followed a basic pattern - growing more complex by mastering internal cooperation. From fossilized bacteria to the World Trade Organization, Wright reveals surprising benefits of barbarian hordes and the stability of feudalism. This refreshingly insightful and witty book suggests that human morality has improved over time and our instinct to discover meaning may serve a higher purpose. Nonzero offers breathtaking implications for what we believe and how we adapt to technology's transformation of the world.
