Makes sense to me, September 2, 2004
This review is from: Physioeconomics: The Basis for Long-Run Economic Growth (Hardcover)
Saw this title on a physics wish list and picked it up. The read is certainly not too technical, though drifts a bit in the math. Hardly racist as a reviewer says, but instead makes perfect sense. Irrepsective of race or geography, economics are affected by external factors which must obey the laws of physics. Data that do not consider this may mislabel economies as underdeveloped. I read Guns, Germs and Steel but that book misses the fundamentals driving humans that Parker seems to have caught.
