EVOLUTION OF EVERYTHING

‘If there is one dominant myth about the world | one huge mistake we all make … it is that we all go around assuming the world is much more of a planned place than it is. ’From the industrial revolution and the rise of China | to urbanisation and the birth of bitcoin | Matt Ridley demolishes conventional assumptions that the great events and trends of our day are dictated by those on high. On the contrary | our most important achievements develop from the ground up. In this wide-ranging and erudite book | Matt Ridley brilliantly makes the case for evolution as the force that has shaped much of our culture | our minds | and that even now is shaping our future. As compelling as it is controversial | as authoritative as it is ambitious | Ridley’s deeply thought-provoking book will change the way we think about the world and how it works.
