Want to Read $ 10.99"У 1579-му міська рада Гданська наказала непомітно втопити винахідника нового верстата для плетіння тасьми, який загрожував традиційним виробникам цієї продукції."-Oded Galor, The Journey of Humanity: The Origins of Wealth and Inequality
"У 1958 році американський політолог Едвард Бенфілд сформулював впливову теорію, відповідно до якої низький рівень економічного розвитку в цьому регіоні пов’язаний з міцними родинними зв’язками. За його словами, такі зв’язки зменшують довіру до членів інших родів і негативно впливають на співпрацю заради спільної мети, що знижує рівень економічного розвитку в регіоні."-Oded Galor, The Journey of Humanity: The Origins of Wealth and Inequality
"Дуже часто рекомендації західних держав щодо розвитку політики в бідніших країнах мало відрізняються від «ритуалів відновлення» в жителів острова Танна. Вони передбачають зовнішню імітацію інститутів, що мають стосунок до економічного процвітання розвинених країн, без належного врахування передумов їхнього добробуту — умов, яких у відсталіших державах може й не бути."-Oded Galor, The Journey of Humanity: The Origins of Wealth and Inequality
"Після Великого повстання проти Римської імперії, яке спалахнуло в Юдеї 66 року н. е., римляни знищили Єрусалим і Єрусалимський храм. Кілька основних течій юдаїзму зникло, зокрема садукеї (священники й аристократи) та зелоти, які боролися за незалежність євреїв; фарисеї ж — порівняно поміркована фракція, яка віддавала вивченню релігійних текстів перевагу над церемоніальними богослужіннями в храмі, — стали панівною групою в юдейському світі. Вчені фарисеї закликали до масової доступності освіти, а згодом застосовували культурні санкції проти родин, які не віддавали синів до школи, мимохідь спонукаючи бідніших відмовлятися від юдаїзму."-Oded Galor, The Journey of Humanity: The Origins of Wealth and Inequality
