by Jared Diamond (Author)

El multipremiado profesor Diamond divulga los resultados de su apasionante estudio

Qué se puede aprender sobre las grandes cuestiones de las ciencias sociales a través de la observación?

Jared Diamond comenzó su carrera académica como naturalista: observaba a los pájaros y deducía reglas de su comportamiento. Cuando cambió de foco y empezó a estudiar organismos complejos como las sociedades humanas, no cambió de método, y en este breve libro explica cuánto se puede aprender a través de este procedimiento.

En siete breves capítulos explica por qué unos países son pobres y otros ricos, cómo influyen las instituciones en la prosperidad, la influencia de la geografía en el devenir de China frente al de Europa, el papel de las crisis nacionales, y los grandes problemas que el mundo afronta hoy en día.

Un libro fascinante que en pocas páginas compone una lección magistral sobre las grandes cuestiones de la actualidad y qué lecciones podemos sacar de las ciencias sociales para afrontarlas.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

The multi-award-winning professor Diamond divulges the results of his thrilling study.

What can we learn about social science's great questions through observation?

Jared Diamond began his academic career as a naturalist: he observed birds and deducted the rules of their behavior. When he changed his focus and began studying complex organisms, such as human societies, he didn't change his method, and in this brief book explains how much we can learn through this process.

In seven short chapters, Diamond explains why some countries are poor and others rich, how institutions influence prosperity, the impact of geography in China's future compared to that of Europe's, the role of national crises, and great problems the world is currently facing.

A fascinating book that, in but a few pages, composes a master class on the great issues of today and the lessons we can extract from social science to address them.
