Summary:The idea of long-term European dominance is characteristic of most evolutionary theories of human culture and society in the 19th century. It was commonly believed that there was a natural progression from antiquity through feudalism to capitalism which could not have taken place elsewhere. In this book, Jack Goody examines this topic.
