As absorbing, as memorable and as well written as Mr Diamond's remarkable bestseller. It deserves to be as widely read. Clark amasses an extraordinary collection of historical data to explain why the Industrial Revolution was born in western Europe.

He arguments hinge on extensive archival research on the wills of medieval Englishmen. A Farewell to Alms asks the right questions, and it is full of fascinating details. And suggests that much of the world's remaining poverty is semi-permanent. This is a bold attempt at explaining why some countries are richer than others.

Clark's idea-rich book may just prove to be the next blockbuster in economics. He offers us a daring story of the economic foundations of good institutions and the climb out of recurring poverty. We may not have cracked the mystery of human progress, but A Farewell to Alms brings us closer than before.

We may not have cracked the mystery of human progress, but A Farewell to Alms brings us closer than before. Right or wrong, or perhaps somewhere in between, Clark's is about as stimulating an account of world economic history as one is likely to find. Let's hope that the human traits to which he attributes economic progress are acquired, not genetic, and that the countries that grow in population over the next 50 years turn out to be good at imparting them. Alternatively, we can simply hope he's wrong.
