About the book
Joel Mokyr examines how the mindset of progress and innovation emerged in Western Europe between the 17th and 19th centuries, creating the foundations for the industrial revolution. The book argues that ideas about knowledge, technology, and human improvement are not determined solely by economic factors, but by a genuine cultural transformation that valued creativity and experimentation.
