This classic of economic and social historiography constitutes the best historical synthesis ever written on the evolution of humanity from the agricultural revolution to the present day. Carlo M. Cipolla, professor of Economic History at the universities of Pavia and Berkeley, describes the major trends that the world population has followed in its demographic development and in its use of available economic resources, analyzing from a global perspective the main problems currently facing humanity: demographic growth, the scarcity of available energy resources, the diffusion of technical knowledge, and the role that education must play in the developed societies that emerged from the industrial revolution.
Carlo Maria Cipolla was an Italian economic historian. He was a member of both the American Academy of Arts and Sciences and the American Philosophical Society.
