This book traces the development of agriculture, commerce, and the arts throughout history, arguing that these are the sources of all human prosperity. The author, an 18th-century Enlightenment thinker, believed that civilization brought about the domestication of animals, the rise of property rights, and the birth of commerce. Crucially, those processes went hand in hand with the development of new technologies, leading to greater abundance and more leisure time. Engagement with the ideas presented in this book will yield a deeper understanding of the fundamental forces responsible for shaping human societies.
