I bought for $ 9,000 COP (4.5 USD), had paid up to $ 50,000 (25USD). I do not read much history, but it is the best I've read about it. Sometimes the story is like a bunch of facts and details are difficult to synthesize. But Wright masterfully makes beams and columns of a structure that allows us to see where it goes our civilization.
Despite their scientific rigor is nice and easy to read. I bought it at noon and not let go to finish that night. All data are properly referenced. Although I think it lacks a bit of development to his criticism of capitalism.
For a historical perspective of our society and is where we are going feel free to read it.
If you believe that despite the problems humankind is becoming better and have a better quality of life than any other humans in the past, you have to read it!
