How the Scots Invented the Modern World: The True Story of How Western Europe's Poorest Nation Created Our World & Everything in It - Book by Arthur Herman

Name: How the Scots Invented the Modern World: The True Story of How Western Europe's Poorest Nation Created Our World & Everything in It
Author: Arthur Herman

Arthur Herman's book explores how Scotland, despite its poverty in the 18th century, contributed disproportionately to the development of modern Western civilization. The Scots led advancements in philosophy, economics, medicine, and science, through figures like Adam Smith, David Hume, and James Watt. They helped shape the Enlightenment and industrial revolution, influencing global thought and policy. Herman argues that Scotland's intellectual and cultural heritage, especially its emphasis on reason, individualism, and education, laid the foundation for many of the freedoms and advancements enjoyed in the modern world.
