Brief description of the lecture:
Between 1500 and 1650, the West rose above the rest of the world and has remained there ever since. What gave rise to modernity has been a fundamental question in the social sciences, from Adam Smith to Karl Marx to Max Weber. What can we say about it today, in the 21st century?
