Description

The Great Enrichment stands as one of humanity's pivotal moments, igniting in Europe during the 17th to 19th centuries, prompting countless attempts to decipher its origins. Today, Dr. Salter will delve into his latest collaborative work with Professor Andrew Young, titled "The Medieval Constitution of Liberty: Political Foundations of Liberalism in the West." In this book, they argue that Western exceptionalism traces back to the intricate and fragmented political systems of Medieval Europe. These structures, they assert, provided the fertile ground for effective governance, which in turn spurred the generation of wealth.
