Thanh Nguyen-Kim asked this question about Factfulness: Ten Reasons We're Wrong About the World – and Why Things Are Better Than You Think:
Those who have read both books: should I read Guns, Germs and Steel? As GG&S tries to give explanation of how different countries end up having development gap. While Factfulness tries to convince people of how little the gap exists. P/S: GG&S failed when I did fact check, the oldest pottery was found in China, not South America.
Lew I agree with Mr Swenson's comments. I also reinforce his recommendation that GG&S is a must read. Anything by Jared Diamond is well worth your time.…moreI agree with Mr Swenson's comments.
