Beschreibung
Nobel laureate Robert Fogels compelling new study examines health, nutrition and technology over the last three centuries and beyond. Chronic malnutrition is one reason why people in the past had smaller, weaker bodies and lived shorter lives than people do today. When better agriculture began to produce more food, people began to get bigger, healthier and to live longer. This process has contributed to economic growth and technological progress. Professor Fogels powerful study will be essential reading for all those interested in economics, demography, history and health care policy.
