Title: Top notch
Review: This book will give almost everyone something to think about. It explodes several myths that have become part the air that we in the early twenty-first century breathe. Most jarring and probably most important to the modern reader is the myth that the "dark ages" were a time of oppressive poverty in both economic and intellectual terms. Not true. The author gives many examples of technological and business advances that occurred during this period including the rise of capitalism in virtually its modern form. He chronicles the rising living standards of almost the entire population.In addition he endeavors to give a reasonably rigorous definition of capitalism, something that is almost never done even by its most ardent defenders.
