Frase del día: El caballero de Beijing puede no ser el Maestro aún. Pero ya no son los aprendices.
El caballero de Beijing puede no ser el Maestro aún. Pero una cosa es cierta: Ellos ya no son los aprendices. --Niall Ferguson-- Excelente historiador y profesor de Harvard. Os recomiendo su artículo sobre China, su evolución y comparación con occidente. http://www.hoover.org/news/daily-report/57441 Algunos puntos a tomar en cuenta son los siguientes, los cuales explican el porqué occidente evoluciono mejor.
• Competition: Europe was politically fragmented, and within each monarchy or republic there were multiple competing corporate entities. • The Scientific Revolution: All the major 17th-century breakthroughs in mathematics, astronomy, physics, chemistry and biology happened in Western Europe. • The rule of law and representative government: This optimal system of social and political order emerged in the English-speaking world, based on property rights and the representation of property owners in elected legislatures. • Modern medicine: All the major 19th- and 20th-century advances in health care, including the control of tropical diseases, were made by Western Europeans and North Americans. • The consumer society: The Industrial Revolution took place where there was both a supply of productivity-enhancing technologies and a demand for more, better and cheaper goods, beginning with cotton garments. • The work ethic: Westerners were the first people in the world to combine more extensive and intensive labor with higher savings rates, permitting sustained capital accumulation.
