Description
Chris Harman describes the shape and course of human history as a narrative of ordinary people forming and re-forming complex societies in pursuit of common human goals. Interacting with the forces of technological change as well as the impact of powerful individuals and revolutionary ideas, these societies have engendered events familiar to every schoolchild - from the empires of antiquity to the world wars of the 20th century.
In a bravura conclusion, Chris Harman exposes the reductive complacency of contemporary capitalism, and asks, in a world riven as never before by suffering and inequality, why we imagine that it can - or should - survive much longer. Ambitious, provocative and invigorating, A People's History of the World delivers a vital corrective to traditional history, as well as a powerful sense of the deep currents of humanity which surge beneath the froth of government.

Pretty great
Magnificently scoping and erudite. Covers so much. Loses its way about with its lack of focus for why it’s the people’s history like the original. But tells a wide ranging history nonetheless.

A history for those who don't want to know history
History is not nice and clear cut. It is messy, full of contradictions, missing information. The author has his idea of what is history and makes no effort to verify his basic concept of history. He rejects out of hand sources that disagree with him them accepts the same sources when they do agree with him. There is no discussion of wide ranging research that has been done in the last 50 years. It is like he read only very poor high school history book for research. It was a painful book to listen to. DO NOT GIVE THIS BOOK TO ANYONE AS THEIR FIRST HISTORY BOOK.
