Peak Human

"Peak Human" by Johan Norberg is a profound analysis of the golden ages of humanity, characterized by cultural, scientific, and economic flourishing. Norberg examines seven significant civilizations, including ancient Athens, the Roman Republic, and Renaissance Italy, to illuminate their strengths and weaknesses. The book poses the central question of how we can ensure that our current golden age does not come to an end. It is both a tribute to human progress and a poignant warning about the dangers of complacency. Norberg's narrative is both informative and engaging, prompting reflection on the challenges that lie ahead.
