Summary
Who formed the first literate society? Who invented our modern ideas of democracy and free market capitalism? The Scots. As historian and author Arthur Herman reveals, in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries Scotland made crucial contributions to science, philosophy, literature, education, medicine, commerce, and politics-contributions that have formed and nurtured the modern West ever since. This book is not just about Scotland: it is an exciting account of the origins of the modern world. No one who takes this incredible historical trek will ever view the Scots-or the modern West-in the same way again.

The author gives a very biased account of history. The book is more op ed then a view of history

This book was so interesting. I liked it so much, I also bought the paperback version so I can re-read some key parts. As a person with a Scottish grandmother, I was fascinated with the scope of Scottish influence.
