Review of '50 inventions that shaped the modern economy' on 'Goodreads'
3 stars
Word for word match to the series provided on BBC radio. It does have an index and excellent notes, plus an introduction and afterword, but it hasn't got any diagrams, pictures or timelines. If you've heard the radio series, it's probably not interesting to you. If you haven't, it's a good take on inventions that have impacted the economy.
My favorite - cuneiform.
