The WEIRDest People in the World by Joseph Henrich

The WEIRDest People in the World by Joseph Henrich

Henrich argues that Western populations are genuine psychological outliers — Western, Educated, Industrialised, Rich and Democratic, or WEIRD — and that centuries of specific cultural and religious practices reshaped Western minds in ways that inadvertently enabled modern prosperity and institutions.

Drawing on anthropology, psychology and economic history, the book traces how medieval Church marriage policies dismantled extended kinship networks, producing individualistic, analytically minded populations quite unlike most of human history, and argues this psychological shift helped drive the West's particular economic and scientific trajectory.

A sweeping, ambitious work of cultural and psychological history explaining Western societal peculiarity.
