Bosco- Thought you might like this fascinating historical account (IMO). Daniel Boorstein, in his popular history "The Discoverers" makes some of the same points.

As an enticement, here's a lead paragraph:

<<For most of the last several thousand years, it would have seemed far likelier that Chinese or Indians, not Europeans, would dominate the world by the year 2000, and that America and Australia would be settled by Chinese rather than by the inhabitants of a backward island called Britain. The reversal of fortunes of East and West strikes me as the biggest news story of the millennium, and one of its most unexpected as well.>>
