Book Overview

In Forces of Change, Henry Hobhouse argues provocatively, and most convincingly, that modern history has been shaped less by the actions of human beings than by three natural forces: population growth, food supply, and disease. Examining 500 years of history, Hobhouse observes the relative roles of these forces from the time of the Black Plague to the present day. Invigorating and immediate, his unconventional approach sheds a whole new light on history...

Will change the way you think

This book is an original and fascinating interpretation of world history which explores the precariously balanced triangle of population growth, food supply, and disease. Hobhouse brings an objectivity that throws the history of the last 500 years into an exciting new perspective. His book is deeply researched and heavily footnoted.
