Books by Emmanuel Todd

You can order Todd’s book here .  Recommended, though with significant caveats, mainly for lack of evidence on some of the key propositions.

That is from Emmanuel Todd, Who is Charlie? , pp.162-163.  Here is my previous post on the book .

I don't buy into the genetic explanations but still I view "family structure which encourages an obsession with education" as very hard to replicate through policy.  Emmanuel Todd's The Causes of Progress has many problems, but it is an under-mined book when it comes to the causes of both liberty and economic growth.
