在工业革命之前，（按比例来说）几乎没有什么像样的发明。问题在于为什么工业革命花了这么久才到来。如果你对这个话题感兴趣，我强烈推荐《A Farewell to Alms》[0]——提醒一下，书里的假说颇具争议，但它抛出了很多值得思考的有趣话题。0. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Farewell_to_Alms
Nothing much (in percentage terms) got invented until the industrial revolution. The question is why the industrial revolution took so long. If you are interested in this topic I highly recommend A Farewell to Alms [0] - warning controversial hypothesis, but it raises lots of interesting topics to think about. 0. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Farewell_to_Alms
……Mokyr 研究这个概念的时间要长得多，并且一直在通过普林斯顿大学出版社主编一个相当引人入胜的专题系列丛书，收录了他本人、Gregory Clark（加州大学戴维斯分校，《A Farewell to Alms》）、Robert J. Gordon（西北大学，《The Rise and Fall of American Growth》）等人的著作。值得推荐。我一直在研究技术机制的动态演进，目前大致归纳为九类：1. 燃料，……
…Mokyr's been studying the concept for rather longer, and has been editing a rather attractive series through Princeton University Press on the subject, including books by himself, Gregory Clark (UC Davis, A Farewell to Alms), Robert J. Gordon (Northwestern, The Rise and Fall of American Growth), and others. Recommended. I've been looking at the dynamics of technological mechanism, and am settling on roughly nine: 1. Fuels,…

……如果你熟悉科学文献、经济史、群体遗传学等领域，马尔萨斯模型在如今基本算得上是共识。例如看看 Gregory Clark 的《Farewell to Alms》或者 Shennan 的《First Farmers of Europe》。马尔萨斯最大的翻车点在于，他提出观点的时机简直倒霉透顶，恰恰赶上生产能力增长有史以来第一次……
…If you are familiar with scientific literature, with economic history, with population genetics etc, the Malthusian model is pretty much the consensus view these days. See, for example Gregory Clark’s “Farewell to Alms” or Shennan’s “First Farmers of Europe”. The biggest fail of Malthus was that he made his argument at exactly the worst possible time, when the growth in productive capacity has for the first time in…
……针对智力的筛选。这股力量肯定不算太强，否则我们现在全都是冯·诺依曼了。如果你觉得这个话题有意思，Gregory Clark 关于社会流动性的研究非常迷人。可以从《A Farewell to Alms》或《The Son Also Rises》开始读起。
