"Capitalism first appeared in Europe," school textbooks proclaim.
But what if things were actually different? What if capitalism originated not in the West at all, but in another part of the world—for example, in Asia?

That's exactly what happened, argues one of the most prominent economists of the 20th century, Andre Gunder Frank. Back in the 1970s, he demonstrated that the real, not mythical, birthplace of capitalism was not Europe, but China. In the 19th century, Asia only temporarily lost its status as the world's hegemon, but is now rapidly regaining it.

How will this change the world? And what was it like before European falsifiers of history forced it to revolve around themselves?
