Well organized and had some good ideas. I have some issues with touting capitalism as the most progressive “end goal” of countries, but I understand that people who defend a Eurocentric argument are most likely to view that as the ultimate sign of progression and argue in that regard. He introduced and reviewed ideas I already knew and accepted, and did what he promised to do: refute diffusionist ideas. In the conclusion, he states that this book is more of an introduction to the subject and idea, and I'm inclined to agree. The book is a good start to rebutting Eurocentric ideas and brushing on non-Eurocentric views, but I would call it just that: a start.
