I thought this was interesting, this is an audio clip from a book by Thomas Sowell called Conquests and Cultures. He basically outlines how Europe had a geographical advantage over the Western Hemisphere, mostly it was due to trade, navigable waterways, large ships, climate and access to animals such as horses, oxen, sheep and cattle. It reminds me of the book Wealth, Poverty and Politics where Sowell outlines how some nations became wealthy over others.
