When you see the map, it becomes radically apparent just how firmly
Britain was the root of the Industrial revolution. With the lone
exception of Japan, the darkest places on the map are either next to

points of infection. Nowhere, not even Saudi Arabia, has the income
density of Western Europe and North America.
