Abstract :The book presents an in depth-analysis of the root causes for Europe’s world domination in the modern era, by putting energy at the center. The book is not only a book of economic history and development which sees the main difference between pre-industrial organic economies and modern economies as the utilization of different types of energy carriers, but it is also an anthropological study about bringing ‘power to the people’. The main research questions of the study can be summarized as follows: ‘Is energy a driver of economic growth?’, ‘What forces led to the energy transitions?’, and ‘How economic energy efficiency has developed in time and space?’. Although the scope and structure of study is highly impressive, it is not without problems.
