So where is your emperical evidence to justify this statement and assumption:
What unique environmental, population and survival demand existed in the western world that set off the industrial revolution here that did not exist in the middle east/ south east and infact the rest of the world? Europeans didnt immigrate to another country that was industrialized and find out that individualism works better than the collective/ extended family. Where is the emperical evidence for such certainty in this ** belief** of yours?
