Hello my fellow members of BookTalk. Let me start by introducing myself. My name is David, and I am a new member to BookTalk. The reason I joined is because i am take a rigorous social studies class (World History AP) and i thought maybe coming here would help me.

Guns, Germs, and Steel is a very good book but sadly, (at my level of education as a 9th grader) there are some parts in the book that i dont understand. I.E too complex.

There are a few questions about the book and i was wondering if i could get some answers.

When comparing the United States and China, why do Diamond's theories not work? What takes account for the economic difference between these great nations?
