 Robert Brenner believes that the core of world socio-economic and 

 cultural development lay in (western) Asia and (northern) Africa from 

 the initial invention of agriculture up until 500 B.C.; and that for 

 much of the millennium and a half thereafter the core shifted around, 

 finally passing from China to the Florence-Milan-Dijon-Antwerp-London 

 axis around 1200 A.D. or so.
