interestingly i guess printed books only came about like 500 years ago and were commodified with the rise of capitalism and consumerism... 
what does that tell us about 'money = power'?

lolwut said: History is written by the winners of the wars, and wars are won by power, which is gained by money and domination. Best way to get money is to take someone else's. Money = Power. The more wars you win the more money you get the more power you get the more history books you get to burn and rewrite in your favour.

I disagree with everything you just said. At least it rhymed though.

Yea, losers of wars do in fact write history books. Sometimes people take cliche phrases and extrapolate them too far.

"why is intellectual history dominated by whites and Jews?" It isnt, only relatively recently has it been, the middle ages IMO pretty drastically refute any idea of some intrinsic superiority of europeans.

Don't get me started on Obama.

redgreenvines said: "whites and jews"??? weird what did you want a comment on the brainless definition of a subset of humanity that is being pointed at or the racist question which at best is a conspiracy based brain fart.
How is "whites and jews" a brainless definition? Jews are people that descend from jewish people. Whites are people that look pale, caucasians. Seems pretty easy to determine who is and is not these things- regardless of the exact boundries.
Seems like you are pissed off, like icelander suggested, because you don't like the implications you draw from the quesion. This type of sensitivity doesn't seem very helpful or becoming.
As for the question: I would imagine its a mix of cultural exchange and economics. Europe had technological advancements that allowed for greater wealth, therefore greater trade, and so forth in a positive feedback loop. They also lacked the tropical illnesses and isolation that people in the middle of asia might have had.
More wealth equals more ability to dick around with science or speculative advancements.
As for why they had better economic situation, I'd guess its due to lack of tropical diseases, ready access to waters (little arid regions), soil and weather suitable for growing crops and animals to hunt, lots of coastlines and situated close to both africa and the middle east.
