Guns, Germs, and Steel

Today in class we watched a video of Jared Diamond explaining inequality with his "guns, germs, and steel" theory. Jared Diamond has spent most of his life trying to figure out Ali's question of why white men and people outside of Papua New Guinea have so much money and the people on the island have close to none. He talked about how the people of New Guinea were visited by Europeans and they immediately took advantage of the native people's lack of knowledge of the outside world.
