It wasn't the assertion that people are important to human history i was questioning, but the delimitation of the western world.
And now that I've wrapped up The Professor and the Madman, I think I'll take you up on that and check out Empire of Wealth when I've got a free moment, though now I'd also like to read the similarly titled Empire of Words, also on the OED.
