Making of the World

Born and raised in a traditional society-Bangladesh, educated in his home country and the United Kingdom, and now living in Canada, Mahbub Khan views his life experience as anthropological fieldwork on social transformation. He witnessed, in the country of his birth, rapid population growth, diversification of the economy, strengthening of the state, and shift in social values and people's ideological orientation-the phenomena that also happened in early civilizations. This experience led him to study academic literature for over a decade out of a passion for understanding the process of social evolution. Now retired, Mahbub Khan lives in Toronto, Ontario, Canada.
