Not just politically charged, ideologically charged.
Reference to US declaration of independence leading to US superstate, but no mention of it's role in spreading the concept of individual rights worldwide. Reference to "the Wealth of Nations" in negative context, whereas Emmanuel Kant in positive context and in particular, Malthus with his since-demonstrated-to-be-glaring-absurdity in a positive light, complete with an excuse as to why it is still not invalid.
It's an interesting thing, but it would be better if that sort of personal bias were left out of something attempting to be a canonical summary of the history of humankind.
