I don't agree with this article at all. It's the wrong lens. Warm climates may have more resources, but the wealth concentration is somewhat artificial; nor that cold climates had difficulties in centralizing power. Instead, the simpler and more accurate narrative is that cold climate countries are more resource starved, therefore have more incentive to plunder the resource-rich nations. The easiest nations to plunder are the technically lagging nations. And what lead to a technology-savvy culture in the recent past? War, with the occasional dose of peace.
