Subject: Incremental changes in natural phenomena cannot be shown from the historical record to have exerted important effects on human affairs. The punctuation of history by different rates and patterns of natural disasters may have an as-yet-unacknowledged place in the explanations of economic change. The study of these events is not only a branch of natural science; it is also a branch of economic science, and involves appraising response and adaption as well as the natural event itself.
