Civilization
Niall Ferguson investigates the six "killer applications" of Western civilization—competition, science, rule of law, medicine, consumerism, and work ethic—that propelled its global dominance for centuries. He argues that the West's unique innovations allowed it to outpace rivals, but now these very applications are being adopted by the East, while the West appears to be losing its self-belief. This sweeping historical analysis explores the dynamic interplay between civilizations, offering a provocative perspective on the past, present, and future of global power.
