Overview: In Civilization: The West and the Rest, Niall Ferguson explores why Western civilization rose to global dominance while other cultures lagged behind. He attributes this rise to six “killer applications”—competition, science, property rights, medicine, the consumer society, and work ethic—that propelled the West ahead of the rest of the world.
Ferguson investigates how these forces shaped empires, economies, and societies, leading to centuries of Western influence. At the same time, he warns that the very advantages that once secured dominance are now being eroded or replicated elsewhere, raising questions about the future balance of global power.
Engaging, provocative, and global in scope, Ferguson’s work challenges readers to consider whether the West’s long-standing ascendancy is nearing its end and what that means for the rest of the world.
