  • From the bestselling author of The Ascent of Money and The Square and the Tower“A dazzling history of Western ideas.” —The Economist“Mr. Ferguson tells his story with characteristic verve and an eye for the felicitous phrase.” —Wall Street Journal“Written with vitality and verve . . . a tour de force.” —Boston GlobeWestern civilization’s rise to global dominance is the single most important historical phenomenon of the past five centuries.How did the West overtake its Eastern rivals? And has the zenith of Western power now passed? Acclaimed historian Niall Ferguson argues that beginning in the fifteenth century, the West developed six powerful new concepts, or “killer applications”—competition, science, the rule of law, modern medicine, consumerism, and the work ethic—that the Rest lacked, allowing it to surge past all other competitors.Yet now, Ferguson shows how the Rest have downloaded the killer apps the West once monopolized, while the West has literally lost faith in itself. Chronicling the rise and fall of empires alongside clashes (and fusions) of civilizations, Civilization: The West and the Rest recasts world history with force and wit. Boldly argued and teeming with memorable characters, this is Ferguson at his very best.

Civilization & Culture Editorial Review

  • ubuy México

Niall Ferguson’s book, Civilization: The West and the Rest, provides a thought-provoking perspective on the importance of intelligence and reason in moving forward as a society. It offers easy and engaging reading on the history of ideas, helping readers understand where we are now and why. Although some might not accept the premise, Ferguson argues that the truth is the truth, despite postmodernist revisionism. While the book is interesting and offers quick reasons on why the West has been successful for 500 years, some might find the author's views on Christianity and global warming problematic. Nevertheless, the work is well-written, chock full of interesting facts, and a valuable perspective on history.
