About the Program
The acclaimed economist and historian argues that western civilization came to dominate the world by developing and using six concepts: competition, science, the rule of law, modern medicine, consumerism and the work ethic. But the more the rest of the world adopts these concepts, the less the West dominates it. Mr. Ferguson discusses the historic power of several Western empires and their inevitable decline with author and cultural critic Susan Jacoby.
