How six innovative systems set the West apart and changed the course of history.
In 1412, Europe was a miserable wasteland, plagued by plague, unsanitary conditions, and constant warfare, while the East was the center of civilization. But for the second half of the millennium, the West dominated the rest of the world.
In his groundbreaking book, Neil Ferguson explores six innovative systems that set the West apart: competition, science, property rights, medicine, consumer protection, and the work ethic.
The author asks: are we still taking advantage of these advantages? Is the end of Western dominance already here?
