Krátky popis
Winner of the Estoril Global Issues Distinguished Book Prize 2013
In 1412, Europe was a miserable backwater ravaged by plague, bad
sanitation and incessant war, while the Orient was home to dazzling
civilizations. Yet, somehow, the West came to dominate the Rest for
most of the next half millennium. In this vital, brilliant book,
Niall Ferguson reveals the six 'killer applications' that the Rest
lacked: competition, science, property rights, medicine,
consumerism and the work ethic. And he asks: do we still have these
winning tools? Or is this the end of Western ascendancy?
'Brilliantly written, full of wit and virtuosity, stuffed with
memorable lines and gorgeous bits of information. A great read' The
Times
