The West and the Rest with Niall Ferguson

Civilization: The West and the Rest is a two‑part PBS documentary presented by Niall Ferguson. He argues that from the 15th century the West developed six “killer applications” — competition, science, the rule of law, modern medicine, consumerism and the work ethic — that powered Western dominance. The series traces that rise and asks whether the Rest’s adoption of these innovations signals the end of Western predominance.
