Civilization - Niall Ferguson
Description
Civilization: The West and the Rest by Niall Ferguson
In Civilization: The West and the Rest, Niall Ferguson asks one big, uncomfortable question: why did the West dominate the world for so long—and is that dominance ending? With sharp historical insight, he traces how Western civilization surged ahead through a unique set of institutions, ideas, and habits, and how those same advantages are now being challenged by the rest of the world.
This is a bold, accessible history that connects past power to present geopolitics—and forces readers to rethink progress, decline, and the future of global influence. Buy in Kenya with fast delivery from Readers’ Republik.
