Durante los últimos siglos, las culturas occidentales han sido muy buenas creando una prosperidad general para sí mismas. El historiador Niall Ferguson pregunta: ¿Por qué Occidente y no el resto? Él sugiere algunas grandes ideas de la cultura occidental -llamadas las seis aplicaciones asesinas- que promocionan el bienestar, la estabilidad y la innovación. Y en este nuevo siglo, dice, es posible compartir todas estas aplicaciones.

History is a curious thing, and Niall Ferguson investigates not only what happened but why. (Hint: Politics and money explain a lot.) Full bio »
