Historian Niall Ferguson presents a six-episode documentary series from 2012 examining how Western civilization rose to global dominance over the past five centuries. Ferguson argues that six key “killer applications”-including competition, scientific inquiry, and democratic systems-drove this ascendancy. Through vivid historical comparisons and profiles of lesser-known figures, from a Chinese admiral who sailed to East Africa in the 1400s to a German economist influenced by the 1904 St. Louis World’s Fair, Ferguson traces the ideas and mechanisms that shaped the modern world.

This BBC DVD contains one disc with the complete series. Ferguson’s bold, debatable arguments are presented with sharp editing and striking historical imagery, making centuries-old events feel immediate and engaging. A used copy from us lets you explore these provocative historical perspectives without the new price.
