If in the year 1411 you had been able to circumnavigate the globe, you would have been most impressed by the dazzling civilizations of the Orient. The Forbidden City was under construction in Ming Beijing; in the Near East, the Ottomans were closing in on Constantinople. By contrast, England would have struck you as a miserable backwater ravaged by plague, bad sanitation and incessant war. The other quarrelsome kingdoms of Western Europe - Aragon, Castile, France, Portugal and Scotland - would have seemed little better. As for fifteenth-century North America, it was an anarchic wilderness compared with the realms of the Aztecs and Incas. The idea that the West would come to dominate the Rest for most of the next half millennium would have struck you as wildly fanciful. And yet it happened. What was it about the civilization of Western Europe that allowed it to trump the outwardly superior empires of the Orient? The answer, Niall Ferguson argues, was that the West developed six 'killer applications' that the Rest lacked: competition, science, democracy, medicine, consumerism and the work ethic. The key question today is whether or not the West has lost its monopoly on these six things. If so, Ferguson warns, we may be living through the end of Western ascendancy. Civilization takes readers on their own extraordinary journey around the world - from the Grand Canal at Nanjing to the Topkapi Palace in Istanbul; from Machu Picchu in the Andes to Shark Island, Namibia; from the proud towers of Prague to the secret churches of Wenzhou. It is the story of sailboats, missiles, land deeds, vaccines, blue jeans and Chinese Bibles. It is the defining narrative of modern world history.

因为是土摩托推荐的，才去找来看看 当时吸引我的是杀手级应用， 看了书以后，真的是这样吗？ 6个都是杀手级应用就让东西方文明主导位置发生了质变？ 以500年时间为轴，您总可以找出3个5个10个的？ 人的基因演变这么复杂，人类社会。文明就用这么6个关键词说清楚？ 就算找出关键...
評分 評分 評分2011年很显然是Niall Ferguson的一年，抛下英国去了米国并且娶了索马里小三的历史学哥们，终于在力挺中国经济的7，8年后成为了最主流的经济史学家。Civilization是一本Ferguson回归西方的书，主要的观点在于六大杀手软件：医学，私有制，竞争，科学，消费力，以及道德水平。这...
評分六个杀手锏，六个主题，呈现出文明的决定因素，决定着未来文明所属。 1：竞争：集权的中国与竞争的欧洲 2：科学：欧洲科学如何超越阿拉伯世界 3：财产权：新世界与自由 4：医学：医学如何保障欧洲崛起与扩张 5：消费：消费社会的诞生 6：新教伦理：享受时光与中国的耶路撒冷 ...
用戶評價
在Ferguson的言下之意裏，中國已經具備瞭競爭、科技、現代醫學、工作倫理、財産權、消費社會全部六個西方文明領先的特質，在工作倫理方麵已然超過許多發達國傢，唯一所見的對與當代中國的擔憂在於政治上的非競爭性。看多中國並以此激勵西方並批評奧巴馬，實在與中國右派共知如齣一轍
评分Blikist掃過。不算新鮮的六大元素主導瞭西方這幾個世紀來的主導地位：競爭精神（地緣政治導緻的日常戰火催生裝備升級&資本主義）、科學實證原則（read bible on your own led a rise in literacy&printing)、representative gov based on property rights&rule of law,當代醫學、消費主義、清教徒思想:work hard&save money. 沒有特彆新鮮的概念，有幾條感覺是為瞭湊字數，比如當代醫學完全可以歸入科學中去。其實核心就是地緣政治和第三條，然而這恰恰是華人文化無法照搬的。
评分曆史學的太好容易學成大仙或者中國人民的老朋友...不過叔文筆是真好
评分曆史分析方法值得藉鑒，但是對於中國的分析和西方文明的崛起總結過於程式化。
评分企鵝平裝版。基本上是把先賢們已有的結論炒個冷飯，裏邊繞過瞭Democracy而直接以Property代之還是蠻有意思的。
