Why the West Rules -- For Now

From the creator

October 21, 2010 - Ian Morris discusses why the western world dominates the planet today and how it came to gain control. He suggests that looking at long-term history can tell us why this happened -- and what might happen next. This talk was presented as part of the Classes Without Quizzes series at Stanford's 2010 Reunion Homecoming.
