Civilization: The West and the Rest with Niall Ferguson
The two-part series examines Niall Ferguson's six principles of prosperity: Competition, Science, Modern Medicine, Property, Consumerism, and Work Ethic. For the past five centuries, Western power has prevailed around the world. What led the West to be so influential? And how long will the West sustain its supremacy?

終於看完“在看”兩年多的The Ascent of Money。。。原來他在China: Triumph and Turmoil 的同一年還出了這齣。。。開頭那個Funded by list真是灰常impressive呀。。。

Probably too pretentious an interpretation from the jump.

China: Triumph and Turmoil同年的尼尔·弗格森纪录片作品,讲述中国的崛起,不像是***一贯的冷静朴实,反而给了主持人许多自由发挥的空间。讲述历史,秦始皇的残酷统治模式其实一直延续,儒家思想价值观作为意识形态的推广,和珅的宅子成旅游景点;观察现实,基层政治如何运作,民营***创业,小岗村的突破;专门有一集讲毛崇拜,特别拍了长沙群众。
