The 6 Killer Apps (3/29)

It is no question that Niall Ferguson knows what he's talking about, and I do agree with what he has to say. His 6 killer apps all do make sense for Westernization. And he is right; no matter what other factors you try to average in, it always boils down to those 6. I also agree that, as he said, the Easterners will suprass the west in years to come. And it is because the west has shared these apps that this became possible. All in all, I think his 6 ideas are spot-on, and they are all the reasons why Western culture has been able to make so many large-scale advances in years past. Additionally, all his historical examples made sense and illustrated his point.
