Why the West Rules For Now by Ian Morris

Why the West Rules For Now by Ian Morris is a sweeping comparison of East and West across thousands of years of history.

The book asks why the West has dominated the modern world, and whether that dominance is a recent and temporary pattern in a much longer story of shifting leadership between East and West. Drawing on archaeology and history, it traces the deep patterns behind the rise and fall of civilisations.

Key themes explored include:

• East and West across thousands of years
• Why the West leads the modern world
• Geography, history and the patterns of dominance
• A long view of civilisational rise and fall

Who should read this book: Readers interested in world history, the rise of the West and big-picture historical patterns.
