Niall Ferguson's pithy, digestible polemic on the decline of the West

The Great Degeneration is a powerful - and in places polemical - indictment of an era of negligence and complacency. While the Arab world struggles to adopt democracy, and while China struggles to move from economic liberalization to the rule of law, Europeans and Americans alike are frittering away the institutional inheritance of centuries. To arrest the degeneration of the West's once dominant civilization, Ferguson warns, will take heroic leadership and radical reform.

This book is based on Niall Ferguson's BBC Radio 4 Reith Lectures 2012, which were broadcast under the title The Rule of Law and Its Enemies.
