Why The West Rules – For Now

By Ian Morris

Ian Morris's 'Why The West Rules – For Now' challenges narratives of cultural superiority, arguing that global power shifts are driven by measurable social development, not destiny. This episode unpacks how geography and innovation propelled the West's recent, temporary ascendancy, and why history suggests power is always fluid.
