The Laureate of Empire.

JONES, TOBY CRAIG
- Abstract
The article discusses the thought of historian Niall Ferguson in his book "Civilization: The West and the Rest" and his television series "Civilization: Is the West History?" It is said that Ferguson advocates in favor of Western and U.S. imperialism in a triumphal manner while distorting historical facts in an orientalist manner. Topics include the relation between violence and the modern West, financial backing for the television series by wealthy backers, and Ferguson's views regarding the history of Ottoman science.
