Modernity developed only in the West - in Europe and North America. Nowhere else did science and democracy arise; nowhere else was slavery outlawed. Only Westerners invented chimneys, musical scores, telescopes, eyeglasses, pianos, electric lights, aspirin, and soap. The question is, why? Unfortunately, that question has become so politically incorrect that most scholars avoid it. But acclaimed author Rodney Stark provides the answers in this sweeping new look at Western civilization.
How the West Won demonstrates the primacy of uniquely Western ideas - among them the belief in free will, the commitment to the pursuit of knowledge, the notion that the universe functions according to rational rules that can be discovered, and the emphasis on human freedom and secure property rights. How the West Won displays Stark’s gifts for lively narrative history and making the latest scholarship accessible to all. This bold, insightful book will force you to rethink your understanding of the West and the birth of modernity - and to recognize that Western civilization really has set itself apart from other cultures.

From wiki “Stark’s publisher Intercollegiate Studies Institute, Inc. (or ISI), is a nonprofit educational organization that promotes conservative thought on college campuses”. Say no more

A bit too dismissive of opposing ideas and to trash the Roman period, whose law and hierarchy his much vaunted Christianity is based upon, is rather an odd position to take.

Yes, say no more on why this subject can’t be discussed. It triggers PTSD in the precious little cupcakes to hear anything other than the totally reasonable “all cultures are equal” line.
I’ve put your participation trophy over there kid –>

This is mostly a political piece with a very narrow perspective. It tries to assert authority in a subject that is, and always will be, speculative. If you are interested mainly in history then you will be disappointed.

Great uploads! Too much “junk” fiction on this site… they cloud the Sun of “non fiction” items. So… Thank You for letting the Sun of Knowledge shine. Happy Holidays mate!
