The 6 killer apps of prosperity...The 6 killer apps of prosperity... Over the past few centuries, Western cultures have been very good at creating general prosperity for themselves. Historian Niall Ferguson asks: Why the West, and less so the rest? He suggests half a dozen big ideas from Western culture — call them the 6 killer apps — that promote wealth, stability and innovation. And in this new century, he says, these apps are all shareable. History is a curious thing, and Niall Ferguson investigates not only what happened but why. 20m20s [String on the Catholica Forum where the general issue of wealth inequality and this documentary was first discussed 20May12] | [WATCH THE VIDEO]
