#5 If this is his 'best case scenario', I don't want to know what the 'most likely scenario' is.
BTW, Ferguson is the creator of a new TV series airing on one of UK Channel 4 called 'Civilization: Is the West History?' It reviews the last 500 years, why & how Western European ways of life came to dominate the world, and how the rest of the world has finally picked up the skills they had previously rejected. E.g. he mentions how China rejected long distance ocean voyages a century before Columbus, how the printing of books was once illegal in the Ottoman Empire, etc. Excellent stuff. I have been able to watch episodes through a VPN connecting to the London ISP.
