We also seem to doubt the value of much of what developed in Europe after the reformation. Capitalist competition has been disgraced by the recent financial crisis and the rampant greed of the bankers. Science is studied by to few of our children at school and university. Private property rights are repeatedly violated by governments that seem to have an insatiable appetite for taxing our incomes and our wealth and wasting a large portion of the proceeds. Empire has become a dirty word, despite the benefits conferred on the rest of the world by the European Imperialists. All we risk being left with are a vacuous consumer society and a culture of relativism - a culture that says any theory or opinion, no matter how outlandish, is just as good as whatever it was we used to believe in. Niall Ferguson youve done it again.
