As the century turns 21, five essayists offer their personal appraisals and advice. Niall Ferguson gives a historian's view of lessons from previous centuries in a wry take on the past 800 years. "I've invited seven of your big brothers and sisters - from the twentieth century all the way back to the fourteenth - to give you some fraternal or sororal advice".
Niall Ferguson is the Milbank Family Senior Fellow at the Hoover Institution at Stanford University.
