I do not completely agree with Niall Ferguson. I do agree that a few of these "apps" are major factors for the Great Diversion, such as competition and the Scientific Revolution, but I do not believe that the Great Diversion can be merely based on these six factors. I believe that competition and the Scientific Revolution were major factors because the motivation behind each was to simply see who could innovate better. However, including the other apps, there would definitely have to be more factors as to why the Great Diversion occurred.
