Ask HN: Book Recommendations on Western Civilizations

I perceive it as a common belief that western civilizations are more successful, for their own definition of success, due to some intrinsic features that they possess, which others don't. I am of the opinion that countries end up where they are mostly by happenstance. Are there any books about these ideas that you might recommend?
