| Summary, etc | "This is the indispensable book for understanding the world today. Fareed Zakaria tackles the central question of our age: What are the causes of the seismic social disruptions we are going through and the political backlashes that have ensued? Connecting five centuries of history to a deep understanding of our current anxieties, he shows how revolutions in technology, economics, and politics interact. We are living through one of the most revolutionary ages in history, and the resulring disruptions have led to a clash between those who celebrate the transformations that come from open markets and technology versus those who resist them. This has scrambled our traditional politics of left versus right and produced a showdown between populist nationalism and liberal democracy, To deal with the resentments and anxieties produced by revolutionary changes, Zakaria argues that we must infuse our journcy with moral meaning and restore a sense of pride in the ideals of freedom, individual rights, and democracy. The result in both a fascinating look at history and an inspiring vision for the future' |
