Age of Revolutions: Progress and Backlash from 1600 to the Present
Age of Revolutions: Progress and Backlash from 1600 to the Present
In this major new work, Fareed Zakaria masterfully investigates eras that have shattered and shaped humanity. Three such periods hold profound lessons for today. First, in the seventeenth-century Netherlands, a series of transformations made that tiny land the richest in the world--and created modern politics as we know it today. Next, the French Revolution, an explosive era that devoured its ideological children and left a bloody legacy that haunts us to this day. Finally, the mother of all revolutions, the Industrial Revolution, which catapulted Great Britain and the US to global dominance and created the modern world. Against these paradigm-shifting historical eras, Zakaria describes our current situation, unpacking the four revolutions we are living through now: in globalization, technology, identity, and geopolitics.
As few public intellectuals can, Zakaria combines intellectual range, deep historical insight, and uncanny prescience to once again reframe and illuminate a turbulent present.
