Age Of Revolutions
A New York Times BestsellerThe international bestselling author explores the revolutions, past and present, that define the chaotic, polarized and unstable age in which we live. Fareed Zakaria first warned of the threat of "illiberal democracy" two decades ago. Now comes Age of Revolutions Progress and Backlash from 1600 to the Present. A decade in the making, the book is based on deep research and conversations with world leaders from Emmanuel Macron to Lee Kuan Yew. In it Zakaria sets our era of populist chaos into the sweep of history. Age of Revolutions tells the story of progress and backlash, of the rise of classical liberalism and of the many periods of rage and counterrevolution that followed seismic change.

Lasting change comes bottomup, like the Industrial Revolution in Britain and the United States, which fueled the rise of the worlds modern superpowers and gave birth to the political divides we know today. Even as Britain and America boomed, technology unsettled society and caused backlash from machinesmashing Luddites and others who felt... | Fareed Zakaria Age of Revolutions : Progress & Backlash from 1600 to the
