Description
Weighed down by economic woes, the seemingly endless war on terror, and the declining power of religion as a unifying force, the West has been limping along. With the public sphere fraying and authoritarian politics rising, this crisis is now urgent, and potentially fatal. How did we get here? The author's diagnosis is simple: The West is a myth, and it is dying. The book explores what the West is, what has happened to it, and how we might save it
