SUMMARY:Age of Revolutions: Progress and Backlash from 1600 to the Present with Fareed Zakaria
DESCRIPTION:The CNN host and best-selling author will discuss the revolutions―past and present―that define the polarized and unstable age in which we live. \nPopulist rage\, ideological fracture\, economic and technological shocks\, war\, and an international system studded with catastrophic risk―the early decades of the twenty-first century may be the most revolutionary period in modern history. But it is not the first. Humans have lived\, and thrived\, through more than one great realignment. What are these revolutions\, and how can they help us to understand our fraught world? \nFareed Zakaria masterfully investigated the eras and movements that have shaken norms while shaping the modern world. Three such periods hold profound lessons for today. First\, in the seventeenth-century Netherlands\, a fascinating series of transformations made that tiny land the richest in the world—and created 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 today. Finally\, the mother of all revolutions\, the Industrial Revolution\, which catapulted Great Britain and the US to global dominance and created the modern world. \nAlongside these paradigm-shifting historical events\, Zakaria probes four present-day revolutions: globalization\, technology\, identity\, and geopolitics. For all their benefits\, the globalization and technology revolutions have produced profound disruptions and pervasive anxiety and our identity. And increasingly\, identity is the battlefield on which the twenty-first century’s polarized politics are fought. All this is set against a geopolitical revolution as great as the one that catapulted the United States to world power in the late nineteenth century. Now we are entering a world in which the US is no longer the dominant power. As we find ourselves at the nexus of four seismic revolutions\, we can easily imagine a dark future. But Zakaria proves that pessimism is premature. If we act wisely\, the liberal international order can be revived and populism relegated to the ash heap of history. \nSigned copies of Mr. Zakaria’s book will be available for pre-purchase for $20 on October 28\, 2025.
