More about the book

The book explores the parallels between historical and contemporary societal shifts, particularly the migration from rural to urban life as industrialization spreads globally. It highlights the emergence of new powers and intensified rivalries over resources, suggesting that the real danger of the twenty-first century lies not in cultural clashes but in repeating past mistakes. Daniel Cohen argues that prosperity has often been accompanied by violence, using Europe's history as a backdrop to question what the future holds for rapidly Westernizing nations.
