The Ideas That Conquered The World: Peace, Democracy, And Free Markets In The Twenty-first Century
Autor Michael Mandelbaumen Limba Engleză Paperback – 7 ian 2004
At
the
dawn
of
the
twenty-first
century,
three
ideas
dominate
the
world:
peace
as
the
preferred
basis
for
relations
between
and
among
different
countries,
democracy
as
the
optimal
way
to
organize
political
life,
and
free
markets
as
the
indispensable
vehicle
for
the
creation
of
wealth.
While
not
practiced
everywhere,
these
ideas
have--for
the
first
time
in
history--no
serious
rivals.
And
although
the
terrorist
attacks
of
September
11,
2001,
were
terrible
and
traumatic,
they
did
not
"change
everything,"
as
so
many
commentators
have
asserted.
Instead,
these
events
served
to
illuminate
even
more
brightly
the
world
that
emerged
from
the
end
of
the
Cold
War.
InThe
Ideas
That
Conquered
the
World,Michael
Mandelbaum
describes
the
uneven
spread
(over
the
past
two
centuries)
of
peace,
democracy,
and
free
markets
from
the
wealthy
and
powerful
countries
of
the
world's
core,
where
they
originated,
to
the
weaker
and
poorer
countries
of
its
periphery.
And
he
assesses
the
prospects
for
these
ideas
in
the
years
to
come,
giving
particular
attention
to
the
United
States,
which
bears
the
greatest
responsibility
for
protecting
and
promoting
them,
and
to
Russia,
China,
and
the
Middle
East,
in
which
they
are
not
well
established
and
where
their
fate
will
affect
the
rest
of
the
world.
