Weighed down by economic woes, the seemingly endless war on terror, the rise of authoritarian politics and the declining power of religion as a unifying force, the Western crisis is existential and potentially fatal. How did we get here?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBen Ryan's diagnosis is simple: the West has lost its purpose. Its defining ideal—a sense of universal morals, and of constant progress towards them—no longer unites or convinces its own people. Following a series of 'system failures', Westerners—from urban millennials to post-industrial workers— have lost faith in the West as a moral force. Yet there is a chance for redemption: forging a new shared myth of the West, and reviving its great values for a diverse, forward-looking world.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis smart and thoughtful book explores how the West was lost and how we might save it.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"C Hurst \u0026 Co Publishers Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48818703204587,"sku":"00000_00000_00000_00000","price":54.91,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0758\/4484\/5803\/files\/9781787381933-1.jpg?v=1781703680","url":"https:\/\/kinokuniya.com.sg\/ja\/products\/9781787381933","provider":"Books Kinokuniya Singapore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
