A smart take on the true meaning of the West, its recent decline,
and our chance to save it. The West is limping along. 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? Ben 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. This smart and
thoughtful book explores how the West was lost and how we might
save it.
