The West - Europe and the USA - has kind of had its way with the
world for a few centuries. Why else does everyone speak English,
listen to hip-hop, and want to buy Mercedes? Starting with the
Enlightenment, Europeans developed big ideas that have increased
opportunities for people around the world and raised standards of
living. But those same ideas have also produced wars, genocide,
colonialism, and the potential for global environmental disaster.
This book describes the origins and legacy of this mixed bag of
ideas which includes everything from democracy and feminism to
those old foes, communism and capitalism. After all, it's a bag
which still shapes how most people on the planet look at things
today. In a natural, funny and engaging style, So, About Modern
Europe... expertly guides readers through the good, the bad and the
indifferent of modern European history, convincingly arguing the
need to 'tip the cap' to the Enlightenment and its influence along
the way.
