Twenty Twenty One Vision: Glassbook

The attacks on September 11, 2001, shook the rich West out of its complacency; suddenly, peace seemed to be in peril. Already it had become clear that prosperity was endangered. What will the twenty-first century be like now? Bill Emmott, the Editor in Chief of The Economist, the world's leading current affairs weekly, answers these questions by looking back at the past, isolating the forces that have shaped our world, and showing how they determine whether we are at peace or at war, in a state of liberty or repression, in a period of prosperity or depression. Set in a global framework, Emmott's analysis of two centuries--one just past, one beginning--is eye-opening, wise, and indispensible.
