Synopsis

Human beings have never had it better than we have it now in the West. So why are we on the verge of throwing it all away? Ben Shapiro argues that Western civilization faces a crisis of purpose, where grievances overshadow community and emotions outweigh rational debate. He traces 3,500 years of history and philosophy to reveal how our freedoms stem from Judeo-Christian values and Greek reason. This book explains how these foundational ideas led to science, progress, human rights, and prosperity.
