About the Book

For the past thirty years, Guy Sorman has been travelling across the globe and reporting changes taking place with a keen eye for all that is new rather than that which is immutable. Unlike other observers, Sorman is interested in underlying trends rather than current events; his writings are based on his personal observations, travels and meetings with a wide cross - section of people. Running counter to the general belief, he is convinced, inspite of all the crises, conflicts and human tragedies, that the human lot is improving: an increasing number of men and women are living longer in greater freedom and with more hope than ever before in history.And so, in his new book, a sequel to his Wonderful World, dictators fall like ninepins, new peoples begin to make their voice heard, continents escape the menace of hunger and lethal ideologies are on the retreat. Those filled with nostalgia for an eternal France worry about the French identity getting diluted by globalism. Guy Sorman, to the contrary, sees in it a source of enrichment, as one can now be a citizen of France, Europe and the world at the same time and stand shoulder to shoulder with all the other civilizations.In this way, the universalist and progressive dream of the 18th century liberals is slowly coming true, a French tradition to which Guy Sorman has faithfully adhered in the twenty books he has written among which are The Liberal Solution, Freedom on Bail: The Real Thinkers of the Twentieth Century, The Year of the Rooster, The Genius of India, America in Pursuit of Happiness and Economics Does not Lie. "One of the most probing and honest minds among commentators on the politics, economy and social concerns of our time. Sorman's writing invariably cast(s) a constructive critical glance at the world at the start of the 21st century." Thomas Bishop, Director, Center for French Civilisation and Culture; Florence Gould Professor of French Literature, New York University.
