With a vibrant and informed voice, Nadav Eyal illustrates how modern\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eglobalization is not sustainable. He contends that the collapse of the current\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eworld order is not so much about the imbalance between technological\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eachievement and social progress or the breakdown of liberal democracy as it is\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eabout a passion to upend and destroy power structures that have become hollow,\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ecorrupt. or simply unresponsive to urgent needs. Eyal illuminates the benign\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eand malignant forces that have so rapidly transformed our economic, political,\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eand cultural realities, shedding light not only on the economic and cultural\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003erevolution that has come to define our time but also on the counterrevolution\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ewaged by those it has marginalized and exploited.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith a mixture of\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ejournalistic narrative, penetrating vignettes, and original analysis, \u003cem\u003eRevolt\u003c\/em\u003e shows that the left and right have much in common. Eyal tells stories of\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003edistressed Pennsylvania coal miners, anarchist communes on the outskirts of\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAthens, a Japanese town with collapsing fertility rates, neo-Nazis in Germany,\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eand Syrian refugee families whom he accompanied from the shores of Greece to\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003etheir destination in Germany. Into these reports from the present Eyal weaves\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003elessons from the past, from the opium wars in China to colonialist Haiti to the\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMarshall Plan. With these historical ties, he shows that the revolts’ roots have\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ealways been deep and strong, and that rather than seeing current uprisings as part\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eof a passing phenomenon, we should recognize that revolt is the new status quo. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Nadav Eyal","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":51670629351730,"sku":"9780062973351","price":23.19,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0988\/7934\/0850\/files\/9780062973351.jpg?v=1787959442","url":"https:\/\/53rdstreetbooks.com\/products\/revolt-the-worldwide-uprising-against-globalization","provider":"53rd Street Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
