【Like New, with Obi】"World History of Freedom and Democracy" - In Search of the Lost Modernity (Complete 2 Volumes) by Tetsuo Kawa-higashi 1. From Origins: Greece and Rome to the Formation of Europe 2. The Industrial Revolution and the Construction of Modernity, and Beyond Now is the time to re-examine "modernity," as it has begun a fierce "reverse rotation." A former diplomat depicts "living" world history! With economic stagnation, increasing inequality, the information age, and the "Trump" phenomenon occurring in parallel, the fundamental values of "freedom and democracy" are on the verge of collapse. This work freely depicts world history from ancient times, questioning the process of realizing "modernity" and its meaning. We will use recycled materials.
