Summary:  "In his book Time to Start Thinking, Financial Times chief US columnist Edward Luce charted the course of America's relative decline, proving to be a prescient voice on our current social and political turmoil. Here, Luce makes a larger statement about the weakening of western hegemony and the crisis of liberal democracyof which Donald Trump and his European counterparts are not the cause, but a terrifying symptom. Luce argues that we are on a menacing trajectory brought about by ignorance of what it took to build the West, arrogance towards societys economic losers, and complacency about our system's durability, attitudes that have been emerging since the fall of the Berlin Wall. Unless the West can rekindle an economy that produces gains for the majority of its people, its political liberties may be doomed. The West's faith in history teaches us to take democracy for granted. Reality tells us something troublingly different. Luce offers a detailed projection of the consequences of the Trump administration, the rise of European populism, and a forward-thinking analysis of what those who believe in enlightenment values must do to defend them from the multiple onslaughts they face in the coming years."--Provided by publisher.
