Why is the Western world unique in its double bull's-eye of political liberty and material plenty? How has it managed such an unparalleled achievement? Drawing on key documents and speeches from the last 4000 years, from the diverse fields of politics, law and philosophy, economics and religion, culture and science, this selection explains the remarkable evolution of the West's superior freedoms, wealth and civilization. A work of both reference and reflection, this collection is a reminder of the value of the past that helps to guard the future.
