An enthralling analysis of the defining social and political events of the twentieth century.
‘An Age of Progress?’ is an advanced examination of major twentieth-century global developments regarding subjects as diverse as violence, capitalism, socialism and communism, imperialism, racism, nationalism, westernization, globalization, international finance, freedom and human rights, physical and mental environmental changes, culture, science, education, religion and social criticism. This momentous study also explores the ways in which the twentieth century made significant progress – and the ways in which it did not.
'‘An Age of Progress?’ is a remarkable book. Readable yet scholarly, balanced yet challenging, expansive yet detailed, the book is a sort of model for the way 'big' history should be written. If you seek insight into the meaning of the twentieth century for the twenty first, you should read this book.' —Marshall Poe, ‘New Books in History’
'Moss has adroitly compressed an enormous amount of information into a relatively brief study… Highly recommended.' —‘Choice’
'Moss's insight is intriguing and powerful… A must read for anyone interested in international affairs and global cooperation.' —Eric R. Jackson, ‘International Journal on World Peace’
