سقوط الغرب | كيف فقدوا صوابهم حقاً

Almost everywhere these days, we hear talk of the decline of the West. Our jobs, our values, our past are all under attack, and in the face of it we are drowning in self-loathing and vulnerable to it: the West needs to be made great again. We know where this toxic narrative comes from: from the nationalist right. Now this narrative has become mainstream. The truth is that the West is in decline, and this is self-evident. But the truth is that it was not immigrants, Muslims, or crowds of social awareness that brought the West to the brink of disaster, but rather old arrogance. In this poignant new book, Owen Jones explores how, amid the triumphal euphoria that accompanied the collapse of the Soviet Union, the West believed its rule, economic system and moral values ​​would last forever, and how this fragile self-mythologizing narrative collapsed over a quarter of a century. From Afghanistan and Iraq, to ​​the economic crisis of 2008 and Gaza today, the writer takes us on a journey that shows how the West went from achieving what it thought was its final victory, to sinking into an existential crisis of its own making. And how, in the process, he crafted an ugly new narrative: that this is the fault of the most vulnerable sections of society, rather than a power-hungry and corrupt ruling class. Today, as the Atlantic Alliance struggles to hold itself together, The Fall of the West by Jones-owen reveals how a generation of Western elites, driven to power and self-enrichment at all costs, has catastrophically overstepped their bounds, and argues that if we Finding solutions to the era of crises in which we live, we must first understand the real reasons behind the West’s loss.
