A sweeping account of the glories and declines behind Western politics, military power, and economy over the past three centuries. 一次说透三个世纪以来，西方世界政治、军事、经济背后的辉煌与凋零 This book is a work of humanistic thought that weaves together international politics and historical narrative. Over the past three centuries, the Western world rose to dominance across the globe, achieving unparalleled leadership over Asia, Africa, and Latin America in science, technology, economy, and culture-while encouraging the rest of the world to adopt its ways of life and thought. Yet, at the turn of the millennium, faced with economic stagnation and internal political divisions, the West finds itself in decline, much like the Roman Empire of old. In this book, political economist John Rapley and historian Peter Heather draw on the history of the Roman Empire to reinterpret and illuminate the current state of crisis in the West. From a fresh perspective and through unique case studies, they explore the striking similarities and differences between Rome and America, deconstructing the ways in which Western civilization might confront challenges and achieve renewal. At a time of rapidly shifting global dynamics, this book offers invaluable insight for anyone seeking to understand both history and the present moment. 本书是一本将国际政治与历史叙事相结合的人文思想著作。 在过去的三个世纪里，西方世界崛起并主宰了地球，科技、经济、文化全面领先亚非拉诸国，更鼓励世界其他地区追随他们的生活方式和思想。然而，在千年之交，面对经济停滞和内部政治分裂，西方世界发现自己开始衰落，像极了当年的罗马帝国。 在本书中，政治经济学家约翰-拉普利和历史学家彼得-希瑟利用罗马帝国的历史重新思考和演绎当代西方的危机状态，从新奇的角度，用独特的案例分析探讨了罗马和美国不可思议的相似之处和差异，解构了西方文明如何迎接挑战，获得新生的思路。在世界局势风云变幻的当下，本书对于普通人了解历史和当前的局势具有重大的参考价值。
