{"product_id":"suicide-of-the-west-richard-koch-9780826490230","title":"Suicide of the West","description":"One hundred years ago, most Westerners felt tremendous pride and confidence in their civilisation. They knew what it stood for, and they believed in it. Today that sense has gone. That is largely because the six principal ideas which underpinned Western confidence - those of Christianity, optimism, science, economic growth, liberalism and individualism - have suffered a century of sustained attack. These ideas no longer inspire or unite the West as they once did.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe contributors to \u003cem\u003eSuicide of the West\u003c\/em\u003e believe that, in theory, a more sophisticated synthesis of the six ideas could provide a way for the West to recover its nerve and integrity. But in practice? This fascinating book seeks to find the answer.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Richard Koch, Chris Smith\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0826490239\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780826490230\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bloomsbury Publishing PLC\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/26\/2006\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 208\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.71lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.88h x 6.36w x 0.84d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eReference and Research Bk News\u003c\/i\u003e 05\/01\/2008 pg. 35","brand":"Richard Koch","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43947380277503,"sku":"9780826490230","price":61.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_1e9920e5-9436-43ef-b15c-6e788b2cba53.jpg?v=1681518381","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/suicide-of-the-west-richard-koch-9780826490230","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
