McFaul's thesis? Societies that make truth and freedom their signature values stand the best chance of prospering in the emerging global village. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn \u003ci\u003eThe Future of Truth and Freedom in the Global Village: Modernism and the Challenges of the Twenty-first Century\u003c\/i\u003e, McFaul relates the two cornerstone ideas of truth and freedom to the development of Modernism and its impact on science, religion, ethics, economics, and politics. This sets the stage for thought-provoking speculation as McFaul forecasts what life might be like in the year 2050, with scenarios that range from moving forward as a unified world embracing new possibilities to sliding back to the \"good old days.\" McFaul's well-reasoned conclusion is that any society's long-term viability rests on having the freedom to adapt to changes in the modern world in new and creative ways.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Thomas R.
