Fantastic book. Rob de Wijk gives a very good and clear overview of the driving forces behind the political changes of our time. He helps to understand what currently happening and how cumulative factors internationally can create a revolutionary wave from the base, stirred up by populistic leaders, that can threaten the world and our life we live in, shown from historic perspectives. Although described in perspective to the Netherlands it is seen in an international context and therefore a good read for an international audience as well. A must read!
