5.0 out of 5 stars
Amazingly accurate predictions of today's world from 1938.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Social and Cultural Dynamics (Hardcover)
Regardless of your philosophy of history, Dr. Sorokin's analysis of the course of world history, based on exhaustive research, is chillingly accurate. The currents he saw moving through the pre-WW2 days have become torrents today, and we marvel at his ability to detect and analyze them.Despite its academic format the book is compelling and not difficult to read for the interested layman. The reward will be a grand perspective that allows one to see patterns in current events that are typically missed. After reading Sorokin's book, continue with Harold O. J. Brown's 1997 update of Sorokin's theory, "The Sensate Culture: Western Culture Between Chaos and Transformation". |
