Fareed Zakaria on Age of Revolutions (Ep. 208)
Fareed Zakaria on his book Age of Revolutions and the recurring pattern of revolutionary change across centuries. Revolutions in technology, economics, and politics follow similar patterns — and understanding the pattern helps navigate the current one.
Canon
•
Zakaria: studying past revolutions (Dutch, American, French, Industrial) reveals patterns that recur in the current technological revolution. History doesn't repeat but it rhymes — and the rhymes are learnable.
•
Zakaria: in an attention economy that rewards simplicity, the courage to present nuanced arguments is itself a form of intellectual resistance.
