Description
Hardcover, 322 pages, published 2021. Radical change in Western history often begins with ideas that emerge from the fringes. This book explores how ideologies developed outside the mainstream have driven profound changes in politics and social relations. By examining key periods such as the rise of Christianity, Protestant reformations, and the Age of Revolution, David Potter reveals how alternative ideological systems and periods of community distress can create conditions for radical change. The historical disruptions chronicled in this book provide insight into when the preconditions exist for significant shifts in the social and political order. By understanding these dynamics, readers can gain a deeper appreciation for the complex factors that drive change in Western societies.
