The Third World CenturyUniversity Press of America, 1994 - 168 strani This book theorizes that the basic civilizational pillars of family, community, tradition and faith are severely eroding in the industrial/technological West. This has caused Western civilization itself to enter a period of fragmentation and decline. In The Third World Century, Charles Goodwin assesses the present aspect and ambiance of western civilization with an eye to its prospects. The author also evaluates those civilizational forces emerging on the periphery as the weakening of the West's fundamental societal pillars allows them to gather momentum from their bases in the Third World.
