The New Silk Roads: The Present and Future of the World

From the best-selling author of The Silk Roads comes a new, timely, and visionary audiobook about the dramatic and profound changes our world is undergoing right now amp;mdash; as seen from the perspective of the rising powers of the East.

"All roads used to lead to Rome. Now they lead to Beijing." So argues Peter Frankopan in this revelatory audiobook.

In the age of Brexit and Trump, the West is buffeted by the tides of isolationism and fragmentation. Yet to the East, this is a moment of optimism as a new network of relationships takes shape along the ancient trade routes.

In The New Silk Roads, Peter Frankopan takes us on an eye-opening journey through the region, from China's breathtaking infrastructure investments to the flood of trade deals among Central Asian republics to the growing rapprochement between Turkey and Russia. This important audiobook asks us to put aside our preconceptions and see the world from a new amp;mdash; and ultimately hopeful amp;mdash; perspective.
