The West Removed: Economics, Democracy, Freedom: A Counter-history of Our Civilization

The seven chapters of this book cover a variety of concepts (liberalism, freedom, Marxism) and classic thinkers (Mill, Marx, Hayek, Popper) in order to disclose several myths we’ve become accustomed to take for granted in the West. It posits that exploration of these myths is crucial for understanding the essence of West or, better, for seeing what has been “removed” from the West as the title of this book alludes to. What emerges is a rigorous and surprising counter-history of our civilization.
