'A dense narrative and a wealth of examples' Literary
Review'Reid-Henry narrates this story with elegance and gusto'
Washington Post'[Reid-Henry] conveys an important message:
Individual political action must become accountable to society's
interests' Kirkus'Reid-Henry's scholarship is impressive, gathering
a wide range of historical anecdotes and referencing a diverse set
of thinkers' Publishers Weekly The first panoramic history of the
Western world from the 1970s to the present day: Empire of
Democracy is the story for those asking how we got to where we are.
In this epic narrative of the events that have shaped our own
times, Simon Reid-Henry shows how liberal democracy, and Western
history with it, was profoundly re-imagined when the postwar Golden
Age ended. As the institutions of liberal rule were reinvented, a
new generation of politicians emerged: Thatcher, Reagan,
Mitterrand, Kohl.The late twentieth-century heyday they oversaw
carried the Western democracies triumphantly to victory in the C
old War and into the economic boom of the 1990s. But equally it led
them into the fiasco of Iraq, to the high drama of the financial
crisis in 2007/8, and ultimately to the anti-liberal surge of our
own times. The present crisis of liberalism enjoins us to revisit
these as yet unscripted decades.The era we have all been living
through is closing out, democracy is turning on its axis once
again. As this panoramic history poignantly reminds us, the choices
we make going forward require us first to come to terms with where
we have been.

Niekedy máme v živote jednoducho smolu. Niekedy sa dostaneme do
prúseru, ani nevieme ako. Ale niekedy si za všetko, čo sa deje,
môžeme sami.
