Description

Book Synopsis
According to current deabtes, 'individualization' has frequently been proposed as the conceptual counterpart to 'globalization'. It has often seemed that nothing would be left once these processes have fully unfolded, other than individual human atoms dispersed on a globe without any political, economic or cultural structures.

Trade Review
"A slightly eccentric, but very enjoyable, account of globalization."
Australian Journal of Political Science

"We might wonder whether anything new remains to be said on globalization. Reading Rüdiger Safranski's account of the issue, it becomes immediately obvious, maybe surprisingly, that the answer can be highly affirmative."
Peter Wagner, European University Institute and University of Warwick
