Reviews"As an ideological refresher on what the West got right, Shapiro's book gets the job done." -- The Washington Post Shapiro cavorts through 3,000 years of intellectual history in the span of about 250 pages, offering a perspicuous, "user-friendly" dive into some of our civilization's biggest ideas. -- The Washington Examiner "Ben Shapiro knows the power of his voice. He stands up and fights for what he believes with time-tested ideas. The Right Side of History is thoughtful and well-reasoned - exactly what Shapiro's critics don't want you to hear." -- Nikki Haley, former premanent representative of the U.S. Mission of the United Nations

SynopsisA #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER! Human beings have never had it better than we have it now in the West. So why are we on the verge of throwing it all away? In 2016, New York Times bestselling author Ben Shapiro spoke at the University of California-Berkeley. Hundreds of police officers were required to protect his speech. What was so frightening about Shapiro? He came to argue that Western civilization is in the midst of a crisis of purpose and ideas; that we have let grievances replace our sense of community and political expediency limit our individual rights; that we are teaching our kids that their emotions matter more than rational debate; and that the only meaning in life is arbitrary and subjective. As a society, we are forgetting that almost everything great that has ever happened in history happened because of people who believed in both Judeo-Christian values and in the Greek-born power of reason. In The Right Side of History , Shapiro sprints through more than 3,500 years, dozens of philosophers, and the thicket of modern politics to show how our freedoms are built upon the twin notions that every human being is made in God's image and that human beings were created with reason capable of exploring God's world. We can thank these values for the birth of science, the dream of progress, human rights, prosperity, peace, and artistic beauty. Jerusalem and Athens built America, ended slavery, defeated the Nazis and the Communists, lifted billions from poverty, and gave billions more spiritual purpose. Yet we are in the process of abandoning Judeo-Christian values and Greek natural law, watching our civilization collapse into age-old tribalism, individualistic hedonism, and moral subjectivism. We believe we can satisfy ourselves with intersectionality, scientific materialism, progressive politics, authoritarian governance, or nationalistic solidarity. We can't. The West is special, and in The Right Side of History , Ben Shapiro bravely explains how we have lost sight of the moral purpose that drives each of us to be better, the sacred duty to work together for the greater good, ., Human beings have never had it better than we have it now in the West.

Western culture explained clearly.
A very insightful perspective on the basics and formation of the western culture. Ben tells all in an easy to understand narative. While I disagreed with one of his thoughts near the end of the book, I learned a great deal more from this book and enjoyed it.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Neu

Ben Shapiro's Book
This is a great read for liberals and conservatives. His thought processes and ability to make his case are incredibly briiiliant. Those on the other side need to engage him with sensible, factual dialogue and not hysteria. Trying to shout him down is not the way to defend a position.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Neu

Shapiro
Shapiro writes well. He is frequently working from a false premise as it relates to his conclusion. But it is important to get his perspective if you are a true liberal. He makes you think.. For conservatives? I'm not sure this book has any real value.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Gebraucht
