E se tudo o que julgávamos saber sobre a história estivesse errado? Niall Ferguson propõe-nos uma nova forma de olhar o mundo: reformulando cada um dos períodos transformadores da história mundial, incluindo aquele em que vivemos, evidencia a existência de um confronto intemporal entre as hierarquias do poder e as redes sociais.

Grande parte da história é hierárquica: trata de papas, imperadores, presidentes, primeiros-ministros e generais. Fala-nos de Estados, exércitos e corporações. É sobre as ordens vindas de cima. Mesmo a história «da base» costuma centrar-se em sindicatos e partidos de trabalhadores. Mas e se isso acontecer simplesmente porque são as hierarquias que criam os arquivos históricos? E se estiverem a escapar-nos redes sociais igualmente poderosas mas menos visíveis, porque menos documentadas, mas que são as verdadeiras fontes de poder e os motores da mudança?
