Os autores procuram neste livro demonstrar a importância das ideias no mundo em que vivemos. Expõem as ideias definidoras do mundo moderno juntamente com os pensadores que mais contribuíram para as desenvolver, a saber: Adam Smith e o capitalismo; Karl Marx e o socialismo; Darwin e a teoria da evolução e, por fim, James Madison e Alexander Hamilton e a democracia liberal. Na segunda parte do livro, os autores descrevem as várias reacções a estas ideias, desde a resistência à democracia em vários países ao radicalismo islâmico. Recomendado
