The receding of Western power is speeding up, shaking the ground under our feet. In ‘Westlessness’, Dr Puri vividly demonstrates how in demographic, economic, military and cultural terms, we are hurtling into a far more diverse global future. Many of our certainties about the present, built on centuries of massive Western global impact, are increasingly fragile. Nothing is linear and nothing is predictable. Untold wealth is moving from the West to the East, as nations like India and Indonesia are set to reach new heights of growth and confidence. China continues its ascent to the peak of the economic mountain – but are cracks appearing? BUT will the Western world, (under the aegis of US global military, economic, technological and cultural power) give up its privileged position willingly? Are we ready, professionally and personally, to adapt to a much more diverse global future?
