Fareed Zakaria's latest work, Age of Revolutions: Progress and Backlash from 1600 to the Present, has been called "the indispensable book for understanding the world today." In it, he traces five centuries of world history to understand what makes a period revolutionary and how societies respond to such earth-shattering changes.

Join the Institute of Global Politics (IGP) at Columbia SIPA for one of the first book talks since the release of Age of Revolutions, where Fareed Zakaria will be in conversation with former Google CEO and IGP Carnegie Distinguished Fellow, Eric Schmidt. Drawing on deep historical research and personal experiences, they will discuss how to navigate today's unstable and rapidly changing world.
