Morristown Festival of Books presents: Age of Revolutions: An Evening with Fareed Zakaria

Friday, October 18, 2024 @ 7:30pm



Mayo Performing Arts Center (MPAC)
100 South Street, Morristown, NJ 07960

Join us for our Keynote Event with Fareed Zakaria, host of CNN’s Fareed Zakaria GPS, journalist, and author. Zakaria will discuss his New York Times best seller, AGE OF REVOLUTIONS: Progress and Backlash from 1600 to the Present.

How can history’s revolutions help us better understand today’s challenges? In his major new work, Zakaria explores the pivotal revolutions that have shaped world history—from the economic revolution of the seventeenth-century Dutch Golden Age to the Industrial Revolution in nineteenth-century Britain and America—and examines how the current revolutions in globalization, technology, identity, and geopolitics can provide lessons to overcome all challenges.

About the Author

Fareed Zakaria is the host of CNN’s flagship international affairs show, Fareed Zakaria GPS, as well as a weekly columnist for the Washington Post. He is the author of four New York Times best sellers, including Ten Lessons for a Post-Pandemic World.
