The twentieth century was the century of the triumph of Western civilization. What will our descendants say about the 21st century? Modern futurologists predict the further development of scientific and technological progress led by Western civilization. Can this development really take place as long as it wants, and it is not at all influenced by the ethnosocial processes taking place in the rest of our planet? Is Western civilization able to cope with the serious problems facing it? Will it flourish further or has it already passed its golden age? If you are interested in such questions, then this book is for you.
