Multiple Modernities by Shmuel N. Eisenstadt PDF Summary

Book Description: How may we characterize contemporary society in a world so complex? Can looking at the diverse paths followed by various cultures in the modern world generate useful new social scientific typologies, or must a different set of questions be posed in this era of globalization?
