Nadav Eyal – författare

An eye-opening examination of nationalism''s spread around the world as the promise of globalism wanes."A well-written and thought-provoking account of the current crisis of globalization. Not everyone will agree with Eyal''s interpretation, but few will remain indifferent." —Yuval Noah Harari, #1 New York Times–bestselling author of SapiensRevolt is an eloquent and provocative challenge to the prevailing wisdom about the rise of nationalism and populism. With a vibrant and informed voice, Nadav Eyal illustrates how modern globalization is not sustainable. He contends that the collapse of the current world order is not so much about the imbalance between technological achievement and social progress or the breakdown of liberal democracy as it is about a passion to upend and destroy power structures that have become hollow, corrupt. or simply unresponsive to urgent needs. Eyal illuminates the benign and malignant forces that have so rapidly transformed our economic, political, and cultural realities, shedding light not only on the economic and cultural revolution that has come to define our time but also on the counterrevolution waged by those it has marginalized and exploited.With a mixture of journalistic narrative, penetrating vignettes, and original analysis, Revolt shows that the left and right have much in common. Eyal tells stories of distressed Pennsylvania coal miners, anarchist communes on the outskirts of Athens, a Japanese town with collapsing fertility rates, neo-Nazis in Germany, and Syrian refugee families whom he accompanied from the shores of Greece to their destination in Germany. Into these reports from the present Eyal weaves lessons from the past, from the opium wars in China to colonialist Haiti to the Marshall Plan. With these historical ties, he shows that the revolts'' roots have always been deep and strong, and that rather than seeing current uprisings as part of a passing phenomenon, we should recognize that revolt is the new status quo.

‘A well-written and thought-provoking account of the current crisis of globalization. Not everyone will agree with Eyal’s interpretation, but few will remain indifferent.’ – Yuval Noah Harari, author of SapiensRevolt is an eloquent and provocative challenge to the prevailing wisdom about the rise of nationalism and populism today. With a vibrant and informed voice, Nadav Eyal illustrates how modern globalization is unsustainable. He contends that the collapse of the current world order is not so much about the imbalance between technological advances and social progress, or the breakdown of liberal democracy, as it is about a passion to upend and destroy power structures that have become hollow, corrupt, or simply unresponsive to urgent needs. Eyal illuminates the forces both benign and malignant that have so rapidly transformed our economic, political, and cultural realities, shedding light not only on the globalized revolution that has come to define our time but also on the counterrevolution waged by those who globalization has marginalized and exploited.With a mixture of journalistic narrative, penetrating vignettes, and original analysis, Revolt shows that within the mainstream the left and right have much in common. Teasing out the connections among distressed Pennsylvania coal miners, anarchists in communes on the outskirts of Athens, neo-Nazis in Germany, and Syrian refugee families whom he accompanied from the shores of Greece to their destination in Germany, Eyal shows how their stories feed our current state of unrest. More than just an analysis of the present, though, Revolt also takes a hard look at lessons from the past, from the Opium Wars in China to colonialist Haiti to the Marshall Plan. With these historical ties, Eyal shows that the roots of revolt have always been deep and strong. The current uprisings are no passing phenomenon – revolt is the new status quo.

Unsere Weltordnung zerfällt – und der renommierte israelische Journalist Nadav Eyal hat einen Namen dafür: Revolte. Nationalismus, Migration, Klimawandel und politische Verwerfungen – in einer scharfsinnigen Analyse erzählt Eyal die Geschichte des 21. Jahrhunderts. Seit Jahren reist er auf den Spuren dieser Entwicklung durch alle Kontinente. Sein Bestseller ist eine große Erzählung über eine bedrohliche neue Welt im Werden.Nadav Eyal reist ins kollabierte Griechenland, spricht mit deutschen Neonazis und Dürre-Opfern in Sri Lanka. Er problematisiert die sinkenden Geburtenraten bei wachsendem Wohlstand und erklärt am Beispiel seines Großvaters und zweier syrischer Jugendlicher den Wandel der Migration. Rund um den Erdball wüten dezentrale, führerlose Aufstände gegen die Idee des Fortschritts – ein breites und kompromissloses Aufbegehren gegen die Globalisierung. Eyals dramatische Gesamtschau macht klar: Wir werden kämpfen müssen, um unsere freiheitlichen Werte zu bewahren.
