How the West’s promise of freedom created a world of anger

In an upcoming episode of "Deja Vu," author Pankaj Mishra explores the origins of contemporary political anger. Mishra argues that the roots of this anger can be traced back to the Enlightenment era and the subsequent period of empire. The episode will examine how the Western promise of freedom, as espoused during these historical periods, has contributed to the current global landscape of discontent. The focus will be on understanding the historical forces and ideas that have shaped present-day political sentiments.
