Description
Scott L. Montgomery explores the intellectual lineage of four transformative concepts—capitalism, democracy, socialism, and evolution—that fundamentally restructured human society. By tracing their origins from the Enlightenment to the present, the author examines how these frameworks evolved from radical theories into the dominant pillars of modern global civilization.
