Filled with unforgettable stories of emperors, generals, and religious patriarchs, as well as fascinating glimpses into the life of the ordinary citizen, Lost to the West reveals how much we owe to the Byzantine Empire that was the equal of any in its achievements, appetites, and enduring legacy. For more than a millennium, Byzantium reigned as the glittering seat of Christian civilization. When Europe fell into the Dark Ages, Byzantium held fast against Muslim expansion, keeping Christianity alive. Streams of wealth flowed into Constantinople, making possible unprecedented wonders of art and architecture. And the emperors who ruled Byzantium enacted a saga of political intrigue and conquest as astonishing as anything in recorded history. Lost to the West is replete with stories of assassination, mass mutilation and execution, sexual scheming, ruthless grasping for power, and clashing armies that soaked battlefields with the blood of slain warriors numbering in the tens of thousands.

A bold account of the decline of the West's economic supremacy and radical solutions to reverse the drift. Bestselling author Dambisa Moyo gives a fresh insider's perspective on the erosion of Western power over the past 50 years. She examines how the West's flawed financial decisions and blinkered political and military choices have resulted in an economic and geopolitical seesaw that is now poised to favour the emerging world. Moyo is uniquely positioned to examine the West's errors and the techniques the emerging countries used to rise on the global economic stage: As a former economist and banker she gives a new perspective on the dramatic shifts in the global economy Her "Wall Street" vantage point captures the nuances of what role the financial sector had in the decline of Western power Her world view as someone neither from the West nor from any of the emerging countries produces an unbiased, non-Western analysis Moyo daringly claims that the West can no longer afford to regard the up-and-comers simply as menacing gatecrashers and proposes radical solutions it needs to adopt in order to reassert itself as a global economic power.
