Synopsis
The decisive event of the late twentieth century has been the collapse of communism and the perceived triumph of capitalism. Written by authors from the First, former Second, and Third Worlds, this book reveals the characteristics and flaws of the late capitalist order.The authors explore the societal polarisation produced by globalisation, the crisis of Western ideology, and the soft financial underbelly of globalisation that could well bring us to an economic collapse. The perspective of this provocative book goes beyond those of the traditional left and the relativist, anti-historical school of postmodernism to offer an entirely fresh view of the world order., A critical view of globalisation which analyses the devastating impact of neoliberalism in the post-communist world, Western capitalism has come of age and opposition to it has entered a period of decline. Those who hold the power enjoy such great wealth that the rest of the world's population is plunged into misery and poverty. This study falls into three parts: in the first, the authors look at how this situation has come about; in the second, they each look at how globalization has affected the US, the former USSR and the Third World. In the last section, they propose a way forward.
