Harry Shutt argues our world is coming under threat from forces that the
ruling elite is increasingly unable to control. Our present economic
system is inherently unstable and heading not just for recession, but
very serious breakdown. And US domination of international politics
cannot last in an age where democracy and respect for human rights are
demanded and where marginalisation of most of the world's people is no
longer acceptable. This book gives us a trenchant mix of powerful
critique and concrete hope. The author exposes the fantasies at the
heart of today's market capitalism and counterfeit democracy.
Here is a message of hope, a contribution to a new political agenda, and
the intellectual ideas to support it.
