A prescient book criticising the greed and unsustainable economic practices which have proved to be the seeds of a world-wide recession. It considers how the economic landscape has shifted in a decade, and asks the crucial question: where do we go from here?
In the midst of the current financial crisis, John Gray revisits his brilliant polemic against the forces of global capitalism and deregulation. Written over ten years ago, "False Dawn" is a remarkably prescient book, sharply criticising the greed and unsustainable economic practices which have proved to be the seeds of a world-wide recession. In a substantial new chapter Gray will consider how the economic landscape has shifted in a decade, and ask the crucial question: where do we go from here?
