Trade review
Offers an entirely new way of analysing political history, as a constant battle between warring elites, which it is hoped will have the impact of Francis Fukuyama's "The End Of History".
Synopsis
We live in an age ruled by merchants. Competition, flexibility and profit are still the common currency, even at a time when Western countries have been driven off a cliff by these very values. But will it always be this way? This title offers a dissection of our predicament and a brilliant piece of history.
