Written by two leading social theorists, the book discusses the thesis that the fall of communism has decimated alternative conceptions of social organizations other than capitalism.
- Analyzes the implications of the fall of communism on social theory
- Discusses alternative ideas of social organizations other than capitalism, in the wake of the collapse of communism
- Covers state/civil society, globalization, the future of “modernity,” and post-socialism
