The crisis of Communism at the end of the 1980s was hailed as a triumph for Western capitalism. But Communism's subsequent collapse also marked the breakdown of the superpower competition and cooperation that had existed since the end of the Second World War. Robert Skidelsky analyses the economic and social crises that are emerging as a result of that breakdown and questions what kind of world order can now follow. The World after Communism is an important and timely book in which Skidelsky lucidly applies himself to reinvigorating our political, cultural and ethical language in order to meet the challenges facing Europe in the 1990s and beyond.
