Shortly after the events of 1789, Burke wrote a pamphlet, a book that influenced history, "Reflections on the Revolution in France". Sir Ralf Dahrendorf has written a pamphlet that performs the same function, and which will provoke argument and debate. He warns of the dangers that proceed from the collapse of socialist systems/theories can no longer govern the world - they have proved to be disastrous. The author also wrote "Marx in Perspective", "Class and Class Conflict", "The New Liberty", "On Britain" and "Law and Order".
