Stephen Haseler describes the tensions caused in the west by the emergence of super-rich capitalism, which, if not balanced by a renewal of the state and community, will destroy politics, governance and democracy. He shows how the EU and other super-states can combat this excess of globalization.

Stephen Haseler describes the growing tensions caused throughout the west by the triumphant new global capitalism. He outlines how a new global super-rich caste has emerged during a period in which the traditional middle class is facing serious insecurity and income loss. He argues that this new super-rich capitalism, if not balanced by a renewal of the state and community, will not only destroy politics and governance, but democracy as well, and he shows how the European Union, and other embryonic regional super-states, can combat these excesses of globalisation, and restore a more social-democratic society.

the rest of us

a world without democracy

the hope of Europe.
