Debating the end of history

the long version

"Why the global marketplace doesn't - and can't - provide the utopian world it promises. "David W. Noble explains that modern people assume there will be perpetual economic growth because such a utopian conviction is the necessary foundation for bourgeois culture. Noble exposes the cost of the segregation of the physical sciences from the humanities and social sciences, while demonstrating the required movement of the humanities toward the ecological vision of a single, interconnected world."-- Publisher description.
