In the midst of the current financial crisis, John Gray revisits his brilliant polemic against the forces of global capitalism and deregulation. Written over ten years ago, False Dawn is a remarkably prescient book, sharply criticising the greed and unsustainable economic practices which have proved to be the seeds of a worldwide recession.

In a substantial new chapter, Gray considers how the economic landscape has shifted in a decade and asks the crucial question: where do we go from here?

Book Hero Magic summarised reviews for this book. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! HOW HAS THIS BEEN REVIEWED?

False Dawn receives praise for its prophetic insights and powerful analysis of global capitalism's instabilities. Nassim Nicholas Taleb and George Soros highlight its foresight and depth, while the Independent notes it predicted ongoing societal challenges, arguing that the hope for a global order based on liberal democracy and free markets is overoptimistic. Andrew Marr concurs, agreeing with Gray's perspective on the precarious direction we are heading.
