About this book

In one of the most widely hailed books of recent years, Robert L. Heilbroner has set forth a powerful and brilliantly written analysis of the forces at work in the modern world and where they are taking us. Clear, convincing, and comprehensive, Heilbroner's view illuminates every headline-making event of our complex times: the impact of the Bomb, the drift away from capitalism, the challenge of communism, the need for social planning, the wrath of the underdeveloped nations, the possibilities before America. It is must reading for everyone who cares about what is happening to America and to humanity.
