Publisher : With the collapse of Soviet hegemony and Eastern bloc communism, the ascendancy of the image of the good society — achieved under capitalism — appears unassailable. But is it? Under market economies around the world, contemporary environmental problems are creating a major economic crisis of supply, putting into serious question the legitimacy of the capitalist system.
