A brilliant analysis of the global financial crisis by one of the world's leading social thinkers
Bauman applies his highly original and influential theory of liquid modernity to shed new light on the origins of the global financial crisis, showing that the mushrooming of credit and debt is a predictable outcome of the transition from the society of producers to the society of consumers
This book also addresses many other current and pressing issues, from international terrorism and the rise of fundamentalism to the threats posed by global warming
This very topical and political book will be of interest to a wide range of general readers
