Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

The concepts of modernity and modernism are among the most controversial and vigorously debated in contemporary philosophy and cultural theory. In this new, muscular intervention, Pollin explores these notions in a fresh and illuminating manner.

Book News Annotation:

It started in January 2000 when Pollin (economics, U. of Massachusetts-Amherst) read a conference paper suggesting that the economic boom of the 1990s was built on very shaky foundations and was not destined to last. That paper has been published a couple of times, and appears here revised, along with five subsequent studies on the same theme.

Review:

The boom years of Bill Clinton's 1990s were not so great after all. (Washington Post)

Review:

Pollin is unambiguous ... persuasive ... original and trenchant. (The Nation)

Review:

Offers valuable lessons for the neophyte and professional economist alike. (Professor Dani Rodrik, Harvard University)

Synopsis:

Whilst Bush adopted Clinton's economic strategy, events since September 11th suggest that much of the rhetoric accompanying those policies will be dropped. Gone will be Clinton's little acted upon concern for welfare and education, to be replaced by public spending focusing on the military.
