<br/><br/>  "In this take-no-prisoners analysis, [the author] frames the moral f ailures of the modern world in terms of the epoch-making events of the first decade of this century. What he finds is the old one-two punch of history: the jab of tragedy, the righthook of farce. In the attacks of 9/11 and the global credit crunch, liberalism died twice: as a politic al doctrine and as an economic theory"--P. [4] of cover.
