Riassunto

t is a very unusual for a book of ideas both to have an effect on policy makers and catch the popular imagination which THE STATE WE'RE IN triumphantly achieved. THE WORLD WE'RE IN could affect the future of Britain. Questioning whether capitalism is monolithic or reflects the distinct civilisation in which the market economy is embedded, Will Hutton calls for Europe to create a unified countervailing balance to the globally exported American model - a model which accepts a high degree of inequality and social regulation in return for capitalist vitality and is increasingly being interpreted through a fundamentalist prism. Washington may be the new Rome but the world will be a better and safer place if its ambitions are balanced and it is this which makes the single currency so important. The Euro is the sole potential rival to the dollar and THE WORLD WE'RE IN, a powerful analysis of the world market to be published before the British referendum, is as political as it is profound.

(Hutton argues that "if the rest of the world is not careful, our future will be to accept globalisation almost entirely on American conservative terms." He believes that the great tradition of liberalism in the US is in retreat, that "America is the most)

The book skilfully charts its way through the different historical, economic and philosophical approaches to land, law and profit that have defined the European and American traditions, concluding that Europe offers a better "scope within globalisation fo (Jerry Brotton)

a timely and forward-looking book...Hutton's powerful and flawlessly argued assertion is that to opt for dependence upon America is madness' - Independent on Sunday
