- Summary:
- Did Marx win the Cold War? Napoleoni (economics, the Judge Business School, U. of Cambridge) says yes. She contends that the global economic crisis has damaged the idea of Western democracy as the ideal form of government, and advocates re-evaluating the Western economic and political system in light of the Chinese model of development, which combines capitalism with communism. She asserts that China represents a breeding ground for socioeconomic transformation as well as political ideas, as China distances itself from its postwar totalitarianism.
