The Future of Capitalism and Globalization
in the Age of the Twin Crises
Marc De Vos
HARDBACK
Former Prime Minister of Belgium, Guy Verhofstadt, doesn’t think China or even the United States can solve the financial crisis. He argues that only Europe can save the world.
As we stumble from fear of a depression to faint signs of recovery, many dread a ‘w’ shaped, or double-dip, recession.
Others want to know what caused the melt-down. And everyone is looking for ways to prevent a repeat of the collapse in the future.
This book answers these questions, and proposes a unique way of lifting us all out of the economic doldrums.

It’s 1949. The pound had been devalued by 30%, clothes were off rationing for the first time in eight years, and the USSR had tested its atomic bomb.
In North London, a well-to-do Jewish couple were brutally murdered in their home. Shocking enough, but for the following 88 days, the whole nation would be gripped by the bizarre twists and turns of what happened next.
