BILL EMMOTT: Well, what I'm getting at there is partly a reaction to the sort of writings and commentary of the 1990's when after the fall of communism and the end of the Cold War many people said "Aha, capitalism has triumphed in its great conflict with communism", and that made me think a bit.

 e-conomist -- Guessing the Future (3)
Liberal democracy and capitalism seem to have brought us to a position of unprecedented wealth and freedom, but the benefits are by no means spread evenly and many countries in the world are barely growing economically, and their people still don’t benefit from even modest amenities such as clean drinking water and proper nutrition.
Mr Emmott is also surely right to point to the growing influence of corporate donations in the democratic process, particularly in the United States.
But as I have said in part 2 of this review, at times he is such a convinced sceptic that he runs the risk of monumental complacency, and one can only assume that this is a man who has never had to struggle to put forward unpopular ideas.

Bill Emmott and Bernard Lewis in the spotlight
The threat of messianic Islamic terrorism (nice turn of phrase that) is discussed much throughout the chapter, but I couldn’t escape the uneasy feeling that Emmott regards this as a hiccough in the smooth tide of history, and that it’s import will decline with the passage of time.
