A 2002 edition includes a forward that relates the themes of ''False Dawn'' to the September 11, 2001 Attacks and the new US Military Posture that led to the 2003 Invasion Of Iraq . Gray notes how the economic Shock Therapy in Post-Communist nations has resulted in "the resources of the vast Soviet war machine ... sold to the highest bidder ... [including non-state forces that were waging Unconventional War ... as Terrorist networks." 1 Also, the Resource - Scarcity from global Industrialisation is contributing to resource wars and a revival of The Great Game . In chapter one, Gray groups together thinkers such as John Locke and Karl Marx on the basis of striving for an Enlightenment Utopia in which "a diversity of cultures ... {Link without Title} a stage to a universal civilization." Specific efforts to impose a "universal civilization" included Victorian Era England , the Soviet Union and, currently, the US as "the Last Great Power to base its policies on this enlightenment thesis", such as with the Washington Consensus . 2 SEE ALSO FOOTNOTES 1 ''False Dawn: The Delusions of Global Capitalism'', John Gray, p. xv (ISBN 1-86207-530-1, Trade Paperback ) ( Granta Books) 2 ibid., p. 2 |
