The West legitimises its global dominance by the claim to be a rational, democratic, science-based and progressive civilisation. Yet, over the past decades, the dogma of economic rationality has become an ideological black hole whose gravitational pull allows no public debate or policy to escape. Political leaders of all creeds are held in its orbit and public language is saturated by it. This dogma has pervaded all spheres of life, ushering the age of post-rationality, especially in English speaking countries. The authors discuss several aspects of post-rational global capitalism still dominated by the Anglosphere: hyper-competition, hyper-consumption, inequality, volatile global financial markets, environmental degradation and the unforeseen effects of the internet-mediated communication revolution. The book concludes by discussing some utopian and dystopian future scenarios and asking whether the West can transcend its crisis of rationality. 000824210 588__ $$aVendor-supplied metadata. 000824210 650_0 $$aRational expectations (Economic theory)$$y21st century. 000824210 650_0 $$aEconomics$$y21st century. 000824210 7001_ $$aFlitney, Adrian,$$eauthor. 000824210 77608 $$iPrint version: $$z9789811062582 000824210 852__ $$bebk 000824210 85640 $$3SpringerLink$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-981-10-6259-9$$zOnline Access$$91397441.1 000824210 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:824210$$pGLOBAL_SET 000824210 980__ $$aEBOOK 000824210 980__ $$aBIB 000824210 982__ $$aEbook 000824210 983__ $$aOnline 000824210 994__ $$a92$$bISE
