This collection of a hundred book reviews, from Sham Lal’s well known literary column ‘Life and Letters’, gives a vivid idea of how leading social scientists diagnose the ills of modernity. While going into the reasons which led to the collapse of all communist regimes, representing one side of the modernity project, it also explains why the triumphalism of liberalism will have a false ring so long as most poor societies are ruled by despots of various stripes and face insuperable difficulties in making even a moderately successful transition to a market economy.
