Inhaltsangabe
One hundred years after the outbreak of World War I and the Russian Revolution, none of the problems of the twentieth century devastating wars, economic crises, social inequality, and the threat of dictatorship---have been solved. In fact, they are posed even more sharply today.David North argues against contemporary historians who maintain that the dissolution of the USSR signaled the end of history (Fukuyama}, or the short twentieth century (Hobsbawm).Disputing postmodernism's view that all history is merely subjective narrative, North insists that a thorough materialist knowledge of history is vital for humanity's survival in the twenty-first century.

Aus dem Klappentext
There is a broad agreement among historians that the twentieth century -- as a distinct epoch in politics and culture -- began in August 1914 with the outbreak of World War I. But the question of when the century ended -- or whether it has ended at all -- is the subject of intense controversy. The dispute is not over the formal dating of a 100-year time span. Clearly the 1900s are over and we live in the twenty-first century. And yet, though halfway through the second decade of the new century, our world remains well within the gravitational field of the twentieth. If historians still look back in anger on the last century, it is because mankind is still fighting -- in the spheres of politics, economics, philosophy and even art -- its undecided battles.
