  The controversial thesis expounded by the American academic, Francis Fukuyama - that the dramatic upheavals in the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe, and other recent events, herald the end of history - has sparked an international debate. Are the driving forces of ideology and belief going to be subsumed into a global economic consensus based on Western liberal capitalism? In this book, 20 historians from Britain, America, Europe and India discuss whether, in the 1990s, Marxism (and possibly other -isms ) retain any validity as tools of analysis for the progress of history. They explore the question of how the narrative is to be organized in future, and how we will come to understand change.
