Praise for this book
"Roberto Mangabeira Unger's project is breathtaking ... He is writing what may be the most powerful social theory of the second half of the century."--Geoffrey Hawthorn "A philosophical mind out of the Third World turning the tables, to become synoptist and seer of the First."--Perry Anderson "[Unger] does not make moves in any game we know how to play ... [His] book will someday make possible a new national romance ... [It] will help the literate ... citizens of some country to see vistas where before they saw only dangers--see a hitherto undreamt-of national future."--Richard Rorty
