A chapter in The Church on Capitalism, 2010, pp 1-3 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract In November 1989, while the Church of England’s General Synod sat in Church House, London, Rostropovich played Bach suites in the rubble of the Berlin Wall. Its fall marked the symbolic end of the Cold War — Fukuyama’s ‘end of history’ — and the discrediting of communism as a reasonable political alternative to capitalism. The collapse of credit in the financial markets in 2007/8 similarly toppled the assumption of capitalism triumphant, triggering a global recession. These events frame a period during which capitalism reigned largely unchallenged.
