In False Dawn, political philosopher John Gray argues that the attempt to create a global free-market economy—driven by Western, especially Anglo-American, ideals—is not only misguided but also dangerous and doomed to fail.

Gray’s central thesis is that global capitalism is not a natural or inevitable system, but rather a utopian project being artificially imposed on diverse societies with different histories, cultures, and values.
