The crisis of global capitalism: open society endangerde is a 245 page book writen by George Soros in response to asian financial crisis to show that market fundamentalism is a threat to global capitalism. He argues that market fundamentalism ignores collective decision making and social values thus promote worship of individualism which is only concerned about individual success not minding its effect on the society at large. To curb this, Soros sugests the introduction of International central bank that will monitor the banking system of borrowing countries and the use of reflexivity analysis by economics.

The reviewer,Dr Arif, commenced the review of the book by bringing author's aim of writing the book '...in the realisation that market fundametalism is a threat to global capitalism". After bringing the point on which the author premises his arguement as enumerated above, he then raises a number of issues about the book as follows:
(1) Self contradiction: The reviewer noted that the author contradicts self in a number of ways to the extent of personality contradiction which the author himself realised but resulted to self justification where he noted ....
(2) Challange of the rationality axiom on which the morden economics rest
(3) Challenge of the virality of libral democracy as practise by the west to be able to the proposed reform
(4) Feasibility of the proposed international central bank as to its acceptability in the south.
The reviewer is not however, just to criticise the book as seen in his agreement with the author on the issue of democracy "...that goverment lacks the political will to change the rule of the game due to influence of the pressure group". He then notes that the book should be seen as a reinforcement to "The feture of capitalism: how Today's Economics Forces Shape Tomorrow" by Lester Throw. Arif then concludes his review by suggesting area of further discourse.
