Turning his back on neoliberalism at exactly the moment that its advocates were in their pomp, trumpeting 'the end of history' and the supposedly unstoppable spread of liberal values across the globe, Gray's was a lone voice of scepticism. The thinking he criticised here would lead ultimately to the invasion of Iraq. Today, its folly might seem obvious to all, but as this edition of \u003cem\u003eEnlightenment's Wake\u003c\/em\u003e shows, John Gray has been trying to warn us for some fifteen years - the rest of us are only now catching up with him.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eJohn Gray is one of the most internationally renowned and widely read political theorists writing today.
