[[File:What Is To Be Done?- A Dialogue on Communism, Capitalism, and the Future of Democracy.jpg|thumb]]
==Book Description==
The fall of the Berlin wall was seen by many as the final triumph of [[liberal]] [[democracy]] over [[communism]]. But now, in the wake of the great financial crisis of 2008 and its aftermath, things look a little different. New questions are arising [[about]] [[capitalism]] and democracy, new [[social]] movements are challenging established institutions and new [[political]] possibilities are emerging. Is democracy an inevitable hostage of capitalism, or can it reinvent itself to meet the challenge of [[globalization]]?
In an exclusive, previously unpublished dialogue, [[Alain]] [[Badiou]], a key [[figure]] of the radical [[left]] and a leading advocate of the [[communist]] [[idea]], and Marcel Gauchet, a major exponent of anti-[[totalitarianism]] and a champion of liberal democracy, confront one [[another]]. Together, they take stock of [[history]], interrogate one anothers views and [[defend]] their respective projects: on the one side, the revival of the communist hypothesis, and on the [[other]], the radical reform of a contested democratic [[model]].
