John Gray, globalisation and Hayek

Those who are interested in what globalisation brings to this world and like John Gray's "False Dawn" may want to read his review of Thomas Friedman's "The World Is Flat: A Brief History of the Twenty-first Century" (The New York Review of Books, 11/8/05).

Nowadays, Gray wants to be known as "Professor of European Thought at the London School of Economics. Among his books are False Dawn: The Delusions of Global Capitalism, Straw Dogs: Thoughts on Humans and Other Animals, and Al Qaeda and What It Means to Be Modern. (August 2005)". But he once was a classical liberal and had written many books on classical liberalism and Hayek in the 80s and 90s (you may want to read his "F. A. Hayek and the Rebirth of Classical Liberalism" from the Liberty Fund).

But he has changed. Or, in Daniel Klein's words, he has migrated ("The Ways of John Gray: A Libertalian Commentary").
