By Dr. Anthony Giddens
Anthony Giddens, Professor at the London School of Economics, argues in his book that we do not live in a post-modern world, but rather that the distinctive characteristics of our major social institutions in the closing period of the twentieth century express the emergence of a period of 'high modernity,' in which prior trends are radicalised rather than undermined. A post-modern social universe may eventually come into being, but this as yet lies 'on the other side' of the forms of social and cultural organization which currently dominate world history.
