The book has a tiny amount of rubbing to the bottom of the spine and a corner tip. Otherwise the book is excellent with clean pages. Overall a very good or better copy. A striking dust wrapper design by M Alleyne showing capitalists on a viewing platform watching men fighting each other below really encapsulates the theme of the book being the author's guesses and forecasts for the future. He attempts to answer key questions of the time including whether armies were needed in the future (sadly yes) along with the impact of fascism, communism and randomly witchcraft. . Very Good.
