The first thing that bursts upon the eye when you take the book “Turbo-Capitalism: Winners and Losers in the Global Economy” is its front cover that suggests the quotation from the book review by ‘Business Week’: “Luttwak’s work is a rigorous critique of a system that he believes will either evolve or collapse from its excesses …. The best thing about his books, whether you agree with him or not, is the agile, independent intellect at work with them. It makes him among other things, a superb social critic” (Luttwak, 2000, unpaged). Thus, there is no denying the fact that the book by this prominent historian, international strategist, and consultant suggests nontrivial theory that is, certainly, worth consideration. As it may be judged by the title of the book already, the work is devoted to the theory of “turbo capitalism”. Consequently, the thesis of the book may be formulated in the following way: human society should beware of the present state of capitalism, turbo-capitalism, which can bring very harmful results of its existence that will be very difficult to overcome because the feature of turbo-capitalism is that it is uncontrolled and, what is more, uncontrollable. It should be stated that E. Luttwak defines the following features that are peculiar for turbo capitalism: deregulation and privatization, globalization. What he also stresses is the absolute and unquestionable victory of the computer that is unquestionable supporter of turbo-capitalism; the author eagerly devotes the whole chapter to it (Luttwak, 2000, p. 44). The retreat of the state is also typical of the economical and social system of turbo-capitalism. Finally, the strongest and the most evident feature of it that the author distinguishes is unhampered dominance of American model. As it has been mentioned above already, the author makes assumptions about the possible consequences of turbo-capitalism, defining them as the rise of inequality, the increase of poverty and crime. As the evidence for his theory, the scientist sets the example of “the Microsoft Mirage” (Luttwak, 2000, pp. 76-91). The main argument that may be observed in this section is that unemployment is caused by the limitedness of demand for employees in high-tech sector of industry. Illustrating his ideas, the theorist resorts to authoritative supporters, for instance he compares the new Titans of the Information Age, such as Sun Microsystems, Amgen, Cirrus, Intuit, etc. (Luttwak, 2000, p. 76) and the old ones: “General Motors, Ford, Boeing, Dupont and Kodak” (Luttwak, 2000, p. 76). The main criterion of the comparison is unemployment and stock market valuation. However, one peculiarity should be mentioned here: it seems that the author has chosen unsuitable basis for the comparison, very short time period that covers only 1990s. As for the prescription for a better America, the author states that certain changes should be made in American tax system to make it more progressive and redistributive. Free trade is also considered as evil power by Luttwak, who asserts that it impoverishes workers. Deregulation is also a weak point that is very harmful for American society. As for the examples from media sources that would ref
