It seems that the idea of a capitalistic society and the fact that capitalism is at present the only logical way to structure various social and economical relationships seems obvious enough; yet it cannot be denied that certain alternatives may exist and that capitalism is, after all, the idea created by people and can be, therefore, just as easily demolished by them. Taking a closer look at the ideas which Ian Bremmer communicates in his recent book The end of free market , one must take into account the sad fact that capitalistic structure of society might finally prove less resistant in the competition with the rest of structures than expected. Analyzing the book by Bremmer ad checking its verbosity, one can possibly come to the conclusion whether the humankind will finally be dominated by a less flexible system known as state capitalism or remain within the boundaries of the traditional democratic ideas. According to what Bremmer says, it is the state capitalism that poses the greatest threat to the realm of the capitalistic world. Undermining the very principles of the capitalistic ideas, it is finally going to destroy the fundament of the society as it is today, making markets completing subjected to the power of the state government.

In addition, among the arguments which Bremmer provides in his argument concerning the effects of the possible state capitalism advent, the fact that globalization enhances the above-mentioned process is evident. According to the author, “All that movement across borders will eventually strip nation-states of their power, because governments will never be able to manage the international commercial, political, social, and environmental challenges that globalization creates” 4 . However, the author misses the positive effects of globalization, namely, the significance which globalization has fo
