The main plot of our time is dictated by the course of the global crisis. “National History as a Social Contract” is a collection of small chapters subordinated to the main problem of our time. The “end of history” did not happen, history returns. The unipolar world, the world of global economics, interest rates and cultural hegemony, is falling apart. Liberal society is on the verge of losing its ideology. The meaning of the concepts “democracy”, “law”, “morality”, “European values” will soon be determined by everyone for themselves. What consensus will unite the world in a new era? What role will Christian values and social justice play in this consensus? The book examines the political and ideological “forks” that will determine the future of Russia and the world community.
