Why don't you give exact delivery time?
Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

MoreLong description:
Did the U.S. really "win" the Cold War? Is the fall of Communism only a temporary setback for Marxism, or has the freemarket prevailed, once and for all? In this work, the last ten years are examined by the most important Marxist scholars and journalists.
"After the Fall is without question the best collection of essays about the turbulent multiple crises humanity is facing since the end of the Cold War. Every essay in the book has a grasp on present reality without sentimentality. Yet the essays build from the radical project that hope for a better future is at the center of human progress and reconstruction. The authors will give many people, including those at universities, a chance to rethink what they are learning and where they might go politically and personally." -- Marcus Raskin, Co-founder and Distinguished Fellow, Institute for Policy Studies and Professor, Public Policy Program, George Washington University
"For those who have placed their hope in the 'future of freedom' and search for progressive opportunities in the aftershocks of the 1989 earthquake, pick up After the Fall. There you will find a compilation of important voices on the left offering precious reflections on the last pulsating decade of the twentieth century." -- Micheline Ishay, Associate Professor, Graduate School of International Studies, University of Denver
