At a grander level it can be seen in many post-WW2 responses to the failures of science (the atom bomb, the green revolution), Marxist political movements (the Soviet Union, China), or capitalism (the free market, development). Grand claims for "reason" and "rationality" had often led to horrendous consequences.”
