The Future of World Capitalism

 The Future of World Capitalism books offer a fresh look at the key issues in world history. Superficial and discredited theories, dominating classrooms and bookshops for three decades, transparently failed to anticipate or even explain the present crisis. Classical discussions, inspired by the rich lessons of history, have been sidelined along with new and critical thinking. Both are essential to understand world capitalism and where it is now headed. Neglected concepts from political economy – property, class, nation, exploitation, imperialism, and inequality – once again command attention, along with themes of gender, ethnicity, and economic democracy, and new threats of environmental and military destruction. This challenging new series aims to equip a new generation with an integrated understanding of the current stage of world development.
