Opis

This book explores the contradictions within capitalism as well as the reasons why Marxism hasn’t been able to mount a sustained challenge. It analyses both capitalist and Marxist crisis and presents a perspective by which theory and practice might again be united in a period of increasing capitalist globalisation and crisis.
