Opis

If there is one thing that both Left and Right sides of political economic debate over the world economic phenomenon of globalization agree upon it is that globalization reflects the increasingly unfettered spread of capitalism (the 'market') throughout the world. This book provides an analysis of capitalism's world historic phases of development, a critique of the globalization literature and a re-examination of Marxian debates over the rise of capitalism.
