Opis

This major intellectual exploration seeks to deepen our understanding of the way modern capitalism works. The author argues, in particular, that capitalism has always rested in part on the unremunerated labor of women, the non-sustainable extraction of natural resources, and the racist exploitation of the non-European periphery. He explores two fundamental questions: are there really any indications that the global economy is slowly entering a long-term structural crisis? And would any significant disruption open up opportunities for new popular movements to fundamentally challenge it?
