| Summary: | "This volume analyses contemporary capitalism and its crises based on a theory of capitalist evolution known as the social structure of accumulation (SSA) theory. It applies this theory to explain the severe financial and economic crisis that broke out in 2008 and the kind of changes required to resolve it.

The collection includes analyses of the U.S. economy as well as that of several parts of the developing world"--Provided by publisher. |
