Description

The book provides a theoretically and historically informed analysis of the global economic crisis.

It makes original contributions to theories of value, of crisis and of the state and uses these to develop a rich empirical study of the changing character of capitalism in the twentieth century and beyond. It defends, uses and develops Marxist theory while arguing particularly against jumping too quickly from abstract concepts to a concrete understanding of the crisis. Instead, it uses what Marx described in his notebooks as an 'obvious' analytical ordering to progress from a general analysis of economy and society to a discussion of recent economic transformations and the specifics of the crisis and its aftermath.Dunn argues that appropriately reconceived, a critical Marxism can incorporate and enrich rather than rejecting insights from other traditions. He disputes general characterisations of capitalism to the crisis and theories which see finance and the contemporary financial crises as largely detached from other aspects of the economy and society.

Providing a thoroughly socialised and historically based account, this book will be vital reading for students and scholars of political economy, international political economy, Marxism, sociology, geography and development studies.

Reviews

"The strength of Dunn's book is that it presents a lucid theoretical ap praisal of the global capitalist sys tem that depicts its crisis-proneness, and explains the causative factors of the 2007-2008 financial crisis in the world's capitalist order while affirm ing the geographical mobility of capi tal in search of higher profit margins. In addition, the book is a scholarly contribution to the raging discourse on the political economy of the glo balization of capitalism by the U.S. and the affluent countries of Europe and its implications for the rest of the world."

John Olushola Magbadelo, 2019

The shipping was just superior

The shipping was just superior; not even one of the books was in contact with the shipping box -anywhere-, not even a corner or the bottom, so all the books arrived in perfect condition. The international shipping took around 2 weeks, so pretty great too.

Found a hard to get book…

Finding a hard to get book on Booksplease and with it not being an over inflated price was great. Ordering was really easy with updates on despatch. The book was packaged well and in great condition. I will certainly use them again.
