Ending the Crisis of Capitalism or Ending Capitalism?

With his usual verve and sharpness Samir Amin, renowned radical economist, explores the systemic crisis of capitalism leading to the 2008 financial collapse, lays bare the relationship between dominating oligopolies and the globalisation of the world economy and analyses the attempts by the threatened plutocracies of the US, Europe and Japan to impose domination on the peoples of the South through intensifying military intervention. The current crisis, he argues, is a profound crisis of the capitalist system itself, bringing foreward an era in which wars, and perhaps revolutions, will once again shake the world. Amin presents an altenative strategy for the way forward which, by building on advances made by progressive forces in Latin America, would allow for a more humane societyu through both the North and the South working together.
