In the 21st century, the capitalist system has little more to offer than a menu of despair: pandemics, deepening inequality, worsening depression, out-of-control climate change, growing authoritarianism and intensifying militarism. This book offers a wide-ranging analysis of the origins, implications and scope of the "combined" crises of 2020 and beyond. It makes a compelling case that Karl Marx's critical analysis of capitalism, as well as his program of class-struggle socialism, are essential to understanding and addressing the most important social, economic, and ecological problems of our time.
Industry Reviews
"Over the next few years, we will be treated to many studies addressing the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on global capitalism. It is a great relief that one of the first books to emerge links the present capitalist crisis to the underlying crisis-ridden tendencies of global capitalist economy--providing invaluable empirical and theoretical context along the way, and emphatically reminding us that the problem is nothing other than capitalism itself. The incandescence of this work must illuminate discussions for years to come."
