Summary

While many around the globe are increasingly wondering if another world is indeed possible, few are mapping out potential avenues-and flagging wrong turns-en route to a post-capitalist future. In this groundbreaking analysis of the financial meltdown, renowned radical political economists Albo, Gindin, and Panitch lay bare the roots of the crisis in the inner logic of capitalism itself.
