Summary

Capitalism's Crisis Deepens by Richard Wolff challenges the mainstream belief that the Great Recession's crisis has passed. Through a series of essays, Wolff explores the severe downturns in traditional capitalist centres, the uneven growth in emerging ones, and the re-emergence of a global speculative bubble. His accessible style invites readers to understand this crisis as an ongoing phase in capitalism's evolution rather than a temporary episode.

Book Hero Magic created this recommendation. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! IS THIS YOUR NEXT READ?

This book is ideal for students, educators, and readers interested in economics, social sciences, and critical perspectives on capitalism's current and future crises.

World-renowned economist Richard Wolf explores the roots of the Great Recession and its immense impact on working people.

Description

While most mainstream commentators view the crisis that provoked the Great Recession as having passed, these essays from Richard Wolff paint a far less rosy picture. Drawing attention to the extreme downturn in most of capitalism's old centres, the unequal growth in its new centres and the resurgence of a global speculative bubble, Wolff—in his uniquely accessible style—makes the case that the crisis should be grasped not as a passing moment, but as an evolving stage in capitalism's history.

Capitalism's Crisis Deepens presents Wolff's analysis with clarity, urging readers to consider the broader implications of ongoing economic instability. His insights challenge the notion of a resolved crisis and invite a deeper understanding of capitalism's persistent vulnerabilities.

Book Hero Magic summarised reviews for this book. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! HOW HAS THIS BEEN REVIEWED?
