An important and ground breaking work on the importance of migration in the context of development studies

Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

Despite the renewed interest in the impact of migration upon economic development in general, remarkably few studies have taken up the ways in which the geographic flows of labour impact capital accumulation.

This timely and provocative book analyses the existing literature and adds a critical dimension by examining the financialisation of migration processes, thereby making an indispensable contribution to Development Studies.

Capital Accumulation And Migration bridges this gap and provides a fresh perspective on the intricacies of migration's role in economic processes.

    20th century European Fascism is conventionally described as a fierce assault on liberal politics, culture, and economics. Departing from this analysis, The Apprentice's Sorcerer highlights the long overlooked critical affinities between the liberal tradition and fascism. Far from being the antithesis of liberalism, fascism both in ideology and practice was substantially, if dialectically, indebted to liberalism; particularly its economic variant....

    It is often remarked that criticalβ€”and especially Marxistβ€”state theory began to lose its central place in the study of comparative politics in the 1980s. Ironically, this shift occurred just as neoliberal policies were transforming the social form and spatial scales of the state, radically restructuring the practices of state economic intervention, and extending the capabilities of the coercive arms of...
