{"product_id":"empire-of-capital-ellen-meiksins-wood-9781844675180","title":"Empire of Capital","description":"Capitalism makes possible a new form of domination by purely economic means, argues Ellen Meiksins Wood. So, surely, even the most seasoned White House hawk would prefer to exercise global hegemony in this way, without costly colonial entanglements. Yet, as Wood powerfully demonstrates, the economic empire of capital has also created a new unlimited militarism. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e By contrasting the new imperialism to historical forms such as the Roman and Spanish empire, and by tracing the development of capitalist imperialism back to the English domination of Ireland and on the British Empire in America and India, Wood shows how today's capitalist empire, a global economy administered by local states, has come tom spawn a new military doctrine of war without end, in purpose or time.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ellen Meiksins Wood\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1844675181\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781844675180\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Verso\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/17\/2005\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 200\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.53lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.68h x 5.28w x 0.51d","brand":"Ellen Meiksins Wood","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45933847118079,"sku":"9781844675180","price":19.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_c550c127-3809-46c9-8b08-131eee2671f4.jpg?v=1721789727","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/empire-of-capital-ellen-meiksins-wood-9781844675180","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
