{"product_id":"the-implosion-of-contemporary-capitalism-samir-amin-9781583674215","title":"The Implosion of Contemporary Capitalism","description":"\u003cp\u003eRenowned political economist Samir Amin, engaged in a unique lifelong effort both to narrate and affect the human condition on a global scale, brings his analysis up to the present--the world of 2013. The key events of our times--financial crisis, the emerging nations, globalization, financialization, political Islam, Euro-zone implosion--are related in a coherent, historically based, account. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eChanges in contemporary capitalism require an updating of definitions and analysis of social classes, class struggles, political parties, social movements and the ideological forms in which they express their modes of action in the transformation of societies. Amin meets this challenge and lays bare the reality of monopoly capitalism in its general, global form. Ultimately, Amin demonstrates that this system is not viable and that the implosion in progress is unavoidable. Whether humanity will rise to the challenge of building a more humane global order free of the contradictions of capital, however, is yet to be seen.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Samir Amin\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1583674217\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781583674215\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Monthly Review Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/01\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 144\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.65lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.30h x 5.70w x 0.60d","brand":"Samir Amin","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43939784851711,"sku":"9781583674215","price":85.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_25b11d72-ee4b-4525-b240-33f44d3fc55a.jpg?v=1681443466","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-implosion-of-contemporary-capitalism-samir-amin-9781583674215","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
