He argues with great power that the world's economies are on a social and ecological precipice, and that unless we take decisive action to radically transform our societies we will find ourselves thrust headfirst into barbarism and environmental catastrophe.\u003cbr\u003eM sz ros, however, is no pessimist. He believes that the multiple crises of world capitalism will encourage the working class to demand center stage in the construction of a new system of production and distribution designed to meet human needs rather than serve the relentless pursuit of profit--a struggle which is already underway in places such as Venezuela. As John Bellamy Foster says in the foreword to this indispensable book, \"Today the structural crisis of capital provides the historical setting for a new revolutionary movement for social emancipation in which developments normally taking centuries would flit by like phantoms in decades or even years. But the force for such necessary, vital change, remains with the people themselves, and rests on humanity's willingness to constitute itself as both subject and object of history, through the collective struggle to create a just and sustainable world. This, M sz ros insists, constitutes the unprecedented challenge and burden of \u003ci\u003eour\u003c\/i\u003e historical time.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Istv疣 M駸z疵os\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1583672087\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781583672082\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 03\/01\/2010\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 218\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.60lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.10h x 5.40w x 0.60d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eReference and Research Bk News\u003c\/i\u003e 08\/01\/2010 pg. 92","brand":"Istv疣 M駸z疵os","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44068654547199,"sku":"9781583672082","price":26.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_f140b0ae-c5dd-4765-af88-74cf31b54c66.jpg?v=1685420255","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-structural-crisis-of-capital-istv-n-msz-ros-9781583672082","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
