Summary:

East Asia has long been the focus of development debates, first as a success story and now as a region in crisis. Nonetheless, there has been little if any serious discussion of what the region's experience tells us about capitalism and the prospects for non-capitalist development alternatives more centered on the needs of workers and communities. "Development, Crisis and Class Struggle" fills this gap.
