- Summary:
- This second volume in the Democratic Marxism series breaks new ground in our understanding of the complexity and depth of the world-wide economic crisis. The contributors, from across the global North and South, employ political, economic and ecological prisms to reflect the wide range of left responses- from the Occupy wall street movement to the people's Budget Initiative in India and left think-tanks, to labour unions and left parties such as Syriza and Podemos in Europe. Their compelling analyses showcase the global impact of capitalism's failure in the twenty-first century. Book jacket.
