Dynamics of Global Crisis

by Samir Amin

Writing in 1982, four of the foremost theoreticians of the world economy set out their understanding of the long-term dynamics of global capitalism. Dismissing the still-existing Soviet Union as a "paper tiger", they focused instead on the contradictions of the capitalist world-economy and produced work that canvassed the key forces that have dominated the end of the twentieth and start of the twenty-first centuries.

Reviews

[Víctor · Rating 4 out of 5]

Debate a cuatro sobre las dinámicas que sigue la mundialización capitalista, asumiendo la categoría teórica de sistema-mundo propuesta por Immanuel Wallerstein. Lectura relativamente sencilla y muy ilustradora de las propuestas teóricas sobre los autores que debaten sobre ella.
