Endgame

A comprehensive, clear, and strikingly insightful overview of important trends of our day: resurgent economic nationalism, new forms of exploitation and imperialism, the mainstreaming of the far-right, the continuing failure to address ever-worsening environmental threats, a metastasizing shadow financial sphere, and so on. Merchant argues compellingly that these social pathologies are rooted in the stagnation of the global capitalist economy. A brilliant book. * Tony Smith, author of Technology and Capital in the Age of Lean Production and Beyond Liberal Egalitarianism *
Jamie Merchant has given us an urgent and engaging history of the present, and it couldn’t be more timely. And he lays his cards on the table as honestly and clearly as he tells us how we got here. There is so much we need to think about in Endgame, and all of it is worthwhile. * Geoff Mann, Distinguished SFU Professor of Political Economy, Simon Fraser University, and author of In the Long Run We Are All Dead: Keynesianism, Political Economy and Revolution and Disassembly Required: A Field Guide to Actually Existing Capitalism *
A compelling analysis of ­contemporary capitalism. * Socialist Worker *
