Greek Capitalism in Crisis

Marxist Analyses
Herausgeber: Mavroudeas, Stavros

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Marxist analysis better explains the Greek crisis than its orthodox and heterodox competitors. The contributors present critiques of the prevalent approaches and offer studies of the Greek crisis that use the methodology and the analytical and empirical tools of classical Marxist Political Economy. In particular, it is shown that the Greek crisis was caused by falling profitability and the ensuing over accumulation crisis.
