John Weeks

Capital, Exploitation and Economic Crisis (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

In 2008 the capitalist world was swept by the severest crisis since the Great Depression of the 1930s. Karl Marx anticipated this type of financial collapse, arguing that it was derivative from the 'fetishism of commodities' inherent in the capitalist mode of production. This book substantiates the foregoing claim by a journey from Marx's analysis of commodities to the capitalist crisis of the twenty-first century.
