Rezensionen

"Richard Westra presents strong arguments to support his claim that far from being a retrenchment of capitalism, the neo-liberal era represents a transition away from capitalism. His book is a must read for anyone interested in the general course of the global capitalist economy after World War II." - Robert Albritton, Professor Emeritus, York University, Toronto, Canada.

"Political Economy and Globalization is a thorough treatment of a topic that demands theoretically informed analysis, reflection and political action. After all, the end of capitalism and the avoidance of barbarism are not trifling or transitory issues." - Kevin Hewson, Department of Asian Studies, Singapore Management University and University of North Carolina; Journal of Contemporary Asia, 42:4, 733-736 (2012).
