العنوان الفرعي للكتاب | The Political Economy Of American Empire |
وصف الكتاب | The all-encompassing embrace of world capitalism at the beginning of the twenty-first century was generally attributed to the superiority of competitive markets. Globalization had appeared to be the natural outcome of this unstoppable process. But today, with global markets roiling and increasingly reliant on state intervention to stay afloat, it has become clear that markets and states aren't straightforwardly opposing forces. In this groundbreaking work, Leo Panitch and Sam Gindin demonstrate the intimate relationship between modern capitalism and the American state. The Making of Global Capitalism identifies the centrality of the social conflicts that occur within states rather than between them. These emerging fault lines hold out the possibility of new political movements that might transcend global markets. |
المراجعة التحريرية | An elegantly written travel book about a pipeline ... A distinctive blend of travelogue, reportage and history.--Financial Times "Inspirational in the proper sense."--Guardian "A lovingly crafted narrative, a rich tapestry of first-hand anecdote and historical reconstruction."--Independent "Elegant ... verges on the psychogeographical ... The human stories behind the pipeline's construction."--Literary Review "Opens the lid on the often-shady energy economy, weaving absorbing travel reportage into powerful investigative journalism."--Time Out Book of the Week "Seamlessly weaves an engaging personal story into the current geopolitics of oil aggression and the volatile recent history of the region."--Red Pepper "Part-travelogue, part-reportage, The Oil Road is a powerful ... account of how a valuable natural resource can ruin the lives of ordinary people ... This is no dry historiography."--Sunday Business Post "Beautifully written as well as formidably well-informed ... A pleasure to read."--Neal Ascherson, Black Sea "The Oil Road is an inspiring act of political cartography. It makes chastisingly visible the means by which we blithely consume 'the geology of elsewhere.'"--Robert Macfarlane, The Old Ways "Well researched and written with empathy, integrity and imagination. It is timely and much needed." Ahdaf Soueif, The Map of Love "This book is so masterful, so authortatively researched and so elegantly written, that it suceeds in distilling a complex and changing 'Carbon Web' of engineering companies, legal firms, and financiers, into an intimate and engaging personal story."--Suzi Gablik, Has Modernism Failed |
