Situates the current crisis in the historical trajectory of the
capitalist world-system, showing how the crisis was made possible
not only by neoliberal financial reforms but by a massive turn away
from manufacturing things of value towards seeking profit from
financial exchange and credit. Much more basic than the result of a
few financial traders cheating the system, this is a potential
historical turning point. In original essays, the contributors
establish why the system was ripe for crisis of the past, and yet
why this meltdown was different. The volume concludes by asking
whether as deep as the crisis is, it may contain seeds of a new
global economy, what role the US will play, and whether China or
other countries will rise to global leadership. Contributors
include: Giovanni Arrighi, Gopal Balakrishnan, Manuel Castells,
Daniel Chirot, Fernando Coronil, Nancy Fraser, James K. Galbraith,
David Harvey, Caglar Keyder, Beverly J. Silver, and Immanuel
Wallerstein. The three volumes can purchased individually or as a
set. Business as Usual is the first part of a trilogy comprised of
the first three books in the Possible Future series. Volume 1:
Business as Usual Volume 2: The Deepening Crisis Volume 3:
Aftermath The three volumes are linked by a common introduction and
can be purchased individually or as a set.
