This major intellectual exploration seeks to deepen our
understanding of the way in which modern capitalism works. The
author argues, in particular, that it has always rested in part on
the unremunerated labour of women, the non-sustainable extraction
of natural resources and the racist exploitation of the
non-European periphery. Robert Biel explains and illuminates how it
has integrated the South into a Western-dominated system of
exploitation and prevented it from making the promised transition
from marginality on the periphery to prosperity at the centre. And
the racist implications of this. He also explores two fundamental
questions. Are there really any indications that the global economy
is slowly entering a long-term structural crisis? And would any
significant disruption open up opportunities for new popular
movements to fundamentally challenge it? Robert Biel's work
constitutes a major revitalisation of the tools of Marxism and
Dependency Theory. In addition to scholars of political economy and
development, it will interest activists seeking to reconstitute
left politics in the age of globalisation.
