Samir Amin, one of the most influential economists today, has
produced another groundbreaking work. Spectres of Capitalism cuts
through the current intellectual fashions that assume a global
capitalist triumph, taking the occasion of the 150th anniversary of
Marx and Engels's classic tract, the Communist Manifesto, to focus
upon the aspirations of the destitute millions of the post-Cold War
era. In this succinct theoretical text, Amin examines the changing
notion of crisis in capitalism; misconceptions of the free market
model; the various distortions of Marx's method; the role of
culture in revolutions; the decline of the "law of value" in
economics; the philosophical roots of postmodernism; how
telecommunications affect ideology; and the myth of "pure
economics." Amin has a broad following among students of economics,
who value his analyses of the intricacies of capitalist
development, both in the major powers and in the third world. The
comprehensive scope of this work will also attract readers as a
contribution to the international dialogue of intellectuals
commemorating the Communist Manifesto.
