This book's main aim is to present a comparative analysis of the
crisis in different regions and to contribute to the debates about
alternatives with an emphasis on the multiple dimensions of the
crisis. In Chapter one, Michel Husson presents an outline of the
reasons behind the crisis and the stages of the crisis. Chapter two
by Andy Kilmister focuses on the particular intensity of the crisis
in Britain and the deep rooted contradictions behind the crisis in
the British economy. In Chapter three, Susan Pashkoff analyses the
discourse and political economy of austerity with a focus on the
latest evidence about distribution and unemployment in Britain. In
Chapter four Sean Thompson brings in the multiple dimensions of the
crisis, and aims at developing a broad ecosocialist industrial
strategy with a focus on the case of Britain. Chapter five by John
Rees discusses the relevance of Marx's political economy in
understanding the crisis and developing strategies, and points at
some controversies within the left in its interpretations. In
Chapter six Ozlem Onaran analyses the consequences of the crisis
for working people in Western Europe, and outlines transition
demands for an alternative ecosocialist Europe. Eric Toussaint
focuses more specifically on the debt crisis in Europe, and
introduces alternative strategies in Chapter seven. Sandra Ezquerra
discusses an often neglected aspect of the crisis in the periphery
of Europe: despite the vast literature on the crisis, there has not
been much discussion about the specific consequences of the crisis
and post-crisis management on women; Sandra Ezquerra engenders the
analysis of the crisis with a focus on the Spanish State in Chapter
eight. Chapter nine by Catherine Samary reminds us of the forgotten
fragilities in Eastern Europe, which is now facing yet another
crisis after two decades of integration to global capitalism. The
following two chapters focus on the differences in the effects of
the crisis and post-crisis management in Latin America and China,
and improves our understanding of a swing in the centre of gravity
of global capitalist accumulation. In Chapter ten Jean Sanuk
discusses the growth regime in China, its relevance for global
capitalism, and its intrinsic limits. Claudio Katz introduces the
recent debates in Latin America in Chapter eleven, and points at
the political aspects of crisis management, continuing fragilities,
and the distributional consequences of the crisis management.
Finally, at the end of the book we are publishing an interview with
Eric Toussaint, which discusses the new stages of the debt crisis
in Europe since Summer 2011. This not only helps us to present an
update on the latest events since the previous contributions were
written, but also provides a very accessible yet informative piece,
which can be used as part of activist work. The depth of the
present crisis has torn holes in the hegemony of neoliberalism and
has led to serious political discontent. We hope that this global
update three years after the crisis about the new stages of the
crisis and the limits to recovery will help us to develop
strategies to turn the popular discontent into a real challenge to
the hegemony of capitalism.
