As the sun rises on China and sets on America, the world holds its
breath. China, the USA and Capitalism's Last Crusade looks at the
rise of China and the decline of the USA but from a different
angle. William Briggs argues that this struggle for economic
supremacy is being played out against a much bigger backdrop; the
decline of the economic structure of capitalism. In this sense, the
decline of the USA is portrayed as that larger economic decline in
microcosm. Briggs examines the relationship between state and
capital, of how capitalism came to dominate the world, and of the
historical, political and economic rise of both the USA and China.
He shows that the struggle between the two nations has little to do
with cultural, historical, demographic, political or ideological
differences, but with what they have in common. Despite the
portrayal of China as being 'socialist' it functions as a
capitalist economy in the globalised capitalist world. While its
journey to capitalism may have differed, the end point is the same
and this is why there is such animosity, such conflict, such
acrimony between the two states.
