In this age of overlapping and mutually reinforcing deep global
crises (financial convulsions, global warming, mass migrations,
militarism, inequality, selfish nation-states, etc.), there needs
to be more realistic dialogue about radical alternatives to the
status quo. Most literature produced heretofore has focused on the
surface causes of these crises without much attention given to the
sorts of major societal changes needed in order to deal with the
crises we face. This book moves the debate beyond the critiques and
the false or not fully realised alternatives, to focus on what can
be termed "practical utopias". The contributors to this book
outline a range of practical proposals for constructing pathways
out of the global economic, ecological and social crisis. Varieties
of Alternative Economic Systems eschews a single blueprint but
insists on dealing directly with the deep structural problems and
contradictions of contemporary global capitalism. It provides a
diverse array of complementary proposals and perspectives that can
inform both theoretical thinking and practical action. This volume
will be of interest to academics and students who study political
science, ecological economics, international politics and
socialism.
This volume brings together work by international scholars to
provide a unique analysis of the past, present and possible future
trajectory of Korea's political economy from a distinctly Marxist
perspective. The volume differentiates the Marxian approach to the
political economy of Korean development from the Keynesian, social
democratic approach that currently dominates the critical
literature. In doing so the volume provides a unique view of the
development of the South Korean Economy.

The economic growth in East Asia has been believed to be the model
case of the triumph of capitalism. Some progressive economists, for
example, the developmental state theorists, also praised the East
Asian model as the progressive alternative to neoliberal market
fundamentalism, arguing that they are the outcomes of state-led
development. However, with the sudden advent of the 'Lost Decade of
Japan' in the 1990s, and the ensuing 'IMF Crisis' of South Korea in
1997, and now the imminent 'hard landing' of the Chinese economy,
the East Asian miracle story is quickly becoming a thing of the
past. East Asia has now become an epicentre of the contradictions
and crisis of global capitalism. Today, deepening economic crises,
exacerbation of social polarization, rising popular discontents,
and escalating geopolitical tensions are common to China, Japan and
Korea. Moreover, East Asia has been at the centre of global
ecological contradictions. Indeed, East Asia has now become the
typical place of Marxian macro-dynamics. ; This important and
timely volume brings together experts in political economy from
across the globe, to comment on the return of Marxian
macro-dynamics in East Asia. The contributions explore
macro-dynamics, the role of the state and hegemony in the context
of transnational capitalism, and Marxian alternatives for East
Asia.
