Democracy at Work presents a new collection
of articles by Richard D. Wolff.
The crisis that
erupted in 2007 continues to inflict immense and uneven costs on modern
society. "Recovery" becomes yet another luxury that bypasses the vast
majorities in capitalist nations. The articles and essays gathered in
Capitalism’s
Crisis Deepens: Essays on the Global Economic Meltdown 2010-2014 explore
the specifics of the deepening crisis as they became clear, caught the public’s
attention, or defined a particular historic moment. As the table of contents
below illustrates, the organization of the essays, at once topical but also
chronological, seeks to enable readers to grasp the crisis as a moving,
evolving stage in capitalism’s history. For this reason, the book makes a great
companion to any introductory or advanced course covering economics or the study
of contemporary capitalism.
