{"product_id":"system-in-crisis-9781552661154","title":"System In Crisis","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn the late 1960s the operating world capitalist system hit a snag, exposing cracks that went to its very foundations. At first, this crisis was viewed as part of a normal business cycle of capital accumulation in which markets become saturated. The reaction created a mass of unemployed workers, reduced purchasing power and consumption capacity which initiated a further downward cycle of disinvestment and recession. The efforts to revitalize the capitalist system included the restructuring of world production, new information-based technologies designed to revolutionize the structure of production, a new mode of capital accumulation and regulatory regime, and a program of policy reforms and structural adjustments.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBy discussing the very cracks that neo-liberalism tries to disguise, James Petras and Henry Veltmeyer explain how these reactions attempt to prop up a system that continues to fail the global community. System in Crisis also examines the nature of the class divisions and the political repercussions of the anti-globalization movement. This analysis provides readers with a more general perspective on the broader anti-globalization movement and the possibilities for unifying the diverse forces of resistance and opposition to neo-liberalism, capitalism and imperialism–and the prospects for an alternative, more human, socialist form of development.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"James Petras","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48276845854971,"sku":"9781552661154","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0779\/3917\/9771\/files\/CoreSourceHub_e541239b-a19c-4024-a1ab-cf02b2ee02bf.jpg?v=1771151012","url":"https:\/\/indiepubs.com\/products\/system-in-crisis-9781552661154","provider":"IndiePubs","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
