Capitalism and Critique

Practical and visionary, this stylish and hard-hitting book shows that there are compelling democratic alternatives to the miseries produced by neoliberalism.

Much needed during these times, Martin, Torres, and Pimentel have written a brilliant analysis of our society and its core issues. I find their book indispensable. Just as impressive, they do not abandon the reader without thoroughly working through solutions to the problems they interrogate—the capitalist political economy. This is a rarity among books critical with the current status quo.
Mark Gottdiener, State University of New York

In these times of escalating economic crisis and social unrest, Martin, Torres, and Pimentel have provided us with a timely and urgent critique of neoliberal capitalism. All those who seek a just and sustainable future should study their proposals for taming the tyranny of the market and constructing a democratic political economy.
William I. Robinson, University of California at Santa Barbara

Capitalism is being transformed before our eyes. This has implications not only for prosperity but also for democracy and geopolitics. To help us grasp both the crises and power of capitalism, we need to reach beyond economic orthodoxy. This book provides a brief, clear guide to the alternative perspectives offered by different schools of political economy. It will help readers develop a critical perspective on capitalism and on related struggles for justice.
