Against Capital in the Twenty-First Century
A Reader of Radical Undercurrents EDITED BY JOHN ASIMAKOPOULOS & RICHARD GILMAN-OPALSKY February 2018 390pp 9781439913581 PB £25.99 9781439913574 HB £83.00 Temple University Press Against Capital in the Twenty-First Century presents a diversity of analyses and visions opposed to the idea that capital should have yet another century to govern human and non-human resources in the interest of profit and accumulation. The editors and contributors to this timely volume present alternatives to the whole liberal litany of administered economies, tax policy recommendations, and half-measures. They undermine and reject the logic of capital, and the foregone conclusion that the twenty-first century should be given over to capital just as the previous two centuries were.
Globalization Under and After Socialism
The Evolution of Transnational Capital in Central and Eastern Europe BESNIK PULA
July 2018 280pp 9781503605138 HB £52.00 Emerging Frontiers in the Global Economy Stanford University Press The post-communist states of Central and Eastern Europe have gone from being among the world's most closed, autarkic economies to some of the most export-oriented and globally integrated. While previous accounts have attributed this shift to post-1989 market reform policies, Besnik Pula sees the root causes differently. Reaching deeper into the region's history and comparatively examining its long-run industrial development, he locates critical junctures that forced the hands of Central and Eastern European elites and made them look at options beyond the domestic economy and the socialist bloc.
Rude Awakening
Threats to the Global Liberal Order MAURO F. GUILLEN
April 2018 192pp 9780812250442 HB £19.99 University of Pennsylvania Press In Rude Awakening, Mauro F. Guillén argues for an improved international arrangement to provide for stability and prosperity. He offers key considerations that a reinvented global liberal order must address—from finding a balance between markets and governments to confronting present realities, such as rapid technological change and social inequality, to recognizing that Europe and the United States can no longer attempt by themselves to steer the global economy. Rude Awakening affirms the potential of liberalism still to provide a flexible framework for governments, businesses, workers, and citizens to explore and make necessary compromises and coalitions for a better future.
What Is a Border? MANLIO GRAZIANO
February 2018 112pp 9781503605398 PB £9.99 Stanford University Press The fall of the Berlin Wall seemed to inaugurate an age of ever fewer borders. The liberalization and integration of markets, the creation of vast free-trade zones, the birth of a new political and monetary union in Europe—all seemed to point in that direction. Only thirty years later, the tendency appears to be the opposite. Talk of a wall with Mexico is only one sign among many that borders are being revisited. Is this an out-of-step, deceptive last gasp of national sovereignty or the victory of the weight of history over the power of place? The fact that borders have made a comeback, warns Graziano, does not mean that they will resolve any problems. His geopolitical history and analysis of the phenomenon draws our attention to the ground shifting under our feet in the present and allows us to speculate on what might happen in the future.
