Synopsis
The End of the World as We Know It? explores the origins and effects of the capitalist crisis that began in 2008. It moves on to examine the responses of both the dispossessed and the ruling classes to the catastrophe, giving special attention to student mobilizations around the world. Weaving together a global network of stories and analyses, editor Deric Shannon creates an outline of what real and effective opposition to the forces that are destroying our lives and our planet might look like. From solidarity networks to revolutionary unionism, student strikes, and ever-new forms of state and corporate control, The End of the World as We Know It? is a guide to the future of anticapitalist struggle.

The End of the World as We Know It? (Paperback)
Seller: Grand Eagle Retail, Bensenville, IL, U.S.A.
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Shannon explores the origins and ramifications of the Great Recession, as well as the experiences of those living through it. Crisis is a recurring trait of capitalism and a necessary one for the economy to continue as it does. How can we learn from capitalist catastrophes unless we connect historical patterns to contemporary conditions? Divided into five sections - Origins, Effects, The Response of the Dispossessed, The Ruling Class Response and Education and the Student Response - the contributors outline the problem and offer tangible strategies for economic sustainability. Neither austerity nor reform will save us. Real alternatives mean real change. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
