Reviews

'This is an original, important and challenging contribution to our understanding of the global economic crisis that continues to shape our lives ... Christos Memos provides an all-encompassing account of the 2008 crisis that reveals the ontological and epistemological foundations of our existing social order, and the superficiality of both bourgeois and orthodox Marxist accounts.' - Hugo Radice, Capital & Class
