Overview

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.
