Reviews

Westra’s main thesis could hardly be more provocative: the demise of the post-World War II economic order has not led to a new phase of capitalist development, but to a post-capitalism of on-going social disintegration and nascent authoritarian statism. Those resisting this stark conclusion will be tremendously challenged by Westra’s arguments, carefully developed in comprehensive critical examinations of “globalization,” “financialization,” and the rise of “intangible capital.” There is no reason to make things complicated: if you are concerned with humanity’s future, you should read this work. It is as simple as that. - Tony Smith, Professor Emeritus of Philosophy at Iowa State University.
