This updated and expanded edition critically explores and makes significant contributions to the debate surrounding Karl Marx's capitalist law of value.'
In the 21st century, the capitalist system has little more to offer than a menu of despair: pandemics, deepening inequality, worsening depression, out-of-control climate change, growing authoritarianism and intensifying militarism. This book offers a wide-ranging analysis of the origins, implications and scope of the "combined" crises of 2020 and beyond. It makes a compelling case that Karl Marx's critical analysis of capitalism, as well as his program of class-struggle socialism, are essential to understanding and addressing the most important social, economic, and ecological problems of our time.
A reconciliation between a mother and the daughter she gave away at birth. Anna is a successful film editor in her 40s who has defined herself through her political conscience.

Billie acts in soap operas, doesn't believe in political action and wants a mother. Together these two fractured women confront the implications of distance; between then and now, between generations and between the one who gave away and the one who was let go.

Providing a Marxian analysis of the origins, implications, and scope of the current economic downturn, this critique of global capitalism argues that the ongoing crisis is not merely a result of overProduction and problems with credit and finance, but rather a deep-seated systemic failure of capitalism itself. The discussion clearly roots the present economic slump in the history of capitalism and contends that, in order to find a more permanent solution, the crisis needs to be understood structurally, as the result of a failed theory, rather than as an aberration.
