Book synopsis

This book periodizes the main stages in the historical development of capitalism and presents a compelling argument that it is moving towards extinction. Westra pays particular attention to the current phase in the history of capitalism, outlining how unprecedented challenges from climate change and food insecurity to urban violence and disease have disguised the extent to which capitalism as a way of organizing human material affairs has been outpaced by history. By engaging in both Marxian and non-Marxian theory on the evolution of capitalism, Westra calls into question the rationality and viability of the capitalist social (dis)order most continue to affirm.
