Publication date Topics economics , social change Collection opensource Language English. The Cancer Stage of Capitalism is a modern classic of critical philosophy and political economy, renowned for its depth and comprehensive research. It provides a step by step diagnosis of the continuing economic collapse in the US and Europe and has had an enormous influence on new visions of economic alternatives. John McMurtry argues that our world disorder of unending crises is the predictable result of a cancerous economic system multiplying out of all control and destroying ecological, social and organic life - a process he describes as 'global ecogenocide'.

In an official global culture increasingly destructive of life, this book shows the necessity and possibility of building a sustainable society based on a universal commitment to life and nature.

It is also worth mentioning that there are hundreds of typos and words missing, no doubt due to the second, expanded edition being rushed through a terrible and rather amateurish re-edit prior to its publication. However, and not withstanding the above criticisms, the fundamental importance of this work resides in its capacity to challenge the destructive magnitudes of the neoliberal hegemony under which we all live. And that cannot be understated enough if one is a conscientious human being worried about the future, as of course McMurtry indeed is.

Ajay Palekar. This book is a crucial inspiration behind my work and life. McMurtry's diagnosis of the pathologies of modern-day capitalism is deep and cutting. Moreso, McMurtry creates a conceptual framework, the outlines of a solution, and articulates the mechanisms by which real life is destroyed in this world. This vision of global finance capitalism, isn't a rejection of everything that we have come to know and believe, but it is a panoramic, encyclopedic, and breathtakingly original take of the system.

Tldr; any entity that defines itself through exponential growth blind to real life conditions can only have one outcome: catastrophic failure. This is the state of the world today and we can fix it. Articulate and densely descriptive, erudite and enlightening, intense and disturbing. A brilliant analysis of troubling situation. Well researched. Full of chilling reminders of our societal denial and closes with some suggestions.

It was maximally rational, and further ensured scarcity of life goods to favour its continued global market selection for production and sale. It would do so without a single intervention in private property rights. Displaying 1 - 6 of 6 reviews.
