Books by Richard Westra

Based upon distinguishing capitalism from other economic systems, as well as analysis of capitalist change across its stages of development, this title argues that the economic tendencies we refer to as globalization constitute a world historic transition away from capitalism.

In this collection authors from eight different countries, representing a wide variety of academic disciplines and theoretical perspectives, investigate the differing phases of capitalist development. They offer diverse and powerful analyses of the postwar boom, economic crises and globalization within this context.
