Sociological Imagination
"As one would expect from Callinicos, this book is forensic in
its detail and is a useful tool in the armoury of anyone who wishes
to see beyond the platitudes of the yellow press."
Morning Star
"A powerful critique; a serious engagement with a crucial
contemporary debate."
Political Studies Review
"An important book for anybody wanting an introduction to how
Marxist political economy can help to understand the times in which
we live."
Marx and Philosophy
"The crisis of 2007-9 is an event of historic importance that
has affected economy, society and politics. Callinicos analyses its
causes within the broader development of capitalism in recent
decades. Particularly relevant is his stress on financialisation as
well as the implications he draws regarding the balance of imperial
power across the world. Written with the author's customary skill,
this is a welcome contribution from the left to the public
debate."
