About this book series
The series offers a non-sectarian outlet for Marxist and critical heterodox economics scholarship on the tsunami of apocalyptic tendencies enveloping the global economy and society. Its guiding premise is that neoliberal policies from the 1980s not only failed to rejuvenate capitalist prosperity lost with the demise of the post-Second World War ‘golden age’ economy, but in fact have generated a widening spectrum of pathologies that threaten humanity itself. The series cultivates cutting-edge political economic analysis of the processes euphemised as ‘globalization’ and ‘financialization’, examining the impact of crises, austerity and inequality in the context of the recessionary, deflationary, inflationary, and stagflationary conditions that have beset the world economy in recent decades and into the 21st century. It covers themes such as the impact of monopolization and oligopolization in the new economy of information technologies, and the low wage production outsourcing and global social marginalization which accompanies that, as well as climate change, global environmental despoliation, disease pandemics, corrupted food systems and land-grabbing, rampant militarism, cybercrime and terrorism – all issues which defy mainstream economics and conventional political policy solutions.
The series invites work that is hard-hitting, inter/trans-disciplinary and multi-perspectival. It welcomes both theoretical and empirical writing with foci upon advanced and developing economies and encourages future-directed thinking on possibilities for another, better world. In particular, new and up-and-coming scholars are invited to submit their critical ideas and analysis. The series readership draws in academics, researchers, students, progressive governmental and non-governmental actors and the academically-informed public.
