War, Global Capitalism and Resistance - Paperback

For the last twenty years, William I. Robinson has been developing a new theory of capitalism and the state; now his selected writings are collected in War, Global Capitalism and Resistance. His theory of capitalism, imperialism, and the state - describing a transnational capitalist world, a global police state, and the resistance to them - derives from earlier Marxists theories but also transforms and develops them. He applies his theory to such issues as education and migration, and the Israel-Palestine war, and calls for the creation of a new international to confront global capitalism. His writings challenge us to rethink our understanding of capitalism and the class struggle. This compact book contributes to contemporary Marxist theory and should be widely read and debated on the left.
