Capitalism's Crisis Deepens: Essays On The Global Economic Meltdown Download Free (EPUB, PDF)
Praise for Richard Wolff and Democracy at Work:"Richard Wolff's constructive and innovative ideas suggest new and promising foundations for much more authentic democracy and sustainable and equitable development, ideas that can be implemented directly and carried forward. A very valuable contribution in troubled times."—Noam Chomsky"Richard Wolff is the leading socialist economist in the country. This book is required reading for anyone concerned about a fundamental transformation of the ailing capitalist economy!"—Cornel West"Bold, thoughtful, transformative-a powerful and challenging vision that takes us beyond both corporate capitalism and state socialism. Richard Wolff at his best!"—Gar AlperovitzWhile most mainstream commentators view the crisis that provoked the Great Recession as having passed, these essays from Richard Wolff paint a far less rosy picture. Drawing attention to the extreme downturn in most of capitalism's old centers, the unequal growth in its new centers, and the resurgence of a global speculative bubble, Wolff—in his uniquely accessible style—makes the case that the crisis should be grasped not as a passing moment, but as an evolving stage in capitalism's history.Richard Wolff is Professor of Economics Emeritus, University of Massachusetts, Amherst, and a Visiting Professor at the New School in New York. Wolff's recent work has concentrated on analyzing the causes and alternative solutions to the global economic crisis. His groundbreaking book Democracy at Work: A Cure for Capitalism inspired the creation of Democracy at Work, a nonprofit organization dedicated to showing how and why to make democratic workplaces real.

Very solid and relevant takedown of the legion failings of neoliberal policies, austerity, the massive upward transfer of wealth and everything else wretched for human beings and their ever more fragile societies that comes along with the regnant oligarchic, .01% controlled and owned, monopoly, financial, "casino" capitalism. A great book! As usual,, Richard D. Wolff tells it like it is with no sugar-coating the sorry facts!! He is also very gifted at explaining complex economic and political concepts in a way that makes they much easier for a lay reader to comprehend!!
This is an excellent discussion of economic issues currently. Dr. Wolff has the ability to make complex issues understandable. I have followed him for a number of years and think this is one of his best efforts. If helps to clarify the current commentary of socialism. Read this and it will be understandable.
Excellent explanation of our economic and political predicament with a very reasonable suggestion for its resolution, reasonable but difficult to achieve.
Prof Wolff gives excellent insight into today's economy. His writing is very clear; he argues his points well. This is not for academics--there is not a ton of documentation but lots of good references. These are essays so sometimes he makes the same points in different essays but I like his writing style so I didn't mind reading the same thing said differently.
