Progress requires the conquest of nature. Or does it? This startling new account overturns conventional interpretations of Marx and in the process outlines a more rational approach to the current environmental crisis. Marx, it is often assumed, cared only about industrial growth and the development of economic forces. John Bellamy Foster examines Marx's neglected writings on capitalist agriculture and soil ecology, philosophical naturalism, and evolutionary theory. He shows that Marx, known...

The days of boom and bubble are over, and the time has come to understand the long-term economic reality. Although the Great Recession officially ended in June 2009, hopes for a new phase of rapid economic expansion were quickly dashed.

Здесь нет ни политиканства, ни пропаганды, ни дешевого популизма – лишь реальная экономика и трезвый расчет, основанный на «теории сложности», которую применяют для прогнозирования землетрясений и социальных катаклизмов. Это – финансовое расследование одного из ведущих американских аналитиков, который просчитывает не просто агонию американской валюты, но крах всей...
