"The leading socialist economist in the country" explores the roots of the Great Recession and its immense impact on working people (Cornel West).

While 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.

Praise for Richard Wolff and Democracy at Work

"Probably America's most prominent Marxist economist." -- The New York Times Magazine

"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

"Wolff offers a rich and much-needed corrective to the views of mainstream economists and pundits. It would be difficult to come away from this with anything but an acute appreciation of what is needed to get us out of this mess." -- Stanley Aronowitz

"Bold, thoughtful, transformative -- a powerful and challenging vision that takes us beyond both corporate capitalism and state socialism. Richard Wolff at his best!" -- Gar Alperovitz
