Routledge Historical Materialism and Globalisation Essays

Explore the relevance of historical materialism in a world dominated by liberal capitalism. This collection of essays from the Routledge Studies in Globalisation series examines the contemporary global political economy through a lens of power and resistance. Rather than accepting global capitalism as an inevitable force, the contributors analyze how new realities are produced and contested. The text investigates the potential for a renewed historical materialism to serve as an emancipatory resource in the modern era, offering a deep look at the dialectic between systemic structures and social change. This book provides a necessary perspective for understanding the continuity and change within our current economic and political landscape.
