Routledge Historical Materialism and Globalisation Essays

Explore the evolving relationship between economic theory and the modern world with Historical Materialism and Globalisation: Essays on Continuity and Change. Part of the Routledge Studies in Globalisation, this collection provides a deep look at the current state of the global political economy. As liberal capitalism presents itself as the primary condition of human social life following the collapse of Soviet-style socialism, this book argues for the continued relevance of historical materialism. Instead of treating global capitalism as an unavoidable natural force, these essays examine the dialectic of power and resistance occurring in today's landscape. This work is designed for readers interested in how reconstructed materialist perspectives can offer emancipatory resources in a contemporary context. It serves as a vital resource for understanding the forces producing and contesting the global economic order, making it a significant addition to any collection on international economics and political theory.
