This book, a follow-up and further development of Martin's and Torres' ideas in their acclaimed Savage State: Welfare Capitalism and Inequality, contains a synthesis and critique of economic theory with historical case studies and new discourse on American globalism and its failures to provide for the economic security of millions of people. Since the original publication over ten years ago, there has been a resurgence in radical political economy and critical theory. Instead of "demonizing" the market, Capitalism and Critique draws lessons from the new directions in social theory and seeks clear solutions for future modes of capitalism UR - https://www.taylorfrancis.com/books/9780429430657 UR - http://www.oclc.org/content/dam/oclc/forms/terms/vbrl-201703.pdf ER -
