: From Crisis to Cure John McMurtry Pluto Press , 16. jul. 2013 - 368 sider 0 Anmeldelser The Cancer Stage of Capitalism is a modern classic of critical philosophy and political economy, renowned for its depth and comprehensive research. It provides a step by step diagnosis of the continuing economic collapse in the US and Europe and has had an enormous influence on new visions of economic alternatives.



John McMurtry argues that our world disorder of unending crises is the predictable result of a cancerous economic system multiplying out of all control and destroying ecological, social and organic life - a process he describes as "global ecogenocide." In this updated edition he explains the "social immune response" required to fight the "macro cancer," something which has already been shown in developments such as the Occupy movement and the democratic social transformation of Latin America.



In an official global culture increasingly destructive of life, this book shows the necessity and possibility of building a sustainable society based on a universal commitment to life and nature.
