Description



Book Synopsis



A new account of globalization's decline as the natural outworking of market economics.

Globalization as we know it is over. Industrial policies dismissed as obsolete for decades have been embraced by governments worldwide, geopolitical tensions are rising higher and higher, and resurgent far-right movements are threatening the foundations of contemporary democracies. In this book, Jamie Merchant traces the roots of this decline beyond the oft-blamed failures of the post-Cold War era. Instead, Merchant argues that the great political and economic changes of the last decade are due not to globalization but to the long-term decay of the market-based economic order. By historicizing this period of globalization and decline, Endgame illuminates a path forward for both the global economy and international politics.



Review Quotes




"A compelling analysis of ­contemporary capitalism."-- "Socialist Worker"

"Jamie Merchant has given us an urgent and engaging history of the present, and it couldn't be more timely. And he lays his cards on the table as honestly and clearly as he tells us how we got here. There is so much we need to think about in Endgame, and all of it is worthwhile."--Geoff Mann, Distinguished author of 'In the Long Run We Are All Dead: Keynesianism, Political Economy' and 'Revolution and Disassembly Required: A Field Guide to Actually Existing Capitalism'

"A comprehensive, clear, and strikingly insightful overview of important trends of our day: resurgent economic nationalism, new forms of exploitation and imperialism, the mainstreaming of the far-right, the continuing failure to address ever-worsening environmental threats, a metastasizing shadow financial sphere, and so on. Merchant argues compellingly that these social pathologies are rooted in the stagnation of the global capitalist economy. A brilliant book."--Tony Smith, author of "Technology and Capital in the Age of Lean Production" and "Beyond Liberal Egalitarianism"
