Summary: This book "deals with all the significant problems of the political economy: capital formation, money, credit, foreign trade, the balance of payments, state capitalism, imperialism, neocolonialism, and so forth. In his critical analysis of the theories of Marx and Keynes, Mr. Mattick challenges the prevailing assumption that the economic system is no longer susceptible to crisis and depression. The Keynesian hypothesis has presumed to answer contemporary needs for a more stable and more extended economic structure. This book weighs these resources and methods against Marx's prediction of the inherent decline and collapse of capitalism. Mattick's sure grasp of both Marxist and Keynesian theory allows a clear and incisive exposition of their common features and divergences, and their relevance to the historical and contemporary outlines of the political economy." --From the dust jacket
