"This is the fourth in a continuing series of collected essays by the editors of Monthly Review on the state of the U.S. economy and its relation to the global system. Like its predecessors — The End of Prosperity (1977), The Dynamics of U.S. Capitalism (1979), and The Deepening Crisis of U.S. Capitalism (1980) — this latest volume focuses on the most recent phase of the development of U.S. capitalism, stressing the profound contradictions of the underlying processes of capital accumulation and pointing the way to the fundamental reforms that are the essential precondition for a real economic revival." -- From the back cover.
