Contents:
Chapter 1: Toward a social theory of economic crises in advanced capitalism -- Chapter 2, What happened: The roots and the development of the economic crisis in the United States -- Chapter 3: Capitalist contradictions and class relationships in the American social structure -- Chapter 4: Classes interests, policies for the crisis, and the political process -- Conclusion: Twilight of American capitalism.
Summary: "Taking a hard look at the crisis afflicting Western economies in recent years, Manuel Castells suggests that the very structures that fostered economic growth since 1945 are the same structures that are now undermining these economics. Pinpointing the new forms of the capitalist mode of production and the contradictory nature of its class relations as the root of the problem, he offers a comprehensive critique of American society and its economy." -- back cover
