2002: A World of Contradictions
(Edited by Leo Panitch & Colin Leys)
Order this issue

This issue of the Socialist Register 2002 contains timely new analyses of the intensifying contradictions global capitalism is creating, and which market-driven governments are unable to resolve, such as the obsession with growth and its consequences; the unsustainable dominance of financial capital; the limits and possibilities of anti-capitalist protest movements; globalised media and the erosion of democracy; cities, disability, poverty, global crime; and, illness and madness - the psychological price. A crucial guide for those concerned to build a world beyond the constraints of markets and the profit motive.
