But capitalism has now shifted its attention to Asia, even as the conditions of ordinary workers in Europe and North America decline, and the political influence of the West wanes. This book argues that only by breaking decisively with capitalism, and aligning themselves with the majority of the world's people against exploitation, can the peoples of Europe and the United States save their societies. They must look not into the abyss where capitalism now proposes to plunge them, but over the abyss, over the horizon of capitalism, to an alternative present and future beyond capitalism. This work proposes concrete steps that can be taken to change institutions to move beyond capitalism, and helps to clarify the meanings of key concepts such as the State, Nations, Internationalism, Capitalism, Corporation and Class in ways that are practical and useful for social change"-- $c Provided by publisher. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references and index. 505 0 $a Looking over the abyss -- What is, and isn't capitalism? -- The differences between capitalism in the United States and in Europe -- Prologue to chapters three and four: The four sisters -- Why is there no socialism in Europe? -- War and peace in Europe -- The 18th brumaire of just about everybody: The rise of the new fascist would-be dictators, and how to prevent and reverse it -- The green New Deal and class composition: Another kind of revolution -- Why globalization failed: Lessons from volumes 1 and 3 of Karl Marx's Capital -- The West and the rest: Racial capitalism, meritocratic capitalism and the vast majority. 650 0 $a Capitalism $z United States $x History. 650 0 $a Capitalism $z Europe $x History. 650 0 $a Democracy $z United States $x History. 650 0 $a Democracy $z Europe $x History. 650 0 $a Comparative government. 650 7 $a Capitalism. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00846425 650 7 $a Comparative government. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00871341 650 7 $a Democracy. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00890077 651 7 $a Europe. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01245064 651 7 $a United States. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204155 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 941 $a 1 952 $l USUX851 $d 20210707012135.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=2CF8F804C43111EB854196005EECA4DB 994 $a 92 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
