520    "Capitalism, Coronavirus and War investigates the decay of
       neoliberal financialised capitalism as revealed in the 
       crisis the novel coronavirus triggered, but did not cause,
       that has been furthered by conflict across the globe. 
       Leading domestically to economic and political breakdown, 
       Covid-19 accelerated the imperial decline in the US-led 
       capitalist world's power, intensifying the tendency to 
       lash out with aggression and militarism, as seen in the US
       -led West's New Cold War against China and the proxy war 
       against Russia over Ukraine. The geopolitical economy of 
       the decay and crisis of this form of capitalism suggests 
       that the struggle with socialism that has long shaped the 
       fate of capitalism has reached a tipping point. The author
       argues that mainstream and progressive forces take 
       capitalism's longevity for granted, misunderstand its 
       historical dynamics and deny its formative bond with 
       imperialism. Only a theoretically and historically 
       accurate account of capitalism's dynamics and historical 
       trajectory, which this book provides, can explain its 
       current failures and predicament. It also reveals why, 
       though the pandemic - by revealing capitalism's obscene 
       inequality and shocking debility - prompted the most 
       serious critiques of capitalism to emerge in decades, 
       hopes of 'building back better' were so quickly dashed. 
       This book sheds searching light on the dominant narratives
       that have normalised the neoliberal financialised 
       capitalism and the dollar creditocracy dominating the 
       world economy, with even critics unable to link 
       capitalism's neoliberal turn to its financialisation, 
       historical decay, productive debility and international 
       decline. It contends that only by appreciating the 
       seriousness of the crisis and rectifying our understanding
       of capitalism can progressive forces thwart a future of 
       chaos or authoritarianism and begin the long task of 
       building socialism. This book will be of great interest to
       students, scholars and researchers of International 
       Relations, IPE, comparative politics and global political 
       sociology"--|cProvided by publisher.
