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. 588 Description based on print version record and CIP data provided by publisher; resource not viewed. 650 0 Capitalism|zUnited States|xHistory. 650 0 Neoliberalism|zUnited States|xHistory. 650 0 COVID-19 (Disease)|xEconomic aspects|zUnited States. 650 0 Militarism|zUnited States|xHistory. 650 0 Imperialism|xHistory. 650 7 Capitalism.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst00846425 650 7 COVID-19 (Disease)|xEconomic aspects.|2fast |0(OCoLC)fst02021810 650 7 Imperialism.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst00968126 650 7 Militarism.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01020839 650 7 Neoliberalism.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01737382 651 7 United States.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01204155 655 7 History.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01411628 776 08 |iPrint version:|aDesai, Radhika, 1963-|tCapitalism, coronavirus and war|dAbingdon, Oxon ; New York, NY : Routledge, 2023|z9781032059518|w(DLC) 2022031777 830 0 Rethinking globalizations. 914 on1344332890 947 MARCIVE Processed 2023/02/10 994 92|bCKE
