New! Imperialism in the Twenty-First Century

Imperialism in the Twenty-First Century

By John Smith
Winner of the first Paul A. Baran–Paul M. Sweezy Memorial Award

John Smith’s Imperialism in the Twenty-First Century: Globalization, Super-Exploitation, and Capitalism’s Final Crisis is a seminal examination of the relationship between the core capitalist countries and the rest of the world in the age of neoliberal globalization. Deploying a sophisticated Marxist methodology, Smith begins by tracing the production of certain iconic commodities—the T-shirt, the cup of coffee, and the iPhone—and demonstrates how these generate enormous outflows of money from the countries of the Global South to transnational corporations headquartered in the core capitalist nations of the Global North. Meticulously researched and forcefully argued, this book is a major contribution to the theorization and critique of global capitalism.
