Sommario/riassunto

In the mid-1990s, at the height of academic discussion about the inevitability of capitalist globalization, J. K. Gibson-Graham presented a groundbreaking and controversial argument for envisioning alternative economies. This new edition includes an introduction in which the authors address critical responses to The End of Capitalism and outline the economic research and activism they have been engaged in since the book was first published.  "Paralyzing problems are banished by this dazzlingly lucid, creative, and practical rethinking of class and economic transformation."
