Concluding Words for the Future. 330 $aThis book offers a novel treatment of one of the most important and long-standing research agendas in critical political economy: the theorizing of stages of capitalist development. Albritton advances the work of Japanese economist, Kozo Uno, to explore capital accumulation and its ideological, legal and political supports, not only in the stages of mercantilism, liberalism and imperialism, but also in the post-World War II capitalist stage of consumerism. The power of Albritton's adoption of this Japanese approach resides in the crisp clarity it achieves over the way stage theorizing of capitalism draws on both economic theory and historical analysis. In the new, fully revised edition, written with Richard Westra, two new chapters are added. One meticulously examines the tendencies of capitalism euphemized as globalization and financialization which followed the crisis of the stage of consumerism. The other deals with current threats to civilization posed by burgeoning militarism, environmental destruction and climate apocalypse. The concluding chapter argues for the necessity of major social change to ensure a liveable future for humanity. The book will be of interest to researchers and students of political economy and the history of economic thought, as well as a wider audience interested in the transformation and crises of capitalism Robert Albritton is Professor Emeritus in the Department of Political Science at York University, Canada. Richard Westra is University Professor in the Institute for Political Science at University of Opole, Poland and Adjunct Professor in the Center for Macau Studies, University of Macau. 410 0$aPalgrave Insights into Apocalypse Economics,$x2523-8116 606 $aFinance 606 $aEconomics 606 $aEconomics$xHistory 606 $aFinancial Economics 606 $aPolitical Economy and Economic Systems 606 $aHistory of Economic Thought and Methodology 615 0$aFinance. 615 0$aEconomics. 615 0$aEconomics$xHistory. 615 14$aFinancial Economics. 615 24$aPolitical Economy and Economic Systems. 615 24$aHistory of Economic Thought and Methodology. 676 $a335.412 676 $a330.122 700 $aAlbritton$b Robert$f1941-$0118177 702 $aWestra$b Richard 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 912 $a9910735397103321 996 $aA Japanese approach to stages of capitalist development$93415145 997 $aUNINA
