For
some time, William I. Robinson
has been one of the most adept observers of, and commentators on, global
structural change. In his latest book Can
Global Capitalism Endure? (Clarity Press, 2022), he analyses the
current crisis of overaccumulation as a result of the tendence of the falling
rate of profit. Most dangerously, in capital’s ever more desperate search for
profitable investment opportunities, global economic crisis is spilling over
into geo-political confrontation. In this blog post, I will discuss some of the
book’s key contributions.
