What is Globalisation: A Systematic Marxian Account (Historical Materialism Book Series) about?

Part One examines the social state, neoliberal, catalytic state, and democratic cosmopolitan models of globalization. Each necessarily tends to function in a manner contradicting essential claims made by its leading advocates. This "immanent contradiction" provides a theoretical warrant for moving to a new position, addressing the shortcomings of the previous framework. The first three chapters of Part Two are devoted to a Marxian model of (capitalist) globalization, in which the irresolvable contradictions and social antagonisms of the capitalist global order are explicitly recognized. The final chapter is devoted to a Marxian model of (socialist) globalization, in which those contradictions and antagonism are overcome, bringing the systematic dialectic of globalization to a close. About the Author Tony Smith, Ph.D. (1980) in Philosophy, State University of New York at Stony Brook, is Professor of Philosophy at Iowa State University. He has published extensively in Marxian social theory, including The Logic of Marx's Capital and Technology and Capital in the Age of Lean Production (SUNY Press 1990, 2000). Part One of this book examines the social-state, neoliberal, catalytic-stat
