"The crisis of global capitalism that has unfolded since 2008 is more than an economic
crisis. It is structural and multidimensional. The sequence of events that have taken
place in its aftermath show that we are entering a world that is very different from
the social and economic conditions that characterized the rise of global, informational
capitalism in the preceding three decades. The policies and strategies that intended
to manage the crisis-with mixed results depending on the country-may usher in a distinctly
different economic and institutional system, as the New Deal, the construction of
the European Welfare State, and the Bretton Woods global financial architecture all
gave rise to a new form of capitalism in the aftermath of the 1930s Depression, and
World War II. This volume examines the cultures and institutions at the root of the
crisis, as well as the conflicts and debates that lead to a new social landscape,
including the rise of alternative economic cultures expressed in the social movements
occupying Wall Street. The book presents the results of a shared project of reflection
by an interdisciplinary group of researchers from around the world. It contends that
there is no quick fix to the current financial and political system. Life beyond the
crisis requires a transformation of the mindset that led to bankruptcy and despair,
and to economies and societies based on an unsustainable model of speculative finance
and political irresponsibility. The book explains why and explores the contours of
the world emerging in the aftermath of the crisis."--Publisher's website
