Synopsis

The 2011 outburst of uprisings by the Arab peoples caught the world’s attention, and this incisive analysis shows that the current Arab uprisings are primarily anti-imperialist—rather than anticapitalist—movements. Arguing that, to take control of their future, Arab peoples need to unify in a positive and genuinely new way and struggle alongside others against capitalism and imperialism, this book also reveals how the 2011 events have shaped an alternative future.

Review

“Written in Amin's usual verve and sharp rhetorical style, Ending the Crisis of Capitalism or Ending Capitalism? examines the factors that brought about the 2008 financial collapse and explores what it advances as ‘the systemic crisis of capitalism after two decades of neoliberal globalization.’”  —Nigerian Compass on Ending the Crisis of Capitalism or Ending Capitalism?
