Description

 							
  
 
Something dramatic happened in the late summer and autumn of 2008. The post-Cold War world came to an abrupt end. This
was the result of two conjoined crises. First, in its brief war with Georgia in August 2008, Russia asserted its
military power to halt the expansion of NATO to its very borders. Secondly, on 15 September 2008 the Wall Street
investment bank Lehman Brothers collapsed. This precipitated a severe financial crash and helped to push the world
economy into the worst slump since the 1930s.
  
  Both crises marked a severe setback for the global power of
the United States, which had driven NATO expansion and forced through the liberalization of financial markets. More
broadly they challenged the consensus that had reigned since the collapse of the Soviet bloc in 1989 that a
US-orchestrated liberal capitalist order could offer the world peace and prosperity. Already badly damaged by the Iraq
debacle, this consensus has now suffered potentially fatal blows.
  
  In Bonfire of Illusions Alex Callinicos
explores these twin crises. He traces the credit crunch that developed in 2007-8 to a much more protracted crisis of
overaccumulation and profitability that has gripped global capitalism since the late 1960s. He also confronts the
interaction between economic and geopolitical events, highlighting the new assertiveness of nation-states and analysing
the tense, complex relationship of interdependence and conflict that binds together the US and China. Finally, in
response to the revelation that the market is not the solution to the world's problems, Callinicos reviews the prospects
for alternatives to capitalism.
  
  Review
  "A superb book which exhibits engaging though authoritative
scholarship of a kind which is sadly too rare."
  Sociological Imagination
  
  "As one would expect from
Callinicos, this book is forensic in its detail and is a useful tool in the armoury of anyone who wishes to see beyond
the platitudes of the yellow press."
  Morning Star
  
  "A powerful critique; a serious engagement with
a crucial contemporary debate."
  Political Studies Review
  
  "An important book for anybody wanting an
introduction to how Marxist political economy can help to understand the times in which we live."
  Marx and
Philosophy
  
  "The crisis of 2007-9 is an event of historic importance that has affected economy, society
and politics. Callinicos analyses its causes within the broader development of capitalism in recent decades.
Particularly relevant is his stress on financialisation as well as the implications he draws regarding the balance of
imperial power across the world. Written with the author's customary skill, this is a welcome contribution from the left
to the public debate."
