Samir Amin is, and remains, one of the world's most influential thinkers about the changing nature of capitalism and North-South relations. In this highly prescient book, originally published in 1997, he provides a powerful analysis of the new and very different era which capitalism entered following the collapse of the Soviet model, and the apparent triumph of the market and globalization.

Amin's innovative analysis of the rise of ethnicity and fundamentalism as consequences of the failure of ruling classes in the South to alter the unequal terms of globalization has profound implications that continue to resonate today. His deconstruction of the Bretton Woods institutions provides important insight into the continued difficulties in reforming them. Particularly striking for contemporary critics of neoliberalism is Amin's rejection of the apparent inevitability of globalization in its present polarising form.

A landmark work by a key contemporary thinker.
