Empire of Capital by Ellen Meiksins Wood
In this era of 'globalization', we hear a great deal about a 'new imperialism', the hegemony of global capital and its chief enforcer, the US. Today, with the US promising an endless 'war against terrorism' and a policy of 'pre-emptive defence', this notion seems more plausible than ever.
A splendid book-- Eric Hobsbawm

The best articulation of the secular Left's critique of global capital. * Tikkun *
... a timely book ... a powerful antidote to one of the afflictions of the interregnum, the belief that appearance is everything. * London Review of Books *
The most compelling account yet of imperialism in its current phase. -- Robert Brenner
