Economic History and the 'East Wind: Challenges to Eurocentrism
The decline of Western dominance over the capitalist world system and the concurrent rise of Asia demand a deconstruction of the accepted wisdom of economic history. Understanding the legacy of Eurocentrism in both the rise of capitalism and its historiography is necessary if we are to challenge the dominant discourse and ideological assumptions of the so-called "European miracle."Click here to purchase a PDF version of this article at the Monthl…
Faux Internationalism and Really Existing Imperialism
If truth is the first casualty of war, military intervention in the name of humanitarian ideals should likewise be the subject of skepticism.

The reason for this ambivalence is that, while the survivors of the Nazi genocide celebrated the creation of a Jewish state in 1948, few were aware at the time of the human costs and injustices that had been, were being, and would be perpetrated against Palestinian Arabs in ou…

Understanding Capitalism: Crises and Passive Revolutions
This article has two objectives: First, it attempts to provide a framework for understanding capitalism's resilient adaptability through analysing the roles of liberal democracy and ecological environmentalism. Both are conceptualised as capitalism's passive revolutions in response to emerging crises – processes of constituting and reconstituting conditions for production and reproduction. Liberal democracy is seen as a political restructuring st…
