The Contagion of Capital
buy this issue We are extremely pleased to announce that John Bellamy Foster, editor of Monthly Review, has won the prestigious Deutscher Memorial Prize for 2020 for his The Return of Nature: Socialism and Ecology
Global Commodity Chains and the New Imperialism
To comprehend twenty-first-century imperialism we must go beyond analysis of the nation-state to a systematic investigation of the increasing global reach of multinational corporations or the role of the global labor arbitrage. At issue is the way in which today's global monopolies in the center of the world economy have captured value generated by labor in the periphery within a process of unequal exchange, thus getting "more labour in exchange …
Marx's Theory of Working-Class Precariousness
As a concept, worker precariousness is far from new. It has a long history in socialist thought, where it was associated from the start with the concept of the reserve army of labor. Frederick Engels introduced the idea of precariousness in his treatment of the industrial reserve army in The Condition of the Working Class in England . Marx and Engels employed it in this same context in The Communist Manifesto , and it later became a key element i…
Beyond the Degradation of Labor
Harry Braverman's Labor and Monopoly Capital, first published forty years ago in 1974, was unquestionably the work that, in the words of historian Bryan Palmer, "literally christened the emerging field of labor process studies." In the four decades since its appearance Braverman's book has continued to play a central role in debates on workers' struggles within industry, remaining indispensable to all attempts at in-depth critique in this area...…

The Internationalization of Monopoly Capital
In a 1997 article entitled "More (or Less) on Globalization," Paul Sweezy referred to "the three most important underlying trends in the recent history of capitalism, the period beginning with the recession of 1974-75: (1) the slowing down of the overall rate of growth; (2) the worldwide proliferation of monopolistic (or oligopolistic) multinational corporations; and (3) what may be called the financialization of the capital accumulation process.…
Monopoly and Competition in Twenty-First Century Capitalism
A striking paradox animates political economy in our times. On the one hand, mainstream economics and much of left economics discuss our era as one of intense and increased competition among businesses, now on a global scale. It is a matter so self-evident as no longer to require empirical verification or scholarly examination. On the other hand, wherever one looks, it seems that nearly every industry is concentrated into fewer and fewer hands. F…
The Global Reserve Army of Labor and the New Imperialism
In the last few decades there has been an enormous shift in the capitalist economy in the direction of the globalization of production. Much of the increase in manufacturing and even services production that would have formerly taken place in the global North—as well as a portion of the North's preexisting production—is now being offshored to the global South, where it is feeding the rapid industrialization of a handful of emerging economies. It …
The Penal State in an Age of Crisis
As a rule, crime and social protest rise in periods of economic crisis in capitalist society. During times of economic and social instability, the well-to-do become increasingly fearful of the general population, more disposed to adopt harsh measures to safeguard their positions at the apex of the social pyramid. The slowdown in the economic growth rate of U.S. capitalism beginning in the late 1960s and early 1970s—converging with the emergence o…
Environmental Organizations and Communication Praxis
Environmental organizations (EOs) in the United States display a diverse range of environmental identities and vary in terms of organizational resources, influencing not only the environmental issues that they address but also the methods that they use to address them. Our study investigates the strategies and practices EOs use to communicate with their membership, recruit new participants, and develop alliances with other EOs. This article explo…
