Description

This landmark text by Paul Baran and Paul Sweezy is a classic of twentieth-century radical thought, a hugely influential book that continues to shape our understanding of modern capitalism. "This book... deals with a vital area of economics, has a unique approach, is stimulating and well written. It represents the first serious attempt to extend Marx's model of competitive capitalism to the new conditions of monopoly capitalism." - Howard J. Sherman, American Economic Review
