PRAISE FOR IN AND OUT OF CRISIS -- PREFACE -- SURVEYING THE CRISIS:IS NEOLIBERALISM OVER? -- NEOLIBERALISM, FINANCE, AND CRISES -- FINANCE, REGULATION, AND THE AMERICAN STATE -- CRISIS MANAGEMENT FROM BUSH TO OBAMA -- FROM FINANCE TO INDUSTRY: THE CRISIS IN AUTO -- LABOR'S IMPASSE AND THE LEFT -- ANOTHER WAY OUT OF THE CRISIS?

Summary: In this groundbreaking study of the financial meltdown, renowned radical political economists lay bare the roots of the crisis in the inner logic of capitalism itself. Objective and detailed, this account provocatively challenges the call for a return to a largely mythical golden age of economic regulation as a check on finance capital. In addition, it deftly illuminates how the era of neoliberal free markets has been, in practice, under-girded by state intervention on a massive scale. Arguing for genuinely transformative alternatives to capitalism, and discussing how to build the collective capacity to realize these goals, this record is a critique of the crisis and an indispensable springboard for a renewed political left.
