London: Verso, 2006. First Edition. Hardcover. Fine/Near fine. First edition in book form, first printing, octavo size, 399 pp. From the jacket flap: "In this commanding survey of the world economy from 1950 to the present,a revised and newly introduced edition of his acclaimed New Left Review special report, he [Brenner] charts the turbulent post-war history of the global system and unearths the mechanism of over-production and over-competition which lie behind its long-term crisis since the early 1970's. He thereby demonstrates the thoroughly systematic factors behind wage repression, high unemployment and unequal development, and raises disturbing and far-reaching questions about the global economy's future trajectory."
