Description

What is structural genocide? -- The logic of capital -- Structural genocide: the cases of Mexico and India -- Structural genocide: the case of Sub-Saharan Africa -- The truly inconvenient truth -- Legitimizing the illegitimate -- The socialist alternative.;In the wake of the global financial crisis and ongoing savage government spending cuts across the world, Garry Leech addresses a pressing topic: the nature of contemporary capitalism and how it generates inequality and structural violence. Essential and eye-opening, Capitalism: A Structural Genocide questions the legitimacy of a system that results in such large-scale human suffering, while going beyond mere critique to offer a more egalitarian, democratic and sustainable global alternative.
