Globalisation? Internationalisation and Monopoly Capitalism

Historical Processes and Capitalist Dynamism

Bob Milward, Senior Lecturer in Economics, University of Central Lancashire, UK

This book acts as a welcome foil to current thinking on the concept of globalisation, which tends to be divided into two distinct camps: one which suggests that the neo-liberal model has triumphed and has no realistic alternative, and another which argues that globalisation, in its most extreme form, does not really exist, rather having evolved gradually from the very beginnings of industrialisation.

‘There is no doubt that Bob Milward has written a book which is intrinsically interesting, has a clear message, and is a useful contribution in a debate often muddied with hyperbole. . . . it deserves a wide readership from those. . . interested in making sense of persistent economic imbalances in twenty-first century capitalism.’
– Paul Benneworth, EH.Net

‘It [the book] offers a well-balanced, well-researched analysis of the present globalism from an appropriately broad-based position, both in breadth of analysis and appropriate focus, and provides a very telling account of the inadequacies of the neo-classical position.’
- Keith Cowling, University of Warwick, UK
