Monthly Review!
by John Bellamy Foster, editor
We're thrilled to announce that we're now carrying Monthly Review again, one of our favorite periodicals down here at Red Emma's. Sixty years old this year, Monthly Review has been a beacon for independent socialist political economy, anti-imperialism, and environmental thought that we've been sad to have not stocked for the past six months or so, due to the continuing implosion in the independent periodical distribution game.
We've also got the brand new Monthly Review press book by John Bellamy Foster and Fred Magdoff, The Great Financial Crisis: Causes and Conseqences, which synthesizes the evolving big-picture analysis of the current financial meltdown that has been appearing in the pages of Monthly Review (and which we've found to be invaluable).
Don't trust us? Here's what Immanuel Wallerstein had to say about Crisis:
“Everyone at last knows we are in a great financial crisis. Foster and Magdoff have seen it coming for some time now. If you want a clear and cogent explanation of the reality of our debt crisis and what might be done about it, this is your book.”
John Bellamy Foster is editor of Monthly Review. He is professor of sociology at the University of Oregon and author of Critique of Intelligent Design (with Brett Clark and Richard York), Naked Imperialism, Ecology Against Capitalism, Marxs Ecology, The Vulnerable Planet, and The Theory of Monopoly Capitalism.
Fred Magdoff taught at the University of Vermont in Burlington, is a director of the Monthly Review Foundation, and has written on political economy for many years. He is co-editor of the book Hungry for Profit: The Agribusiness Threat to Farmers, Food, and the Environment (with John Bellamy Foster and Frederick H. Buttel).
