Debt and Disorder: International Economic Instability and U. S. Imperial Decline

Debt and Disorder: International Economic Instability and U. S. Imperial DeclineDebt and Disorder: International Economic Instability and U. S. Imperial Decline

MacEwan argues in this short book that world debt is associated with U.S. imperialism and the built-in structural features of international capitalism, and examines the case of Latin America as illustrative of his thesis. The author believes the problems associated with debt will not be resolved because policy decisions have not altered the rules of the game, only the strategy for playing. MacEwen offers a clear argument on a complex subject and insights into contradictory Third World policies, but does not convincingly establish the connection between state imperialism and debt, nor offer an alternative, viable economic model. Recommended for academic libraries.

A Marxist Philosophy of LanguageA Marxist Philosophy of Language

The purpose of this book is to give a precise meaning to the formula: English is the language of imperialism. Understanding that statement involves a critique of the dominant views of language, both in the field of linguistics (the book has a chapter criticising Chomsky’s research programme) and of the philosophy of language (the book has a chapter assessing Habermas’s philosophy of communicative action).
