Samir Amin's book offers a deep analysis of the changing nature of capitalism in the age of globalization. The author examines the collapse of the Soviet model and the rise of the market, covering regions from southern Europe to the countries of the former communist bloc. Amin combines economic arguments with political perspectives, considering human history as a product of social responses to material realities. In addition, he analyzes the rise of ethnicity and fundamentalism, as well as the role of institutions such as the IMF and the World Bank in protecting the profitability of capital. Amin rejects the passive acceptance of globalization and advocates that each society negotiate its interdependence with the global economy for a pluralistic world.
