Creating Global Capitalism

How was the American Empire founded? How did it stand out from other imperialist powers and become the dominant power of the world, and how did it become at the axis of the globalization process? What problems occurred in the years from the Great Depression and the New Deal to the neoliberalism phase? What were the main conflict areas of the globalization process, how did the state-market relationship develop?
These are all important and comprehensive questions. There is more: How did the relationship between finance and industry evolve in the center and peripheries of the global empire? What happened in the political and legal fields as well as the economic field? Why were labor forces ineffective in the face of globalization? Did the formation of the European Union represent resistance to US leadership, or was it built on the basis of alignment with its leadership? How were Europe, Latin America, Japan, Asian countries, especially South Korea, Third World countries such as Turkey, and ultimately former socialist countries integrated into the global system?
Canadian Marxist writers Leo Panitch and Sam Gindin, who stand out with their research and activist identities, one in academia and the other in union circles, pursue these comprehensive questions. The authors, who explain "globalization", one of the most discussed concepts of our day, with all its formation stages from the end of the 19th century to the present, also show the globalization process developing under the leadership of the USA in the concrete form of all the important steps taken on the axis of the construction of this country as an imperialist power.
The Creation of Global Capitalism, which was awarded the 2013 Deutscher Prize, has an indispensable place among studies on recent history and globalization.
