The End Of Capitalism (As We Knew It): A Feminist Critique of Political Economy

By J.K. Gibson-Graham

Book Overview

In the mid-1990s, at the height of academic discussion about the inevitability of capitalist globalization, J. K.

This new edition includes an introduction in which the authors address critical responses to The End of Capitalism and outline the economic research and activism they have been engaged in since the book was first published.
