In this fundamental work, Samir Amin analyzes the structural crisis of the capitalist system, which he describes as having entered a phase of senility. The author argues that the destructive forces inherent in current capitalism have surpassed its constructive capacity, hindering scientific and technological progress and perpetuating the domination of the centers over the peripheries. The book proposes a necessary alternative based on the reversal of social relations of domination, advocating for a non-American 21st century where human integration is not dictated by market laws, but by a full and rich democracy.
Samir Amin was an Egyptian-French Marxian economist, political scientist and world-systems analyst. He is noted for his introduction of the term Eurocentrism in 1988 and considered a pioneer of dependency theory.
