Comments
on the book Globalization and Technocapitalism: The Political Economy of Corporate Power
and Technological Domination
(from the book’s cover)
“We
hear about the ‘knowledge economy’, watch the processes of financialization
wreak havoc, grow concerned about the increasing involvement of corporations in
all aspects of life. Suarez-Villa shows
how these phenomena of 21st century capitalism are related,
connecting them into a powerful theoretical framework. Refreshingly clear, despite the nuanced and
sophisticated analyses he develops, his work is well-grounded in careful
research and the broader literature.
This is a ground-breaking work delivering a theory of contemporary
capitalism that is at once original, persuasive, elegantly articulated, and
likely correct.”

“Globalization and Technocapitalism
is a must-read for anyone concerned with understanding the crisis of
contemporary capitalism. Luis
Suarez-Villa has combined immense research with acute analysis to produce one
of the most important books in years.”
