Recenzii

"Alfredo Saad-Filho has has done Marxism a great favour by providing us with some of the clearest theoretical work on neoliberalism to date. The book would be appropriate for a course on international political economy, as well as in Marxist study groups. Value and Crisis is one of the finest works of Marxist scholarship on neoliberalism, and should be studied by every student of Marxism." - Fabian Van Onzen, Lone Star College, in: Marx & Philosophy Review of Books (2019) [Full review]
