"Writings in 1982 four of the foremost theoreticians of the world economy set out their understanding of the long-term dynamics of global capitalism. Dismissing the still-existing Soviet Union as a "paper tiger" they focused instead on the contradictions of the capitalist world-economy and produced work that canvassed the key forces that have dominated the ends of the twentieth and start of the twenty first centuries."
