About this copy
This is the first edition, first printing of O'Connor's theoretical survey of crisis within modern capitalist systems. A study in political economy and Marxist theory, it examines economic crisis theory, social and political crisis, and personality crisis. The book has been translated into multiple languages and remains widely referenced in academic circles.
Hardcover with original dust jacket featuring Max Schulze-Solde's "Zeit der Technik" (1925). The jacket design is by Miller, Craig and Cocking Design Partnership.
Condition
- Book
- Very Good – clean text block with no foxing. Binding is sound. Minor shelf wear to spine ends and light rubbing to board edges.
- Dust jacket
- Good – moderately faded to teal-green colour, particularly visible on upper cover. Light creasing along spine and edge wear consistent with normal shelf use. Price remains intact on flap. Design and artwork remain clear and legible.
This is a pre-owned book, and minor age-related wear may be present beyond what is specifically mentioned. All readily visible defects have been described to the best of my ability. Please see photos, which form part of the description.
