Radical economist Richard Wolff's most recent book, Capitalism Hits the Fan, is a passionately concerned response to current events, chronicling Wolff's brilliant public response to what he sees as an unworkable economic system. He closely monitors international economic shifts, much as Noam Chomsky does political happenings, and presents us with clear new perspectives.

"Richard Wolff is the leading social economist in the country. This book is required reading for anyone concerned about a fundamental transformation of the ailing capitalist economy." - Cornel West

"A powerful and challenging vision that takes us beyond both corporate capitalism and state socialism. Richard Wolff at his best!"
-Gar Alperovitz, author American Beyond Capitalism
