About the Book

"Clairmont's classic of the 1960s, The Rise and Fall of Economic Liberalism has just been republished with a long new introduction...a blockbuster, physically and mentally...Clairmont's great strength is that he not only itemises all the numerous dimensions of the transnationalisation of capital, but also integrates them into a functional whole, and assesses their impact on the world. consequently, the book ends not with a whimper, but a big bang, so fasten your seat belts when you start to read it." Ted Wheelwright, Transnational Centre, University of Sydney
