description: This paperback book of readings, to which 60 people (mostly social scientists) have contributed, constitutes a massive indictment of the contemporary American economic system. It is cast in Marxian teminology but stripped of some of Marx's turgidity and excess verbiage. Its central focus is the broadly conceived irrationality. It is also a plea for finding the ways and means to resolve the contradictions of advanced capitalism in favor of human society -- of decency in interpersonal relations.
