Arthur MacEwan and John Miller's latest book, Economic Collapse, Economic Change: Getting to the Roots of the Crisis, seeks to explain the global economic crisis of 2008. In carrying out this inquiry, the authors divide their study into five main parts, each containing two related chapters. First, they offer an introductory overview to the so-called "Great Recession" and the book's central themes. Then, they present an economic history of the United States, from the 1930s to the emergence of the crisis. Next, they put forward an outline of the events and developments leading up to the recession. They also reflect on the implications of the crisis on the global economy, with special emphasis on the U.S.-China relations. In the fifth and final section, MacEwan and Miller consider possible solutions to the economic crisis.
