Back to topMichael Roberts will analyse the current phase of the world capitalist crisis and Britain’s place within it. The major economies of the world are stagnating in the 2020s. Poverty rates are rising and inequalities of income and wealth are increasing. Global warming is accelerating. And now Trump has launched a trade war against everybody to 'make America great again'.
