Divided into four distinct parts, chapters highlight: *the relevance of value in contemporary Marxist theory, *the hegemony of the US dollar and its recent erosion, *major monetary problems currently faced by Africa as a result of colonial legacies, *alternative monetary and financial tracks being tested in Latin America, including monetary regionalization and resistance to the domination of the dollar, *the current state of national debt in the Global South, including possible solutions, *the difficulties in evaluating transnational corporate profit in the era of globalization, *the evolution of profit rates in the United States, Europe, and Latin America over the past several decades, *a study of France's rate of profit over more than a century, *fictitious and financial capital, and *the recent emergence of cryptocurrencies and some of the challenges that this entails. Connecting fundamental, theoretical, and empirical subjects with the most current scholarship on value, money, profit and capital today, this book makes sense of our increasingly interconnected global economy, highlighting key issues and proposing real-world solutions from the most knowledgeable researchers in the field.

Statement of Purpose: This RESEARCH annual is founded on analyzing society in a manner consistent with the importance of the role of class. International in scope, the annual volumes deal primarily with economic and political issues and the unity between them. Both theoretical and empirical works are included. While published papers must be appropriate for developing class analysis of society, they need not be explicitly marxist. The RESEARCH can accept longer works and thus, in addition to usual journal length papers, may be appropriate for work which is not book length, yet is substantial. For submissions, please send your paper electronically, double-spaced typed with notes as endnotes followed by a reference list, to the volume's editor or general editor. Usual practice is review by two competent persons, on a double-blind basis, within a relatively short period of time.
