World in Crisis: A Global Analysis of Marx's Law of Profitability - Guglielmo Carchedi and Michael Roberts
World in Crisis is a collection of recent papers by Marxist economists from around the globe. Its purpose is simple.

Leaving aside for a moment the issue of “fake news” conspiracy theories circulating in the ether about the origins of the virus, that whether by accident or deliberately American laboratories engineered it themselves (with all the implications this would have on international imperialist scenarios), let us confront the problem in simple terms, based on what the theorists are saying about the possibility of coming out of this latest financial-economic crisis.
