Endorsements: "...[a] thought-provoking collection on contemporary austerity and the attack on labour reveals how divergent interpretations of capitalist crisis frame different understandings of the contemporary crisis of the workers' movement." -  Bryan D. Palmer  is Canada Research Chair at Trent University, author of  James P. Cannon and the Origins of the American Revolutionary Left, 1890-1928 and Editor of  Labour/Le Travail.
