China, the USA and Capitalism`s Last Crusade - When Survival Is All That Matters

The book "China, the USA, and Capitalism's Last Crusade" examines the rise of China and the decline of the USA from a different angle, arguing that the struggle for economic supremacy is being played out against the decline of capitalism. Briggs examines the relationship between state and capital, the historical, political, and economic rise of both the USA and China, and shows that the conflict between the two nations has little to do with cultural, historical, demographic, political, or ideological differences, but with what they have in common. Despite the portrayal of China as socialist, it functions as a capitalist economy in the globalized capitalist world.

As the sun rises on China and sets on America, the world holds its breath. China, the USA, and Capitalism's Last Crusade takes a unique perspective on the rise of China and the decline of the USA. William Briggs argues that this struggle for economic supremacy is being played out against a much bigger backdrop: the decline of the economic structure of capitalism. In this sense, the decline of the USA is portrayed as a larger economic decline in microcosm. Briggs delves into the intricate relationship between state and capital, exploring how capitalism came to dominate the world and the historical, political, and economic rise of both the USA and China. He reveals that the conflict between these two nations has little to do with cultural, historical, demographic, political, or ideological differences but rather with their shared characteristics. Despite the portrayal of China as a socialist state, it functions as a capitalist economy in the globalized capitalist world. While its journey to capitalism may have differed, the end point is the same, which is why there is such animosity, conflict, and acrimony between the two states.
