India’s G20 Presidency is occurring at a crucial moment in the history of the world economy; as such it is important to ask what India’s role would be sitting on this high table. This compendium brings together diverse voices that are not afraid of asking difficult questions, or presenting analyses that diverge from the mainstream narratives and attempt to provide a much needed grounded analysis of the G20 framework.

The book critically examines classic Marxist theories of finance capital and uneven development, particularly through the lens of Hilferding and Luxemburg, while integrating insights from Marx, David Harvey, and Neil Smith. It focuses on South Africa's rapidly financializing economy, marked by social inequality and political strife. The author discusses potential strategies for change and transformation, emphasizing the de-growth movement and intersectional class struggle, making it relevant for political economists, researchers, and students interested in South African dynamics.
