Samir Amin

Focusing on the historical trajectory of capitalism, Samir Amin explores the persistent global polarization that hinders the peripheries from catching up with dominant centers. He argues that the decline of capitalism is intertwined with the efforts of Southern peoples to forge a new world, potentially moving towards socialism. Amin highlights the major conflicts of the 20th century and the new challenges faced in the 21st century, employing historical materialism as a framework to support activists fighting for socialism and the emancipation of Asian, African, and Latin American communities.
