While Tory chancellor George Osborne boasts that the British economy has turned the corner, global capitalism in fact has entered a more uncertain period. Modest recovery in the rich countries has destabilised the bigger economies of the South by sucking capital away from them. In the latest issue of International Socialism economist Michael Roberts maps the condition of the world economy five years after the crash. We also pursue the debates about the future of the left we began in the previous issue. Charlie Kimber and Alex Callinicos probe the roots of the crisis in the Socialist Workers Party and Julie Sherry anatomises the political project of Unite union leader Len McCluskey. In response to articles in our previous issue, Ed Rooksby rebuts Paul Blackledges critique of left reformism, Jane Hardy and Joseph Choonara dissect Neil Davidsons portrait of British society in the neoliberal era, and John Molyneux discusses human nature and sexuality in primitive communist societies. Nick Grant uncovers the method in Michael Goves antics as education secretary, and Simon Behrman carries out a critical survey of the thought of the Italian poststructuralist philosopher Giorgio Agamben. The journal also features debates on the role of outsourcing in maintaining capitalist profits, the Second World War and bourgeois revolutions. In our reviews section, Mona Dohle argues the World Bank has not changed its spots, John Newsinger demolishes Blairite ex-minister Chris Mullin, and Martin Empson finds much to praise in a new book on the origins of inequality.
