This provocative book challenges many of our ingrained assumptions
about the direction of contemporary capitalism and offers fresh
perspectives that will inform the development of a new and relevant
political economy for our times. The complex and often contradictory
world within which modern commodities are produced, sold and consumed
is set within the larger context of transnational business and
economic developments. The importance of factors such as profitability
and globalization is highlighted, and a sophisticated analysis of the
contradictions and ironies of the world of modern commodities emerges.
Trinidad provides an ideal setting for this study, given its recent
oil boom and recession and the subsequent experience of both wealth
and poverty.
