Includes bibliographical references (pages 204-212) and index.

China and the twenty-first-century crisis -- China: classes and class struggle -- Economic crisis: cyclical and structural -- The capitalist world system: the limit to spatial fix -- The next economic crisis -- Climate change, peak oil, and the global crisis -- The unsustainability of Chinese capitalism -- The transition.

"Analyses how political and economic imbalances in China exacerbate system collapse - and how this collapse could happen much sooner than we had previously anticipated. China is the last region into which capital can expand: the system is at its limits. Examining this, as well as ecological issues and the internal politics of the Chinese Communist Party, Minqi Li commands a narrative of China at a pivotal moment and the country's possible impact on the stability of capitalism worldwide."--Publisher information.
