STRACHEY writes as follows in explanation of the scope of the book: The world has just experienced an unparalleled economic crisis. Yet it has achieved no comprehension of the nature of the catastrophe. The Nature of Capitalist Crisis is an attempt to discover whether crises can be avoided under the capitalist system. Can crises be eliminated from capitalism and the system rendered stable and progressive? For if there is no room for doubt that the recurr-ence of crises, and of ever more severe crises, is inevitable under capitalism, then all sane and responsible men and women will be compelled to work for the overthrow of our present economic system. For there is no doubt that the recurrence of crises of even equal severity to that of 1929 - 1933 must result in a series of wars and destroy human civilisation."
