The panels seek to pay tribute to Arrighi through an engagement with those dimensions of radical political economy most indebted to his work. The importance of such work is paramount in this historical moment, where we find ourselves in need of a deep understanding of capital's crises in order to make sense of this juncture and move forward from it.
