Univ. of Cassino and Southern Lazio Lectures, Italy April – June, 2016 

　　 World Capitalism in Crisis 


                                 Guest Prof. Toshiaki Hirai





From April through June in 2016 I had the opportunity to deliver a series of lectures at the University of Cassino and Southern Lazio, Italy, and I prepared the files for them. Now, one year later, it has occurred to me that I might arrange and edit them in such a way as to produce a readable book, the table of contents which runs as follows. If you would be interested in it, you could download it from the following site:
