John McMurtry was Professor of Philosophy at the University of Guelph and a Fellow of the Royal Society of Canada. He is the author of the multi-volume Philosophy and World Problems, written for the UNESCO Encyclopaedia of Life Support Systems, Value Wars, and The Cancer Stage of Capitalism.
'McMurtry's vision is a panoramic, encyclopedic, and breathtakingly
original one, imbued with both high reason and (com)passion'
*Professor Rajani K. Kanth, Fellow, Harvard University*
'Any entity that defines itself through exponential growth, be it a
cancer tumour, the financial system or a runaway nuclear reaction,
can only have one outcome: catastrophic failure with the sole
chance of survival being the recognition of and response to the
disorder. McMurtry provides both the diagnosis and antidote for
this current state of our world'
*Marcel Schlaf, Professor of Chemistry, University of Guelph*
'McMurtry's profound analysis of the consequences of the
unrestrained and relentless pursuit of profits should be a source
of grave concern for everyone who cares about the survival and
reproduction of the species'
*James Fetzer, Distinguished McKnight University Professor
Emeritus, Philosophy of Science, University of Minnesota
Duluth*
'This new edition confirms McMurtry's place as the foremost social
philosopher of our time. The revised Cancer Stage of Capitalism
lays bare, in even more detail than the original, the structural
causes of global life-crises'
*Jeff Noonan, Professor of Philosophy, University of Windsor*
'Confronts and resolves the ultimate issue of our time - world
survival. The real economy is being consumed by the global
corporate cancer system at every level. Survival depends on
understanding McMurtry's classic analysis and acting on it'
*Stephen Lendman, award-winning investigative journalist and author
of How Wall Street Fleeces America*
'Once again, McMurtry is ten years ahead of everyone else'
*Giorgio Baruchello, Professor of Philosophy and Social Sciences,
University of Akureyri, and Editor of Nordicum-Mediterraneum*
'John McMurtry's work has woken us up, inspired us, and motivated
us to connect our struggle for the life-ground and the civil
commons'
*Wahu Kaara, Executive Director, Kenya Debt Relief Network
(KENDREN); African Social Forum*
'With a sharp scalpel, John McMurtry reveals the carcinogenic money
sequences invading and threatening human life and our planetary
host'
*Howard Woodhouse, Professor of Educational Foundations and
Co-Director, University of Saskatchewan Process Philosophy Research
Unit, author of Selling Out: Academic Freedom and the Corporate
Market (2010)*
'Few dare to recognise what this work diagnoses in depth - a
self-multiplying money-sequence cancer metastasising across the
world. But as a physician this work provides basic concepts of
human health which free me from the malignant paradigm to guide my
practice'
*Dr. Allan Connolly, (Past) President of Physicians for Prevention
of Nuclear War*
'McMurtry's analysis is brilliant, original, prescient, profound,
and just plain right. Now revised and updated, it is more powerful
than ever'
*Joel Bakan, author of The Corporation: The Pathological Pursuit of
Profit and Power and Childhood Under Siege: How Big Business
Targets Children, Professor of Law, University of British Columbia*
