The book's argument does not rely on ideologies, scapegoats, or heroes. more than anything, Disassembly Required is about a kind of common sense that's become hard to escape--a common sense of privatization, austerity, and financialization that has invaded virtually every aspect of our lives and communities. 2008 gave many of us a remarkable window toward something different, Mann says, but we don't need to wait for another market crash to find a way out of capitalism.--Sam Ross-Brown, Utne

An essential handbook for understanding 'actually existing' capitalism, and thus the world as it really is--rather than as it is theorized and justified by the dissembling high priests of mainstream academia, policy, and politics.--Christian Parenti, Tropic of Chaos

A brilliantly lucid book. Mann illuminates the basic principles of modern capitalism, their expressions in contemporary economies and states, and their devastating socio-ecological consequences for working people everywhere. This is a must-read if we are to envision ways of organizing our common planetary existence that are not based upon the illusory promises of market fundamentalism and the suicidal ideology of endless economic growth.--Neil Brenner, New State Spaces
