Best,

Press blurb:  In this book, John O’Regan examines the role of political
economy in the worldwide spread of English and traces the origins and
development of the dominance of English to the endless accumulation of
capital in a capitalist world-system.

O’Regan combines Marxist perspectives of capital accumulation with
world-systems analysis, international political economy, and studies of
imperialism and empire to present a historical account of the ‘free riding’
of English upon the global capital networks of the capitalist world-system.
Relevant disciplinary perspectives on global English are examined in this
light, including superdiversity, translanguaging, translingual practice,
trans-spatiality, language commodification, World Englishes and English as
a Lingua Franca. *Global English and Political Economy *presents an
original historical and interdisciplinary interpretation of the global
ascent of English, while also raising important theoretical and practical
questions for perspectives which suggest that the time of the traditional
models of English is past.

Providing an introduction to key theoretical perspectives in political
economy, this book is essential reading for advanced students and
researchers in applied linguistics, World Englishes and related fields of
study.
