what's next? how long can capitalism survive?Material about the nature of capitalism. how close is it to its use-by date? Why have we described it as progressive from the perspective of the past and reactionary from the perspective of the future?
a Couldn't we live perfectly well without money? "I think that the problems with money are more or less self-solving. Marx explained this long ago, that the whole development of commodity production leads to the development of wage labour and capital, which leads to a deeper and deeper concentration of property in the hands of a few, and a larger and larger working class which has no stake in the present society and nothing to lose but their chains. That is the history of modern capitalist development, and it is the history of why Marx was so enthusiastic in his praise for the corrosive effect of money on the old communities."(Published: 2005-01-21 08:23 PM)
