| June, 2009 | Leo Panitch | Thoroughly Modern Marx | HTML | |
| The economic crisis has spawned a resurgence of interest in Karl Marx. Worldwide sales of Das Kapital have shot up (one lone German publisher sold thousands of copies in 2008, compared with 100 the year before), a measure of a crisis so broad in scope and devastation that it has global capitalism—and its high priests—in an ideological tailspin. | ||||

| Dec, 2007 | Gregory Albo | Neoliberalism and the Discontented | ||
| When neoliberalism made its debut as a political project at the end of the 1970s, it was taken for granted in most quarters of the Left that it was neither politically nor economically sustainable. The emerging New Right regimes of Ronald Reagan, Margaret Thatcher, Helmut Kohl and Brian Mulroney could intensify class conflict and spread the ideology of market populism, it was suggested, but they would leave no enduring institutional or political legacy. | ||||

| Aug 26, 2007 | Greg Albo | "Turbulence: Financial Capital and the Credit Crisis" One of the central features of neoliberal globalization has been the growth of complex financial markets. These have included a vast expansion of credit markets, and the growth of derivatives trading in risk that has underpinned the expansion. In the last months, the squeeze on workers' incomes and a mild economic slowdown has caused a crisis in mortgage lending for housing. This in turn has expanded into wider turbulence in financial markets over the last month. The central banks in Canada and internationally have intervened massively to support liquidity for financial capital. This discussion will explain some of the features of these new structures of accumulation and credit, and some of the wider economic and political issues for social struggle in the coming period. By Greg Albo, Socialist Project activist and teacher of Political Economy at York University, Toronto. Part I audio - (22:46): Current crisis; development of complex credit; circulation of capital. |
