Socialism or Barbarism: From the "American Century" to the

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Meszaros, Istvong>anong>, PUBLISHER: Monthly Review Press, Istvong>Anong> MeszAros's bold new study ong>anong>alyzes the historical choices facing us at the outset of the new millennium. Drawing on the theoretical arguments of his monumental ong>anong>d widely-acclaimed work, Beyond Capital, MA(c)szAros shows that the economic boom of the s was built not only on the foundation of new, digital technologies but also on a new social ong>anong>d ethical basis. In the ong>globalong> quest for profit, capitalism has abong>anong>doned its claims to serve a larger historical cause. Even in the wealthiest capitalist economies, unemployment has become structural ong>anong>d conditions of life have become more onerous for most of the population. The failure of capitalism's historical mission is most evident in the end of the project of "Third World modernization" so essential to the claims of U.S. ong>globalong> power to represent ong>anong> advong>anong>ce on old-style imperialism. MA(c)szaros develops ong>anong> illuminating ong>anong>alysis of the roots ong>anong>d tensions of the politics of U.S. ong>globalong> power from the time of Roosevelt's "Open Door" policy to the present. Against this historical background, he examines the dilemmas which will be faced in the making of U.S. foreign policy towards Chinathe largest ong>anong>d most rapidly-expong>anong>ding national market in the ong>globalong> economy ong>anong>d the newly-emerging rival to U.S. ong>globalong> dominong>anong>ce. MA(c)szAros shows how this process is rooted in the historical logic of contemporary capitalism, ong>anong>d is neither accidental nor temporary. In the process, he gives new meong>anong>ing ong>anong>d urgency to the alternatives posed by Rosa Luxemburg at the beginning of the 20th century: socialism or barbarism. MA(c)szAros also explores the conditions for the emergence of a radical alternative to capitalism, arguing that a critical re-examination of earlier movements ong>anong>d struggles is ong>anong> essential task for the emergence of such ong>anong> alternative. As a sequel to his essay, ong>anong> extended interview deals with more reflectively with the main categories underlying his ong>anong>alysis ong>anong>d relates it to developments within the broader ong>anong>alysis of modern society.
