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

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Meszaros, Istvan, PUBLISHER: Monthly Review Press, IstvAn MeszAros's bold new study analyzes ong>theong> historical choices facing us at ong>theong> outset ong>ofong> ong>theong> new millennium. Drawing on ong>theong> ong>theong>oretical arguments ong>ofong> his monumental and widely-acclaimed work, Beyond Capital, MA(c)szAros shows that ong>theong> economic boom ong>ofong> ong>theong> s was built not only on ong>theong> foundation ong>ofong> new, digital technologies but also on a new social and ethical basis. In ong>theong> global quest for prong>ofong>it, capitalism has abandoned its claims to serve a larger historical cause. Even in ong>theong> wealthiest capitalist economies, unemployment has become structural and conditions ong>ofong> life have become more onerous for most ong>ofong> ong>theong> population. ong>Theong> failure ong>ofong> capitalism's historical mission is most evident in ong>theong> end ong>ofong> ong>theong> project ong>ofong> "Third World modernization" so essential to ong>theong> claims ong>ofong> U.S. global power to represent an advance on old-style imperialism.

MA(c)szAros shows how this process is rooted in ong>theong> historical logic ong>ofong> contemporary capitalism, and is neiong>theong>r accidental nor temporary. In ong>theong> process, he gives new meaning and urgency to ong>theong> alternatives posed by Rosa Luxemburg at ong>theong> beginning ong>ofong> ong>theong> 20th century: socialism or barbarism. MA(c)szAros also explores ong>theong> conditions for ong>theong> emergence ong>ofong> a radical alternative to capitalism, arguing that a critical re-examination ong>ofong> earlier movements and struggles is an essential task for ong>theong> emergence ong>ofong> such an alternative. As a sequel to his essay, an extended interview deals with more reflectively with ong>theong> main categories underlying his analysis and relates it to developments within ong>theong> broader analysis ong>ofong> modern society.
