Re: W(h)ither Capitalism? (none / 1)

That's a core issue, of course. Do we even have real agreement on what form of capitalism we currently have?

Re: W(h)ither Capitalism? (4.00 / 4)

No, and this fact is deliberately used to muddy the waters. Far-right ideologues have no problem happily jumping from the first definition (which they'll offer as defence of capitalism), to the third definition (which is used to attack regulation as being anti-capitalist).

Re: W(h)ither Capitalism? (none / 1)

like any tool, it can be used well or not.

exploitative capitalism is the problem, or perhaps it's the degree. nature responds quite favourably to being exploited wisely, gouged not so much.

also.
