Description
Abstract
En este artículo, Michael Roberts analiza las contradicciones económicas,
ambientales y geopolíticas inherentes al sistema capitalista desde una perspectiva
histórica y comparativa. Según el economista, la Larga Depresión en la que se encuentra
sumergida la economía mundial desde hace décadas puede terminar asumiendo diversas
formas (recesiones, revolución tecnológica, cambios en el ciclo económico), o mediante
una acción política que reemplace conscientemente la formación social capitalista.
Sin embargo, las turbulencias del mundo actual también podrían, como en el pasado
imperialista que precedió a la Primera Guerra Mundial, terminar en una destrucción
menos creativa a través de la guerra. En cualquier caso, la amenaza global del cambio
climático, si no se revierten las tendencias actuales, podría incluso acabar con la vida tal
como la conocemos.
In this article, Michael Roberts analyses the economic, environmental, and geopolitical contradictions inherent in the capitalist system from a historical and comparative perspective. According to the economist, the Long Depression in which the world economy has been submerged for decades may end up assuming various forms (recessions, technological revolution, changes in the economic cycle), or through political action that consciously replaces the capitalist social formation. However, the turbulences of the world today could also, as in the imperialist past that preceded the First World War, end in creative destruction through war. In any case, the global threat of climate change, if current trends are not reversed, could even end life as we know it.
