La crisi com a triomf del capitalisme

Synopsis of La crisi com a triomf del capitalisme

In 'The Crisis as a Triumph of Capitalism,' Josep Fontana offers a Marxist analysis of the current economic crisis, arguing that it is another stage in a process of dismantling the welfare state that began in the 1970s. Through twelve texts, Fontana examines critical moments of the last hundred years to explain the present, the origin of the current situation, and the fate of revolutionary utopias. The author questions the prevailing view that considers the crisis as a momentary parenthesis caused by natural economic problems, showing that political decisions are the origin of the 21st century crisis.
