The Great Recession has prompted a reassessment of the specific mode of capitalist accumulation that achieved dominance in the era of globalization. Yet just about all of this literature has focused on one of two issues: why things went wrong, and what we need to do in order to return the system to stability. Outside of a contingent of radical socialists on the fringes of the debate, virtually no one questioned whether capitalism could continue. In Does Capitalism Have a Future?, the prominent theorist Georgi Derleugian has gathered together a quintet of eminent macrosociologists to assess whether the capitalist system can survive.
The prevalent common wisdom, for all its current gloom, nevertheless safely assumes that capitalism cannot break down permanently because there is no alternative. The authors shatter this assumption, arguing that this generalization is not supported by theory but is rather an outgrowth of the optimistic nineteenth-century claim that human history ascends through stages to an enlightened equilibrium of liberal capitalism. Yet as they point out, just about all major historical systems have broken down in the end (e.g., the Roman empire). In the modern epoch there have been several cataclysmic events-notably the French revolution, World War I, and the collapse of the Soviet bloc-that came to pass mainly because contemporary political elites had spectacularly failed to calculate the consequences of the processes they presumed to govern. At present, none of our governing elites and very few of our intellectuals can fathom an ending to our current reigning system. Considering whether a collapse is possible is the task that the quintet-Derleugian, Michael Mann, Randall Collins, Craig Calhoun, and Immanuel Wallerstein-sets out to explore. While all of the contributors arrive at different conclusions, they are in constant dialogue with each other and therefore able to construct relatively seamless-if open-ended-whole. For instance, Wallerstein (who accurately predicted the collapse of the Soviet system in 1979) and Collins, identify fatal structural faults in twenty-first century capitalism. Mann, on the other hand, does not think that there is any serious alternative to the market dynamic, but he does identify other serious threats to the system, including environmental degradation. Calhoun and Derluguian are more circumspect and focus on the role of politics in steering the system toward either revival or collapse.
This most ambitious of books, written by the highest caliber of sociologists, asks the biggest of questions: are we on the cusp of a radical world historical shift or not?
一直以来就被教育,共产主义将代替资本主义,而最终实现大一同。但是似乎这个远景实在是太远。一是资本主义有它自身的优良品质:纠错、改进、调整、适当妥协,在更高层次上形成一个新的平衡;二是资本主义也在与社会主义并行发展中,吸收着改良的先进理念,不断地改进、完善着...
评分又见沃勒斯坦。这个西方的左派,给了我们很多别样的左派观点。不得不说,马克思主义者们 ,不管他们的立场和论点多么不一样,有一点是共同的,就是对资本主义有一种启示录里描述的、科幻电影了演的,那种深深的末世情怀。这种情怀,在列宁的帝国主义终归要灭亡那里,已经得到完...
评分为了G20我所住的城市杭州严阵以待,各种安保的段子也就不多说了。今天刚好在微信朋友圈内读到一篇关于上海地铁安检的文章,吐槽不止。据说在上海当初的安检是几年前为了世博所设立的,但世博结束后这样的特殊状况竟然被保留下来成为了常态。这一关于世博的说法貌似和G20有亲缘...
