“Les contradiccions del capitalisme”: Josep Manel Busqueta
La crisi actual no és un fenomen natural ni el resultat del comportament pervers de quatre banquers maldestres, sinó la conseqüència més dramàtica de les pròpies contradiccions del sistema capitalista. Aquesta és la tesi que defensa l’economista Josep Manel Busqueta al llibre “L’hora dels voltors. La crisi explicada a una ciutadania estafada“.

“The environmental crisis and capitalism”: Fred Magdoff and Lawrence Susskind
The environmental damage being done to the earth has reached crisis proportions. Many causes have been proposed: too many people; industrial society; human ignorance or inability to control themselves; human nature (greed); and a “perpetual growth philosophy.” Discussion will be focused on how the inner logic and normal functioning of our economic system is contributing to this crisis.
Fred Magdoff is professor emeritus of plant and soil science at the University of Vermont. He is author of numerous articles and books on agriculture, world food problems, and the environment. He is coauthor with John Bellamy Foster of What Every Environmentalist Needs to Know About Capitalism (2011).

“Confesiones de un marxista errático”: Yanis Varoufakis
Cuando hice mi tesis doctoral, conscientemente elegí concentrarme en un método, conforme al cual no sólo andaba Marx lisa y llanamente errado, sino que era irrelevante. Cuando conseguí mi primer puesto como lector en teoría económica en Gran Bretaña, el contrato implícito entre mi universidad y yo era que el tipo de teoría económica que enseñaría a nuestros estudiantes estaría tan alejado del marxismo como fuera humanamente posible. Cuando me trasladé a Australia en 1988, y sin yo saberlo, fui reclutado por el sector derechista del Departamento de Teoría Económica de la Universidad de Sidney, a fin de cerrarle el paso a otro candidato, cuyo director de tesis tenía (¡fundadisima!) fama de ser un peligroso marxista. Luego me traslade a Grecia, en donde, de la forma más insensata, llegué a ser, más o menos oficialmente, asesor de George Papandreu, el hombre cuyo gobierno habría de ser el intermediario en la transición hacia el infierno unos años después. Cuando dimití de ese cargo en 2006, consciente del desastre que se avecinaba, pasé a enseñar en la Universidad de Atenas, y a enseñar -lo admito- asuntos tan vulgarmente burgueses como Teoría de los Juegos y Microeconomía a un gran número de estudiantes griegos de primer ciclo, quienes (a diferencia de nuestros bravos y excelentemente informados estudiantes de posgrado) permanecían conmovedoramente ciegos ante la catástrofe que se les venía encima. Antes, en 2002, Joseph Halevi y yo habíamos tratado de hacer sonar una alarma, pero no conseguimos resonancia. Aun cuando en 2006 hice lo que en mi mano estaba para alertar a la sociedad griega -y a cualquiera que quisiera escuchar- del desastre en ciernes, seguí formando parte vergonzosamente de la “sociedad respetable” en Europa, y no me eché a la calle ni una sola vez.
“Spectres and struggles”: Michael A. Lebowitz
May 3, 2013 — Links International Journal of Socialist Renewal — The above talk was presented in Zagreb, Croatia, at a conference organised by the Centre of Workers’ Studies. (More videos are available at

.)
A spectre is haunting the working class of Europe (both east and west) and the working class of developed capitalism in general. That spectre is the spectre of communism. For the working class, that frightful hobgoblin is a society of little freedom, a society of workers without power (in the workplace or community) and a society where decisions are made at the top by a vanguard party which views itself as the sole repository of truth. Of course, this was not what communism meant for Karl Marx and Frederick Engels nor, indeed, for Lenin.
But now in the 21st century, it is not the 19th century dream that the working class thinks about. Rather, it is the experience of the 20th century. That memory (both real and exaggerated) has seized the minds of masses; it acts therefore as a material force not easily dissolved by the mantra, “Communism! Communism!”, chanted by philosophers and other magicians of the word.
We need a new vision, a new dream. As Hugo Chavez declared in Porto Alegre in 2005, “We have to re-invent socialism.”

“Primitive Accumulation: From Adam Smith to Angela Merkel”: Michael Perelman
The barbaric wave of austerity crashing across Europe and much of the rest of the world both resembles and differs from the classical period of primitive accumulation which deprived masses of people of their means of production. Although landgrabs continue in this modern version of primitive accumulation, the central thrust is the destruction of all public wealth in the interest of capital. Another difference is that classical political accumulation reflected the optimism associated with a new form of making wealth, while viciousness of modern primitive accumulation seems to be an attempt to recapture the vitality of early capitalism. However, despite the short-term benefits of such cannibalistic policies for capital, in the end the result will be detrimental to the capitalists, as well as the rest of society.
Michael Perelman is a Marxist economist and economic historian and a professor of economics at California State University, Chico. He has has written numerous books and academic articles on the topic of primitive accumulation, including The Invention of Capitalism: The Secret History of Primitive Accumulation (2000).

“The Incoherence of ‘Transitional Society’ as a Marxian Concept”: Andrew Kliman
I will examine two key aspects of Evgeny Preobrazhensky’s concept of ‘primitive socialist accumulation’: the notions that (a) the essential differences between socialism and capitalism are nationalised property and economic planning, and that (b) a transition from capitalism to socialism can take place through the extension of nationalised property and economic planning. Drawing on the work of Karl Marx and Raya Dunayevskaya, I will argue, first, that state property and economic planning are not the essential differences, and second, that Preobrazhensky’s conception is one example of the view that political and legal changes are the determining factors in social change. That view, I will contend, inverts Marx’s conception according to which political and legal relations correspond to and are determined by the mode of production, not vice-versa. If this latter view is accepted, I will further argue, the idea of a transitional society between capitalism and socialism is incoherent. This does not mean that social transformation must be instantaneous; what it means is that socialism cannot exist, partly or wholly, until the mode of production is revolutionised and that this cannot take place by political and/or legal means.
