É Possível Um Marxismo Ecológico
As condições de produção, na verdade, não dependem do lugar em que os bens são colocados em disponibilidade, isto é, não dependem do mercado
BRICS à beira da bonança dos recursos fóssies
O sistema global de liberalização do mercado não está em equilíbrio com as exigências da natureza. Os limites naturais da era fóssil requerem uma açãocomum em um mundo dividido em muitas pequenas nações e alguns Estados nacionais fortes, mas não hegemônicos, que estão se unindo em blocoscomerciais e em alianças mais ou menos informais, tais como os BRICS, que optaram por uma estratégia neoextrativista de desenvolvimento

Was Marx right after all? A Critical Analysis of the Global Financial Crisis
A crise na qual nos encontramos em 2009 foi, de certa forma, um pouco antecipada; talvez não devesse ter sido antecipada, dada a consternação geral e instabilidade nos terríveis prejuízos que até recentemente ninguém acreditava que poderiam passar pelos parlamentos e burocracias governamentais, não somente na Alemanha como também em outros países da Europa, e até mesmo na China. Sem dúvida: as perdas financeiras devido à crise são substanciais. P…
Conceptualising globalisation: Fossil energy, global finance and the labour market
Modern globalisation can best be described as a process of expansion and acceleration whereby production, labour and the conditions of life in all regions of the world influence each other. These effects result from the massive use of fossil energy. The imminent shortage of fossil energy (‘Peak Oil’) and the disastrous climate effect of the emissions of CO 2 . are now major sources of public discontent with globalisation. Global finance, however,…
A Marxist Ecological Economics
Paul Burkett, Marxism and Ecological Economics: Toward a Red and Green Political Economy (Boston: Brill, 2006), 355 pages, hardcover, $89.00.Paul Burkett's new book, Marxism and Ecological Economics, offers in an outstanding manner evidence of the treasures in Marx's "Critique of Political Economy" and of the riches of Marxist theory accumulated in more than a hundred years of theoretical reasoning. It is an attempt to bring Marx into the new eco…

Comment What Happens When Public Goods Are Privatized
The topic “public goods” is of such paramount political importance today that the scientific advisory board of the anti-globalization network ATTAC Germany, as well as World Economy, Ecology and Development (WEED), and the Rosa Luxemburg Foundation have made it the subject of critical examination.1 Social, economic, and political security depend on public goods being readily available. In particular, the effect that the privatization of public go…

Theoretical Deliberations on Time and Space in Post-socialist Transformation
ALTVATER E. (1998) Theoretical deliberations in time and space in post-socialist transformation, Reg. Studies 32, 591-605. This paper considers the spatio-temporal dimensions of post-socialist transformation. It discusses approaches based on modernization and dependency theory and shows that neither modernization (an 'OECD-profile') nor dependency on the global division of labour are likely outcomes of transformation. Instead hybrid forms of capi…
La ecología del nuevo orden mundial
The world market unbound
The processes of 'disembedding' analysed by Karl Polanyi as part of the 'great transformation' are still continuing. They comprise not only market mechanisms but money and energy, space and time regimes. Especially under the pressures of globalization disembedded money, fossil energies, abstract time and space act as external constraints of the world market on social systems. Societies have to adjust structurally to the conditions set by compulso…
Realidades possíveis na sociedade global
Em contraste com a multiplicação de estudos de caso empíricos e considerando a distinção entre o dado e o possível, o autor defende a busca de explicações para o atrativo que determinados paradigmas de políticas de desenvolvimento exercem em períodos históricos específicos. Isto é feito mediante uma combinação de enfoques teóricos econômicos, sociológicos e políticos, sem medo da 'grande teoria'. Aplica-se de maneira sistemática a idéia de coerên…
The Foundations of Life (Nature) and the Maintenance of Life (Work): The Relation between Ecology and Economics in the Crisis
Although nature sets the conditions of economic theory from the very outset, at least in the eminence grise of the scarcity of its resources, economists have very rarely paid attention to nature's properties with the exception of only this one, namely, the scarcity of available resources. Thus usual definitions say nothing other than that nature, which is not in short supply, holds no interest for economists. It has therefore only been very recen…
The West German State Derivation Debate: The Relation betweeen Economy and Politics as a Problem of Marxist State Theory
In order to understand the peculiarities of the West German state discussion since the late 1960s, especially the state derivation debate (Staatsableitungdebatte), it is necessary to review the historical preconditions of that country's social trajectory. First, the critical and thereby also marxist tradition, which had been blossoming in the Weimar period, was interrupted by the Nazi terrors and then to boot by the postwar Stalinist vulgarizatio…

The Crisis of the World Finance System
Unemployment has become a structural feature in all industrialized countries because a worldwide decline in the profit rate has reduced the speed of economic growth. This decline has been due mainly to the decreasing productivity of capital in the course of ever increasing capital intensity of production. The crisis is perpetuated by two additional factors: (1) the decay of the order-maintaining capability of the United States; and (2) the expans…
