yet another here praised
"Robert Biel's The Entropy of Capitalism
is a wonderfully accessible, path-breaking work of political economy,
indispensable for understanding our times. It brilliantly combines
Marxist with dynamical systems theory to argue that
capitalism/imperialism is literally in the throes of its demise."
"...brilliantly combines Marxist with dynamical systems theory...."
brilliantly ...get that ? brilliantly ...a must read by pinkos of all shades
"The project of applying general systems theory to social sciences
is crucial in today’s crisis when social and ecological systems clash. "
herr Biel's latest book
" concretely demonstrates the necessity of a Marxist approach to this challenge
notably in asserting agency (struggle) as against determinism. "
".. shows how Marxism can be reinvigorated from a systems perspective. "
"Drawing on his experience in both
international systems and low-input agriculture
.... explores the interaction of social and physical systems
using the conceptual tools of thermodynamics and information"
" the early
twenty-first century...a period when capitalism starts parasitising
on the chaos it itself creates
notably in the link between
the two sides of imperialism:
militarism (the ‘war on terror’) and speculative finance capital."
gotta have me a copy of that text .... prontooooo ...baby !!!
these one off wizards
these sorcerers of forecasted end times
spring up in the common monotonic fields of shared idiocy
like the indian paint brush
can we fault them for thriving by flash and splash
we all gotta make ends meet somehow
why not this way ??
or any handful of these avenues to a gooder future
