flash : "capitalism/imperialism is literally in the throes of its demise."

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
