Does Capitalism Have a Future? pdf epub mobi txt 电子书 下载 2024
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?

带着课堂提问翻开此书,虽未能解决课程问题,但五位学者的论述还是给政治学小白带来不少启发。认为“资本主义崩溃”的两名学者或将资本主义视为系统,以利润的挤压出发讨论其崩溃过程,或以“技术”为切入点,探讨技术冲击下新工种或就业机会的增长率低于人力被代替率,最终导...
评分在社会主义的社会谈论资本主义,总是一叶障目,这本书的名字是《资本主义还有未来吗》,看起来似乎是对资本主义社会的怀疑和否定,但是作者确有自己独到的简介。 伊曼纽尔•沃勒斯坦是“世界体系”理论的创始人和主要代表人物,其四卷本《现代世界体系》(1974-2011),是他...
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...
评分这本书尚未出版,我之所以打星,是因为这本小书是去年在纽约大学召开的一个小型会议的文字整理,我有幸听完了整场,对内容还有印象。发言者只有五位Immanuel Wallerstein、Randall Collins、Michael Mann、Georgi Derluguian、Craig Calhoun。除了Derluguian名气稍弱(但他是沃...
