Depths below depths: the intensification, multiplication, and spread of capitalism's destructive force from Marx's time to ours
View through CrossRef
The Marxian analytical framework remains essential for the understanding of contemporary capitalism; however, given the enormous changes 4ince his time, its constitutent elements are not only in need of "updating," but the relationships between them require important shifts in emphasis. Most especially is that so regarding the relationships between "base and superstructure." It is the strength of the latter that has enabled capitalism's ongoing "triumphs," despite its ever-increasing destructiveness to humanity, society, and nature. There has always been an urgency to our work as radical economists; today's existing and threatened calamities require us to intensify and integrate our analytical and political efforts, in ways urged by Gramsci long ago.
