Educação e a crise estrutural do capital: o caso dos Estados Unidos

Perspectiva, Apr 4, 2013

Para tal fi m, apresenta os pressupostos da política educacional e os desdobramentos e consequências para a educação pública -a partir de uma perspectiva histórica -no contexto da crise estrutural do capital nos Estados Unidos. Explicita-se a crise estrutural associada a uma nova fase do capitalismo: o capital monopolista-fi nanceiro, caracterizada por: (1) estagnação econômica nas economias capitalistas desenvolvidas; (2) uma mudança dramática em direção à fi nanceirização, as bolhas especulativas como meio de expansão econômica; e (3) a rápida concentração (e monopolização) de capital em uma escala global, mostrando, como uma consequência do lento crescimento endêmico para as economias desenvolvidas, que as grandes corporações que dominam a economia mundial atual são obrigadas a procurar novos mercados para investimento, fora de suas áreas tradicionais de atuação, levando à aquisição e privatização de elementos-chave da administração do Estado. A contrapartida política do capital monopolista-fi nanceiro é, portanto, a reestruturação neoliberal, em que o Estado é cada vez mais ocupado por interesses privados. Apresentando diversos autores da área da economia e com base em Marx -o texto vai informando a relação de degradação e desvalorização da educação pública. Finaliza suas análises indicando a necessidade de uma longa revolução, para criar, entre outras coisas, uma nova educação ligada à comunidade, e desenvolvida a partir das necessidades reais das pessoas.

Multinational Corporations and the Globalization of Monopoly Capital: From the 1960s to the Present

Monthly Review, Jul 9, 2016

In 1964, Paul Baran and Paul Sweezy wrote an essay entitled "Notes on the Theory of Imperialism" ... more In 1964, Paul Baran and Paul Sweezy wrote an essay entitled "Notes on the Theory of Imperialism" for a festschrift in honor of the sixty-fifth birthday of the great Polish Marxist economist Michał Kalecki. Later reprinted in Monthly Review in March 1966, the essay offered the first major analysis of multinational corporations within Marxian theory. Parts of it were incorporated into Baran and Sweezy's Monopoly Capital in 1966, two years after Baran's death. Yet for all that book's depth, "Notes on the Theory of Imperialism" provided a more complete view of their argument on the growth of multinationals. In October and November 1969, Harry Magdoff and Sweezy wrote their article "Notes on the Multinational Corporation," picking up where Baran and Sweezy had left off. That same year, Magdoff published his landmark The Age of Imperialism, which systematically extended the analysis of the U.S. economy into the international domain. 1 In the analyses of Baran, Sweezy, and Magdoff, as distinct from the dominant liberal perspective, the multinational corporation was the product of the very same process of concentration and centralization of capital that had created monopoly capital itself. Likewise, it was to be understood in the context of the class-based society of capitalism and the capitalist state. As the main mechanism of monopoly capital abroad, multinational corporations were not to be analyzed merely in terms of the firm versus the state, but as components of an imperialist world system, in which firms were bound to state structures and class societies, and stood to gain from the hierarchy of nation-states within the world capitalist system and the division between center and periphery. Not only was such an analysis more complex, dynamic, and structurally rooted than mainstream studies; it better explained the long-term evolution of global corporations. Other radical thinkers, such as Stephen Hymer, Intan Suwandi is a PhD candidate in sociology at the University of Oregon. John Bellamy Foster is the editor of Monthly Review and a professor of sociology at the University of Oregon.

Foreword to China’s Economic Dialectic: The Original Aspiration of Reform by Cheng Enfu

World Review of Political Economy, 2022

China's record of accelerated economic growth and continuous industrial revolution over the last ... more China's record of accelerated economic growth and continuous industrial revolution over the last four decades has no historical precedent. Between 1978 and 2015, while the wealthy capitalist economies at the centre of the world system stagnated in economic terms (with average growth rates per decade falling below 3 percent), China saw a thirty-fold increase in its real Gross Domestic Product (GDP) Ross 2021, 13, 178). In 1978, the per capita income in China was only one-third that of sub-Saharan Africa, with more than 800 million of the Chinese population, in 1981, living on less than $1.25 a day, in what was a predominantly agrarian country (Wen 2016; Ross 2021, 23). By 2018, China's per capita income had climbed to the world's medianincome level, and today it has eliminated absolute poverty within its borders (Wen 2018). China is now the earth's leading industrial powerhouse and the foremost global exporter of manufactured goods. Since 2014, it has been a net exporter of capital (Wen 2015, 114). It dominates some of the world's most technologically advanced industries. As Yi Wen, Economist, and Vice President of the Federal Reserve Board of St. Louis, has noted, "China compressed the roughly 150 to 200 (or more) years of revolutionary economic changes experienced by England in

Ecological Imperialism: The Curse of Capitalism

The United States is now working to expand Iraqi oil production, while securing for itself an increasingly dominant position in the control of this crucial resource as part of its larger economic and geopolitical strategy. Earlier, the same US administration that invaded Iraq had pulled out of the Kyoto Protocol, designed to limit the growth in the emissions of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases responsible for global warming-a phenomenon threatening all life as we know it. It is no wonder, then, that the last few years have seen a growth of concern about ecological imperialism, which in many eyes has become as significant as the more familiar political, economic and cultural forms of imperialism to which it is related. In 1986 Alfred Crosby published a work entitled Ecological Imperialism: The Biological Expansion of Europe, 900-1900, that described the destruction wrought on indigenous environments-most often inadvertently-by the European colonization of much of the rest of the world. 1 Old World flora and fauna introduced into New World environments experienced demographic explosions with adverse effects on native species. As the subtitle of Crosby's book suggested, his historical analysis dealt mainly with 'biological expansion' and thus had no direct concern with imperialism as a political-economic phenomenon. It did not consider how ecology might relate to the domination of the periphery of the capitalist world economy by the centre, or to rivalry between different capitalist powers. Like the infectious diseases that killed tens of millions of indigenous peoples following Columbus' landing in the Americas, ecological imperialism in this view worked as a purely biological force, following 'encounters' between

Her most famous book Silent Spring, published in 1962, is often seen as marking the birth of the modern environmental movement. Although an immense amount has been written about Carson and her work, the fact that she was objectively a "woman of the left" has often been downplayed. Today the rapidly accelerating planetary ecological crisis, which she more than anyone else alerted us to, calls for an exploration of the full critical nature of her thought and its relation to the larger revolt within science with which she was associated. Carson was first and foremost a naturalist and scientist. But she was propelled by her understanding of the destructive ecological forces at work in modern society into the role of radical critic. A recent biography attempts to capture this in its title: The Gentle Subversive. The principal causes of ecological degradation, Carson insisted, were "the gods of profit and production." The chief obstacle to a sustainable relation to the environment lay in the fact that we live "in an era dominated by industry, in which the right to make a dollar at any cost is seldom challenged." 1 Silent Spring was directed against the chemical industry and its production of deadly pesticides. Carson combined the best scientific information then available with the skills of a great writer, and had an extraordinary effect in raising public concern over this issue. Yet, despite a number of victories, Carson and those who followed in her footsteps lost the war against synthetic pesticides, which she preferred to call "biocides." Although she conceded that there were some situations where the application of such chemicals might be appropriate, she strongly believed "the elimination of the use of persistent toxic

Bruce Nelson's historical treatment of waterfront labour focuses on the first of these watersheds, with particular emphasis on the interactions between seamen and longshoremen during the "syndicalist renaissance'' of the late 1930s. William Finlay's sociological study is concerned with the effects of the second watershed-the technological revolution in cargo handling-on skill levels, job control and status hierarchies within die longshore labour process. A good sense of the dramatically different emphases of these books can be derived by comparing their dustjackets. The cover of the Nelson study shows a photograph of a march by picketing San Francisco longshoremen, during the first week of die legendary 1934 strike. Overlaid on this are photographs of two former "Aussies" who had a large impact on the US waterfront struggles of the 1930s: Harry Bridges, who was to become the dominant figure in the International Longshoremen's and Warehousemen's Union (ILWU), and Harry Hynes, a rankand-file leader of the Communist-led Marine Workers Industrial Union (MWIU)
