World EconomyKarl Marx and Friedrich Engels wrote in the Communist Manifesto (1847):
"Modern bourgeois society, with its relations of production, of exchange
and of property, a society that has conjured up such gigantic means of
production and of exchange, is like the sorcerer who is no longer able to
control the powers of the nether world whom he has called up by his
spells. [...] And how does the bourgeoisie get over these crises? On the
one hand by enforced destruction of a mass of productive forces; on the
other, by the conquest of new markets, and by the more thorough
exploitation of the old ones. That is to say, by paving the way for more
extensive and more destructive crises, and by diminishing the means
whereby crises are prevented." As these brutal effects of capitalism is
crisis, are unleashed today, the CWI stands in the Marxist tradition of
striving to understand the capitalist economy, in order to be able to
intervene successfully in the class struggle and to end the chaos of this
profit-driven society. |
