Chris Harman: Where is capitalism going? (Part I)

Pro-capitalist commentators were supremely confident that the 1980s boom marked a decisive turning point in the fortunes of their system. Optimism continued to rise, unchecked even by the stock exchange crash of 1987. But now these same writers stare out at the wasteland of a world economy suffering the most damaging slump since the 1930s, but have no explanation of why boom turned to bust. In `Where is Capitalism going?' Chris Harman looks at the weaknesses of the 1980s boom, the seriousness of the new slump and at the relevance of Marxist theory in providing an explanation of how the one turned into the other. The first part of `Where is Capitalism going?' looks at the core of the system, the advanced capitalist states. The second part, to appear in the next issue of International Socialism, will examine the economies of Latin America, India, China and the Newly Industrialising Countries of the Pacific rim.
