The current matrix of capital
accumulation is shifting, but what is coming?
New terms abound – plutocratic plunder, political capitalism, techno-feudalism,
techno-futurism, etc. Some see a new ‘habitation economy’ of post-industrialism
in which the provisioning of non-standardized services replaces commodity
production. Others foresee an unstable interregnum of increasingly
authoritarian states fusing with far-right movements. The common imagery is of
a capitalist class barricaded off in securitized enclaves from the disruptive
storms of climate change and the anger of dislocated and hyper-stressed working
classes.
It is important to untangle these
contending themes and identify key social trends, contradictions, and
longstanding as well as emerging social conflicts in this ‘late-stage
capitalism’. In what ways does the return of Donald Trump to the American
presidency represent this new phase of capitalism? How are these changes
being registered in state economic apparatuses, in institutional powers, and in
new economic and political practices? How is the uneven insertion of states
into the US empire and world market being reproduced and challenged in terms of
geopolitical and military primacy and through trade wars redrawing
economic zones? And where is the left scratching out new political spaces
amidst the economic ruins? These are the many questions the essays in
this volume take on.
