Capitalism's inherent contradictions: Why it drives toward crisis
Political economist Radhika Desai discusses the inherent contradictions in the capitalist mode of production: crises of overproduction, the tendency of the rate of profit to fall, and a trend toward monopolies and financialization. She also explains the difference between classical political economy and neoclassical economics.
This is a discussion of chapter 2, "Capitalism as Contradictory Value Production", of Radhika's book "Capitalism, Coronavirus and War: A Geopolitical Economy".
