The business of imperial conflict: Why capitalism needs war. Maurizio Lazzarato’s War and Money explores the connections between capitalist expansion, international economic conflict, and war, via an analysis of the imperialism of the American dollar. He examines why contemporary left-wing theorists such as Michel Foucault and Antonio Negri have failed to recognize war as a fundamental aspect of capitalism. Renewed readings of Marx, Lenin, and Rosa Luxemburg argue for class struggle against capitalist war as a fundamental aspect of leftist theory.

In ihrer jüngsten Zuspitzung hat die Finanzkrise zu einer Sklerose politischer Entscheidungsprozesse, zu einer regelrechten Krise des Regierens geführt: Von den hektischen Verhandlungen über die Rettung von Lehman Brothers im September 2008 bis zu den Diktaten europäischer Krisenpolitik haben Expertenkomitees, improvisierte Gremien oder : roikas9 die Regierungsgeschäfte übernommen und wurden ausschließlich durch außerordentliche Ereignisse und Ausnahmefälle legitimiert.

Globalizing Capital
Barry Eichengreen
Princeton University Press
The leading edges of economic thinking in the early 21st century are marked by a nascent pluralism - a positive valuing of difference and complexity - regarding the nature and evolution of human behaviour and economic organization. Economic Pluralism brings these pluralist sensibilities to the fore.

Economic Pluralism
Robert F. Garnett, Erik K. Olsen, Martha A. Starr
Routledge
In a capitalist system, consumers, investors, and corporations orient their activities toward a future that contains opportunities and risks. How actors assess uncertainty is a problem that economists have tried to solve through general equilibrium and rational expectations theory. Powerful as these analytical tools are, they underestimate the future's unknowability by assuming that markets, in the aggregate, correctly forecast what is to come.
