‘How Will Capitalism End?’ – Wolfgang Streeck . Historian Adam Tooze delves into Wolfgang Streeck in this week’s @londonreviewofbooks: “It has been said that it is easier to imagine the end of the world than the end of capitalism: Streeck believes we may one day witness the proof of that. Capitalism will end not because it faces serious opposition but because over the course of the coming decades and centuries it can be relied on to consume and destroy its own foundations… ‘Life in a society of this kind,’ [Streeck] writes, ‘demands constant improvisation, forcing individuals to substitute strategy for structure, and offers rich opportunities to oligarchs and warlords while imposing uncertainty and insecurity on all others, in some ways like the long interregnum that began in the fifth century CE and is now called the Dark Age.” Heavy! You can find this review in the London Review of Books and many other great magazines now available at Libreria
