Organic Crisis and Global Capitalism: Helsinki Lecture
This is the powerpoint and text of my inaugural lecture as the Jane and Aatos Erkko Professor in Studies of Contempory Society, University of Helsinki, 30th September 2009.
Amongst other things it develops a general conception of global or "organic" crisis in order to address and criticise the failed paradigm of neo-liberal economics and to outline some of the key contradictions of global capitalism. The lecture identifies some of the key constitutive strctures of global capitalism and then concludes with a reflection on global leadership and some short suggestions on possiblities for progressive ways forward. A video of the lecture event and the question and answer session will be posted here shortly.
