Paul Mason presents the main arguments of his book PostCapitalism. First, he argues that capitalism runs out of its capability to adapt to crises and second states that information technology challenges the capitalist system. In a nutshell, he argues that a society which fully exploits information technologies can't include concepts such as intellectual property, free market or private ownership. This has far-reaching consequences for the organisation of wages and work. The talk stops at minute 37.30.

Stattdessen verbleiben diese in einer Modellwelt, in der katastrophale Klimafolgen zu berechenbaren Risiken werden und politische Realitäten und Machtinteressen ausgeblendet bleiben.

Die implizite Antwort bleibt: Der Markt wird es richten. 2020 Level: beginner Die Klimakrise als Krise der Wirtschaftswissenschaften Katharina Keil und Max Wilken Economists for Future This article briefly examines Marx's profound contribution in the political-economic thought.
