Economy of capitalist society and its recurring crises

Abstract

In 2018, the two hundredth anniversary of Marx's birth will be celebrated, and around 140 years have passed since the writing of his main works. Asking about the validity of his thought is similar to asking about Darwin in biology, Freud in psychology or Einstein in physics. More important than the theoretical justification of this validity are the empirical facts and, with each economic crisis, it becomes clear that we live in a bankrupt system.
