CAPITALISM AND DEMOCRACY

In: Monthly review: an independent socialist magazine, Band 32, Heft 2, S. 27-32

Abstract

COMPATIBILITY OF CAPITALISM AND DEMOCRACY ARE CONSIDERED, BOTH THEORETICALLY AND IN TERMS OF THE FUTURE OF LARGE INDUSTRIALIZED WESTERN DEMOCRACIES. THE CONTRADICTION BETWEEN THE 2 SYSTEMS, AS ARTICULATED BY MARX, IS DESCRIBED, AND THE AUTHOR SUGGESTS THAT THE PERIOD OF ECONOMIC EXPANSION HAVING ENDED AND CONTINUING CRISES BEING THE NEW REALITY, PROSPECTS FOR CAPITALIST-DEMOCRATIC COHESION ARE BAD.
