Summary
We have previously argued that the 2008 global financial and economic crisis was a clear manifestation of an unstable and contradictory world characterized by a disjunction between (1) massive economic growth and unprecedented advances in science, technology, and medical care and (2) the widening of disparities in wealth and health within and between nations. We also argued that the global financial crisis was much more than a crisis of capitalist accumulation or a necessary self-correction aided by macroeconomic intervention and bailouts.
