Structural changes in Bureaucratic Capitalism after World War II (1) The cyclical crises in the golden agesolved the conflict between capital and labour over the distribution of value added per unit of labour and reinforced the self-regulating nature of capitalism. (2) The structural crisis in the 1970s destroyed the accumulation regime of the golden age and created that of neo-liberalism. (3) The subprime loan crisis was a systemic crisis that would destroy the present capitalist world system.
Systemic Crisis and Evolution of capitalism (1) Britain in the end of 19 century left the investment strategy to market. Ricardian liberalism was partially responsible. (2) The USA in the 1970s took the same strategy, choosing neo-liberalism and kicked away followers’ protectionist ITT policies. (3)The USA after 2007 Full development of IT industries requires solving demand constraints by rebuilding the link between productivity growth and wages and keeping most advanced knowledge within the country by controlling transnational corporations. The neo-liberal ideology makes these policies impossible.
