Les contradictions et les antagonismes propres au capitalisme mondialisé et leurs menaces pour l’humanité
François Chesnais
Around 1990-1992, world capitalism opened for itself a new period of expansion, marked in
particular by the incorporation of China. But the movement whereby “capitalist production
overcomes its immanent barriers, but does so only by means which again place these barriers
in its way on a more formidable scale” is under way. New contradictions and antagonisms are
discernable, alongside earlier ones. The consequences of the relationship between “man and
nature” developed under capitalism, will now impinge on the accumulation process directly
and indirectly. Given the external economic foundations of US hegemony, the scale on which
it has accumulated fictitious capital and its dependency on energy, the situation is ripe with
financial crises and with military conflict.
