Paul Mason and His Critics (Such As They Are)

Paul Mason and His Critics (Such As They Are) | Peer2Politics | Scoop.it

In a preview article at The Guardian last July for his new book Post-Capitalism (“The end of capitalism has begun,” July 17), Paul Mason — following a path previously trodden by John Holloway and by Toni Negri and Michael Hardt — argued that the emergence of a successor system to capitalism would resemble not so much the 19th and 20th century models of storming the bastions of power and seizing control of state and corporate institutions, as the earlier evolution of capitalism itself from within the interstices of feudalism. Post-capitalism will grow from many building blocks in the present system, now present only in nascent form, as the old system succumbs to chronic crisis tendencies and the seeds of the new system grow together into a whole and finally supplant the old one.
