Things To Write For Your Sister's Wedding

century. Introduction / by William Robinson.

today I bring from a material of professor of sociology and global studies at the University of California at Santa Barbara, William I. Robinson. For its extension
dosificaré the text in different parts of the original, with the translation start to fulfill my purpose of sharing with those who do not read English published some interesting materials in that language only.
I'm not a translator by profession but for years I've been reading news and analysis in English and I hope to be able to bring their best ideas into English.


Capitalism and global fascism century. Introduction
This global crisis of capitalism is unprecedented given its magnitude, its scope, including the extent of ecological degradation and social disruption. We are facing a real crisis of humanity where our survival is at stake, we have entered a period of turmoil and uncertainty, change fraught with dangers and also opportunities.
I want to discuss here the global crisis of capitalism and different policy responses to the crisis focusing on the response of the extreme right and the danger to what I call the twenty-first century fascism, particularly in the U.S.. Facing this crisis calls
an analysis of the capitalist system which has undergone a restructuring and transformation in recent decades. The present moment includes a qualitatively new phase of global capitalism or transactional whose origins date back to the seventies and is characterized by the growth of capital and transnational capitalist class (TCC *)
Transnational capital has been able to ignore, more efficiently with respect to the previous era, national restrictions of capital accumulation and thereby change dramatically in their favor the correlation of class and social forces in the world as well as undermine popular movements and working class around the world in the wake of rebellions of the sixties and seventies.
The emerging transnational capital experienced a further expansion between 1980 and 1990 with the hyper-accumulation through technology (computer science), through neoliberal policies and new forms of mobilization and exploitation of global labor force including the uprooting and displacement of millions of people especially in rural areas of third world migrants and immigrants who have become internal and transnational.
now face a much more integrated and dominant groups that have accumulated an extraordinary transnational power controlling the resources and institutions globally.
