Varieties of Alternatives to Capitalism in Systemic Crisis (original) (raw)

The paper argues that it is high time that critical scholarship and actors go a step further beyond description of different times types of responses to the most visible financial and fiscal aspects of the present acute manifestation of systemic crisis of capitalist mode of production as such. It is demonstrated that the common feature of apparently divergent neo-Smithean and neo-Keynesian responses to present systemic crisis manifestations in all empirical varieties of national capitalism, present the implementation of policy options that equally aim to preserve the present system of contradictory capitalist production relations whicn reproduce social crises and imperialist war disasters. Paper proposes that the main task of critical scholaship is to examine varieties of the past, existing and possible future alternatives to the present system of exploitative , oppresive and life destructive capitalist social relations. The main finding of the paper is that reproduction of cyclical systemic crises can be resolved only through susbstitution of present private ownership, menagerial decision-making, market regulation and private profit motivation institutional mechanismes, with social ownership, producer's and consumer's councils' decision-making, pariticipative planning and human capacities' development motivation institutional mechanismes.
