Loretta Napoleoni needs no introduction. After reading "rogue economics" and "vice," I read with pleasure on Friday Republic of the week (April 23), an interview in which the author presents Maonomics , his latest work, published by Rizzoli.
aftermath of the apparent "end of history", accompanied by the equally apparent triumph of neoliberalism, Loretta Napoleoni tries to explain his provocative answer to the question many people ask today witnessing the emergence of China Who really won the Cold War? Well, the unexpected answer is Marxism.
In giving this answer, the economist adds, however, we risk being misunderstood because Marxism For us Westerners, is often synonymous with Marxism-Leninism and the failed Soviet experience.
necessarily While taking into consideration that those are the stories of exploitation of the working class of China, a country still developing, the essay tells the recent history of a China that knows no recession, thanks to " Heads-communism ", a model that has worked better than the Western one, demonstrating the flexibility to take advantage of the profound changes in the global economy.
In bleak landscape of information that is merely repeating tired vulgate Globalization and the prophets, the sages of Loretta Napoleoni offer us a unique and stimulating perspective on a crisis whose causes are often denied, but whose effects could affect the present day.
