Rethinkng Marxism: Brendan Cooney 2 of 2 "Crisis, Value and Marx's Order of Operations"

Rethinking Marxism Conference 2009
"Temporal Value Theory in a Moment of Crisis:
A Roundtable on the Economic Crisis"
with:
Andrew Kliman
Alan Freeman
Radhika Desai
David Calnitsky
Brendan Cooney


This was a great panel which might help viewers understand some of the debates among the left on how to properly understand the crisis. There was a good deal of agreement among the panelists on some issues like the idea that the crisis is more than a financial crisis, and that the theory of the falling rate of profit has validity in the current situation. On the other hand panelists differed starkly on the degree to which problems of demand were important in analyzing the crisis, and on what role states and other exogenous forces play in resolving crisis.

I have posted the panelists in the playlist in a different order than they spoke at the conference.
