Ich habe mal ein Kommentar zu Beitrag https://capitalismanddemocracy2024.weaconferences.net/papers/democracy-neoliberalism-and-financial-oligarchy/ gepostet. Mal sehen ob er (noch) live gestellt wird:

Thanks for your contribution.
It reminds me of Samir Amin’s „stay in power“ – categories ‚5 monopols‘ from his book „LES DÉFIS DE LA MONDIALISATION“.
He wrote, to „rule over others“ you need enough power (monopols) in 1. technology, 2. financial flows, 3. natural resources 4. communication and media. 5. weapons of mass destruction.
And he wrote that in a center-periphery worldsystem, the center is only as long interested in free market as it is
advantageous for the center.
So my question is:
Do you think the finance oligarchy want to get and remains the new center of a world system? And is neoliberalism really the right choice for that? Or do you think they just want to create, for what reason ever, a global, or at least in the west, total free market zone, and that they ignore the risk of being to much limited by a „forced system of economic freedom only“?
