Few people believe that Marxists gave adequate reasons for thepredicted collapse of capitalism. But can market economies and liberaldemocracies survive indefinitely Their survival depends on the solutionto at least two problems. Continued expansion must lead to depletedenvironments and shortages of resources. More importantly, thepossessive individualist attitude to property tends tohave an internalizing effect on human consciousness, separating peoplefrom one another and blinding them to certain realities. Argues thatother relations to property and other modes of consciousness arepossible and that solutions may be forthcoming.
