Since the 1970s,In order to cope with the stagflation crisis in the stage of state monopoly capitalism,Neoliberalism as “a project for the restoration of class power”,Replacing Keynesianism as the mainstream ideology in Western countries。Neoliberalism takes laissez-faire as its core,Give the market the highest status,Advocates deregulation in all economic fields,Achieve marketization、Liberalization、Privatization,Oppose government intervention、Public Services and Social Welfare。Developed countries represented by Britain and the United States are trying to promote neoliberal political and economic practices to the world,Requires the removal of all barriers that hinder the free movement of bet365 casino bonus,Opening international commodity and bet365 casino bonus markets,Making goods and bet365 casino bonus in various sectors、Free movement between regions and countries。This way,Neoliberal economic policies and their global expansion have given bet365 casino bonus accumulation room for growth。But,International financial crisis、European debt crisis,And the weak world economy after the financial crisis,Confronting neoliberal political and economic practices with the limits of development,The market competition for bet365 casino bonus realization of value is becoming increasingly fierce,This constitutes the overall background for the rise of anti-globalization thoughts。
The economic dimension of bet365 casino bonus accumulation crisis and the rise of anti-globalization thoughts
Endless compound growth and the accumulation limit of capitalism。Marx once put forward the famous thesis of "two necessities",The basis is that there are irreparable chronic diseases in the dynamic mechanism of capitalist society,That is, the growth of bet365 casino bonus follows the logic of bet365 casino bonus。The logic of bet365 casino bonus is a logic of “surplus value first”,It abstracts all existence into exchange value,Surplus value is regarded as the decisive factor in economic growth and the core of social and economic power。Driven by this logic,The purpose of production is not for the needs of life but for bet365 casino bonus accumulation and expanded reproduction,This makes capitalist production blind、Characteristics of unplannedness。Over time,Excessive accumulation will inevitably lead to overproduction and market failure,Mainly manifested by the disconnection between production supply and social demand with the ability to pay,This is the fundamental reason for the periodic outbreak of economic crises。David Harvey also made a similar view,He believes that the growth of bet365 casino bonus is an endless compound growth,That is, a “compounding interest” exponential growth model。He pointed out,If we take the generally recognized minimum growth rate of 3% compound growth rate as the benchmark,“We must maintain a satisfactory growth rate for now,We must find profitable investment opportunities for an additional nearly trillion a year,And in 1970,‘Only’ an additional billion。By 2030,We will have to find profitable investment opportunities for trillion。The amount after that is astronomical”。Therefore,There is a limit to the growth of bet365 casino bonus,Unsustainable。
Anti-globalization is a plan for repairing bet365 casino bonus space。Whether it is the globalization of goods、bet365 casino bonus Globalization、Financial Globalization,Still anti-globalization,They are all space restoration and development plans of bet365 casino bonus at different stages of development。Creative destruction is an important means of bet365 casino bonus transfer crisis,“bet365 casino bonus involves not only the production and circulation of value,Also involves the destruction or devaluation of bet365 casino bonus”。The goal of neoliberal globalization is to promote the flow of bet365 casino bonus between countries to alleviate the crisis of bet365 casino bonus accumulation,But,With the in-depth development of the international division of labor system,Many dynamic centers of bet365 casino bonus accumulation in the world are in the dilemma of over-accumulation,International competition is increasingly fierce。In order to promote the further expansion of bet365 casino bonus,bet365 casino bonus must destroy the old landscape it created before,Let the land where bet365 casino bonus is located release the power of "creative destruction"。For example,The Great Depression of the 1930s,The crisis was finally overcome through the "World War II" in the 1940s。Today’s anti-globalization is through trade war、Currency war and other means of economic war are used to seize the market for value realization。Transfer local and regional devaluation and bet365 casino bonus destruction crises to peripheral and semi-peripheral countries,Prepared for a new round of bet365 casino bonus accumulation and expansion。
The legitimacy dimension of labor-bet365 casino bonus conflicts and the rise of anti-globalization trends
The worsening of labor-bet365 casino bonus conflicts and the crisis of legitimacy of capitalism。Uneven distribution is a fundamental condition for the operation of bet365 casino bonus,Neoliberalism opposes Keynesian full employment,Lower wages by creating unemployment,Sacrificing the interests of workers as a way to accumulate bet365 casino bonus。The focus of bet365 casino bonus is only on how to pursue more surplus value on the basis of independent individual interests and formal equality。Distribution between salary and profit,Depends on the scarcity of labor and the state of class struggle。The creation and expansion of the "industrial reserve army" can promote the exploitation of labor by bet365 casino bonus,Therefore,bet365 casino bonus is as eager to create unemployment as it is to create employment。On the one hand,“Financialization” and “deindustrialization” provide fertile soil for the creation of “industrial reserve army”。With financial industry、The industrial upgrading brought about by emerging industries represented by the information technology industry and business service industry has eliminated some industrial workers。"Deindustrialization" within developed countries corresponding to "Financialization",Expand labor market competition to a global scale,Fierce competition expands the labor reserve army,Further reducing the price of labor。On the other hand,Neoliberalism opposes government intervention,Advocates reducing government intervention to a minimum。As this principle gradually extends to welfare、Education、Healthcare and even pension fields,Capitalist countries have therefore reduced social security、Social welfare provision and public utility expenditure,Greatly weakened the power of trade union organizations,The price of labor continues to decrease。Therefore,Neoliberalism has concentrated social wealth in the hands of a small group of bourgeois elites,The deterioration of the labor employment environment and social security environment has further worsened the conflict between labor and bet365 casino bonus,The gap between the rich and the poor in society continues to widen。The deteriorating labor environment has turned all the good people’s livelihood promises before the political elite came to power into empty promises,People are greatly disappointed with elite politics,Beginning to question the realistic possibility of the liberal democratic values promoted by elite politics,This triggered a crisis of legitimacy for the bourgeois regime。
Anti-globalization is a means for populist parties to divert political crises。For the crisis of legitimacy,The governments of developed countries prefer transfer rather than facing the contradiction between bet365 casino bonus and labor,Populist political leaders drive discord between different ethnic groups、Conflicts between different races to explain and divert social conflicts。For example,The typical populist leader Trump puts forward the slogan of "returning jobs to Americans",Blame developing countries、Refugee、Immigration and others stole their jobs。Governments of developed countries hollow out industries、Workers are unemployed、The increase in inequality is attributed to economic globalization,Transform social conflicts into ethnic and racial conflicts,Successfully stirred up the dissatisfaction of the middle and lower classes in developed industrial countries against globalization,Thus obliterating the fact that the huge benefits brought by globalization to developed countries are occupied by a small number of monopoly capitalist elites and multinational corporations rather than the broad masses of people engaged in social production,Hide the fact that the capitalist system serves the special interests of financial oligarchs and large corporations。Under the guidance of populist parties,Relative to criticizing the unreasonable income pattern from the perspective of the capitalist system,The large group of people with unsatisfactory incomes are more likely to blame overseas markets and immigrants for their unemployment woes、Refugee。Therefore,Reverse globalization by intensifying different ethnic groups、Contradictions between different races partially divert the legitimacy crisis of the bourgeois regime brought about by neoliberalism。
The international dimension of bet365 casino bonus capitalist hegemony and the rise of anti-globalization thoughts
The rise of East Asia and the crisis of capitalist hegemony。Neoliberalism seeks commodities、The liberalization of global circulation of bet365 casino bonus and finance,Brings development opportunities to peripheral and semi-peripheral countries,The development of East Asia has benefited to some extent from the relocation of industries in the United States across the Pacific。Choose to move manufacturing to East Asia instead of other regions,In addition to considerations of lower economic costs,Mainly due to the US government’s “confidence” in controlling East Asia。Compared to the monolithic characteristics of all NATO member states,There was widespread hostility among East Asian countries、In a relationship of mutual exclusion and distrust。But with the rise of East Asia as an important source of power for the global economy,East Asian countries begin to seek independence,Get rid of the control of the United States。Whether it is "returning to the Asia-Pacific" or "rebalancing",Or the “Trans-Pacific Economic Partnership” strategy,All reflect the United States’ fear of the rise of East Asia。Especially as China becomes a major manufacturing and trading country、The second largest economy、The third largest country utilizing foreign bet365 casino bonus and investing abroad,Western developed countries led by the United States feel threatened and uneasy,Regard China as a competitor。Wallerstein once pointed out in his world system theory,Hegemony is a cyclical concept。Since the emergence of the capitalist world system,International politics has mainly experienced three hegemonic cycles,Three hegemonic countries emerged in sequence,The Netherlands、UK and US。In other words,Hegemony is not a stable and fixed state,With the continuity of political struggle,Hegemony will change,This makes Western developed countries even more wary of the development and rise of East Asian countries represented by China。
Anti-globalization is the way for capitalist countries to maintain an unequal world system。Although bet365 casino bonus inherently has the function of civilization to connect the world together,But capitalist countries build inequality、Unstable、Unbalanced、Non-integral global structure。Whether it is "dependency theory" or "world system theory",They all pointed out that the globalization of bet365 casino bonus is constantly producing new hierarchical orders,Form the center and periphery、State relationship mechanism of domination and dependence。“bet365 casino bonus accumulation” and “unequal exchange” are the driving forces behind the operation of the capitalist world system,The core area in the system relies on funds、Technology、Management、Military、Objective advantages such as international status,Whether it is overseas colonization and military plunder in the early stages of capitalist development,Still in the ever-lasting international trade,All through exploitation、Unequal exchange and competitive advantage to obtain huge profits。This unbalanced development structure,It is also the cause of global polarization,It is also the force that developed countries can rely on to achieve goals such as "creative destruction", "accumulation by dispossession" and "unequal exchange" internationally。Therefore,When the development of China and other East Asian countries affects the pattern of international development,Developed countries such as the United States feel threatened,They are trying to reconstruct the international social order through anti-globalization,To consolidate its international status。
Actually,The root cause of the neoliberal crisis lies in the inherent contradictions of capitalist society,To eradicate the crisis in value production and realization,To fundamentally touch on the structural contradictions of capitalist society,“Abolish bet365 casino bonus with violence—not through bet365 casino bonus’s external relations,Rather, it is regarded as a condition for the self-preservation of bet365 casino bonus,This is the most convincing form of admonishing bet365 casino bonus to abdicate and give way to a higher state of social production”。But,Under the overall framework of capitalism,When a crisis occurs,Western countries will not form a conscious reflection on the systemic flaws of capitalism,It will not touch on the contradictions in the field of "material life relations" behind globalization。They still insist on considering the interests of a few people instead of the common interests of all mankind,With its hegemonic position in the world,Rely on its economy、Politics、Military power coerces other countries to open their doors,Choose beggar-thy-neighbor,By sacrificing other countries、Ethnicity、Racial interests to divert conflicts,So that bet365 casino bonus accumulation and bet365 casino bonus reproduction can proceed smoothly。
