Political economist Radhika Desai offers a Marxist reading of today’s global crises — from Gaza to the dollar’s fragility. We unpack why she believes capitalism has reached its monopoly stage, why it cannot function without imperialism, and how those contradictions shape everything from U.S. foreign policy to BRICS. Gaza becomes a stark example of how imperial systems maintain power, revealing the collapse of Western moral authority and the violent logic built into capitalism itself.FREE DOWNLOAD (thanks to Knowledge Unlatched) Capitalism Coronavirus and War https://library.oapen.org/handle/20.500.12657/59799 More from jay at whatjaythinks.com0:00:00 Coming Up…0:00:55 Before Thoughts — Questions Answered Through a Marxist Lens0:06:41 The Dinner Table Spark — Teenage Curiosity to a Career in Geopolitics0:13:30 Where Are We Now? — Or When are we according to Marx0:28:40 Capitalism as a Particular System — Cyclical Thinking, Historical Thinking & Western Decline0:37:03 The Hidden Rule — Why Capitalism Always Demands Exploitation & Imperialism0:43:04 Was the U.S. Ever in Charge? — Multipolarity in Past and Present0:59:00 BRICS at 51% — Can the Bloc Really Challenge Western Hegemony?1:08:01 From Gold to Bubbles — The Dollar’s Rise, Fall, and Fragile Future1:13:01 The Gaza Turning Point — Western Hypocrisy and the Loss of Moral Authority1:19:04 A Capitalist War — Gaza, Resources, and Built-In System Contradictions1:29:18 After Thoughts — Next Guests Patrick Bond Coleman Hughes and a Vinyl Record
