Confronting Capitalism with Vivek Chibber
A show about socialist theory and strategy.

How Will Capitalism End?

Capitalism won’t last forever, but it's also not destined to collapse.

Socialists have long predicted capitalism’s overthrow and replacement by a better system. But do we have any reason to believe capitalism must come to an end?

On the latest episode of Confronting Capitalism, Melissa Naschek and Vivek Chibber discuss the role of economic and ecological crises in capitalism’s possible demise. Just as it is a mistake to think that capitalism will last forever, it’s also unrealistic to think that it is destined to collapse.
