CHAPTER

Government Intervention and Capitalism

This chapter discusses currency theory, debt theory of money, and the role of government intervention in solving economic issues. It explores the relationship between the state and surplus value, the concept of state capitalism, and the implications of heavy state intervention in the US economy. The speakers also critique the idea that the state can pacify and integrate the proletariat and capitalist classes through a consumer economy and welfare state to stave off the contradictions of capitalism.
