Outro

On the weakness of state and capital – and their fusion.

Ilias Alami joins Alex and Lee to talk about his essential co-authored book, The Spectre of State Capitalism.

• Why is state capitalism not just a China story, but is global?

• What does the rise of state capitalism tell us about the health of contemporary capitalism?

• How did globalisation and stagnation combine to give birth to it?

• Is this an extension of neoliberalism or something new and different?

• Does this represent a 're-politicisation' of the economy – and does it open up more hopeful political futures?
