Marx had a good go, but there's no Theory of Everything. Partly because there are always perspectives. But I do think that capitalism has an inherent tendency to cause crises.The Plashing Volehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13021407602157515927noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6153845628469776909.post-60562858725481311902011-02-22T10:41:23.042+00:002011-02-22T10:41:23.042+00:00Well, yes and no.
