I’m in the New Left Review today, elaborating on some thoughts about the misleading nature of the term “late capitalism.”

Despite its popularity in recent years, especially since the 2008 financial crisis and the left-populist insurgencies that followed, late capitalism is not an idea that lends itself to revolution or a vision of progress. It may express a wish to be rid of capitalism. But mostly it works as a theory of turning points that never turn – or worse.

And in case you missed these other recent pieces of mine on questions of capitalism and politics, here they are again.

Also, in the New Left Review, on Trump and tariffs and the Republican coalition.

And in ARC, on the relevance of Adam Smith and the Polish Marxist Michał Kalecki for today.
