Denke gerade oft an einen Dozenten der Judaistik, der uns damals immer an Israel als das einzige Land erinnert hat, das um das Suffix "-kritik" ergänzt Gegenstand einer Form von Misstrauen sui generis ist. Es gibt keinen feststehenden Kanon der "Russland-"/ "USA-Kritik", v.a. nicht über Jahrzehnte.

"For Smith and Keynes, as for many contemporary theorists of secular stagnation, the reasons for that stagnation are trans-systemic (...). Marxists were trying to find reasons for systemic long-run low profitability."

To make sense of why this juncture can't be posed as such we need philosophy.
We’re All Stagnationists Now
More and more economists agree with Robert Brenner that mature capitalist economies have begun to stagnate. We should not deny this reality but rather think clearly about how it affects our political ...
