About this site

MarxistEconomics.com was launched in July 2008 as a site to provide courses, information and resources to promote the study of Marxist economics.

Evaluating the Crisis

2008 has seen world capitalism entering a crisis, although taking the appearance of 'the credit crunch'; a Marxist political-economic analysis would see this as a symptom of a deeper underlying crisis of capitalism - as evaluated by Marx in his initial critical analysis of capitalism.

How have the different socialist groups evaluated this crisis? Below we  provide some web links to some of the key articles which have been published on the web:


The International Marxist Tendency
The crisis of world capitalism is gathering speed

The CWI / Socialist Party (In England and Wales)
The October Crisis

International Socialists
Capitalism isn’t working

The London Correspondence Society
Worse Than They Want You to Think

International Viewpoint
The Economic Crisis and its Effects
