Modern capitalism emerged in the early nineteenth century in western Europe and the European offshoots of the Americas and Oceania. Recognizing the unparalleled dynamism of the new socio-economic system, Marx and Engels predicted in 1848 that capitalism would spread to the entire world. By the end of the twentieth century, that prediction was confirmed: capitalism had indeed become global, but ...

In fact this correspondence is implicit in studies of two colors done by Engels, Fingberg, Redlich, Satz, and Weber in 1989 [1]. For two colors, the deconfining transition appears to be of second order [1–3]. ...

Following a survey of Marx and Engels’ major writings on crisis from the early 1840s to the 1860s (Section II) we set out a systematic exposition and interpretation of their theory of capitalist accumulation and its crises (Sections III VIII). Our principal objective is to show, first, how their theoretical work grew out of, and was integral to, their political struggles; second, how they came ...
