This is an inventively named Radio 4 broadcast ruminating on the effects on capitalism caused by the mighty credit crunch. Which is a pandemic of late capitalism. As you might expect, there is more than a mention of Marx.

Given that capitalism is a linear system and we live on a finite planet*, how could Francis Fukuyama have seriously suggested that capitalism is the final form of society? I can only assume that he saw it not as a sustained form, but as a vehicle for the extinction of the human race. Does human history conclude with the end of human struggle (a Hegelian position) or the end of humans?
*I borrowed this nice and simple reduction from Annie Leonard, in the much viewed Story of Stuff.
