In this interview, Immanuel Wallerstein sets out his current analysis of capitalism, structural crisis and contemporary social movements. After defining the main features of the capitalist world-economy, he then describes precisely the structural crisis it has been experiencing since the “world-revolution of 1968.” Immanuel Wallerstein finally concludes by analyzing the contemporary struggles between social movements representing the “spirit of Davos” and the “spirit of Porto Alegre” and by exploring the possibilities for social and political action for more equality and democracy in the 21st century.
