When the Cold War ended, some people called it the "end of
history." Capitalism and liberal democracy had prevailed. Later,
when the West clashed with radical Islam, Americans realized
history hadn't ended after all-at least not abroad. Now, in How
Marx Can Save American Capitalism, Ronald W. Dworkin shows us that
even the home front is in play and capitalism and liberal democracy
are threatened. Dworkin uses Karl Marx to tip the balance in their
favor-a paradox, as Marx was the sworn enemy of capitalism and
liberal democracy, but also logical, as Marx knew the weak spots in
capitalism and democracy better than anyone. In the past,
capitalism's weak spots were obvious: sweatshops, workhouses, and
hunger. The twentieth century welfare state saved capitalism by
fixing them. Today's weak spots are less obvious; they don't even
seem related- mass loneliness, a declining birth rate, young people
postponing adulthood, and workers using sleep aids to function on
the job. Yet they pose the same risk to capitalism that child labor
and horrid factory conditions once did. Marx's ideas applied to
contemporary America show how they are all of apiece. Saving
capitalism demands a third way-not rigid Republican conservatism or
blind Democratic state interventionism, but a new politics in which
the state focuses laser-like on advanced capitalism's unique
threats to private life, while leaving much of the free market
intact.
