Criticism of the political economy of barbarism: Interview with Marildo Menega

Abstract

In this interview given to Revista Maracanan the Professor discusses the "crisis theories" of Marxist and neoliberal bias and addresses the relationship between the notion of contemporary barbarism, the unresolved world crisis after World War II - only mitigated in the form of a "truce" , in the thirty "glorious years" (c. 1945-1975) - and the history of capitalism. Considering the origins and unfolding of the issues involved in the "collapse of capitalism" by its self-contradictions. These generators of human masses excluded from minimally worthy survival possibilities. And without giving up his blunt verve. Menegat analyzes the situation in Brazil today from both the economic and cultural political prism and draws attention to the fact that "Humanity no longer counts in the calculations of the economy. There is a choice that has never been placed before: capitalism (which is the daily barbarism in which we live, in permanent progression) or the existence of humanity (which can only be effected in another form of socialization)."
