Antifada's History is a Weapon 11: The Sorrow of Empire w/ Matt Christman
Added 2021-09-01 15:27:59 +0000 UTCMatt and Sean have returned to talk about the disastrous defeat of the United States in Afghanistan:
How did this happen and how does it implicate the American Imperial project? Why was the War on Terror? How is Biden's withdrawal linked to broader strategic interests (Cold War with China)? Whither American capitalist hegemony in the 21st century? And how will the citizens of this cursed country reconcile themselves to imperial decline? (Not well.)
Intro: Eddy Huntington - U.S.S.R. DISCO LABORWAVE

This conversation would be interesting to revisit with respect to the Ukraine situation. Really interesting public response to that propaganda campaign.

2021-09-02 02:13:10 +0000 UTCFWIW, Fukuyama's work on developmental economics, even while he was talking about the "End of History", is actually in complete agreement with you on the idea of trying to develop with an unregulated, unprotected market being impossible. He did a fair bit of work on the development of East Asia and talked about the Developmental State model, which was based around a highly-interventionist state that intervenes to develop a comparative advantage through protectionism and basically providing rents to major industrial firms. It's still dismal capitalism that cares not at all for the interest of workers, but even Fukuyama's work tells us that the US's "development" plan for Afghanistan and Iraq was completely boneheaded.
