Marc Vandepitte . 10 December 2010

The theme of this conference is the Crisis of Capitalism, Welfare State and Labour. I want to treat this topic from a long term perspective and its multiple dimensions, in contrast to a shorter term treatment and one just limited to the economy, although the latter dimension is the basic one.

I view the crisis in at least five fields: the economic, social, political, ecological and geopolitical (militarization and war) field.
