it still baffles me: why is there a shift to forms of relative sv at the end of the 20thC?
(btw, I think _accumulation and crisis_ is right up there in marxist analyses, especially in its conception of the relation between forms of class composition and disorganisation and capital accumulation and crisis. the kind of work that's integral to political activism and the continuing relevance of marxism. - I don't often heap the praises, but I make an exception for an exceptional work.)
