Crisis theory

What Are We Waiting For?

This two-part essay draws upon crisis theory and the history of economic crises to reflect on the current turbulence and the next economic crisis. The first part of the essay begins by drawing on the work of Daniel Bensaïd and Bob Jessop to reconceptualize crises as societal paroxysms—highlighting the role crises play both as disruptions and transformative reconsolidations of the capitalist order. From this starting point, the remainder of Part One explores how we might understand economic crises in the 2020s and the near future.
