Last year, there were a number of books that came out that helped to enlighten us both theoretically and empirically on the laws of motion of capitalism. But I think I missed one. It’s The Great Leveller by Brett Christophers. Christophers is a Professor in Human Geography at Uppsala University, Sweden. His book takes a refreshingly new angle on the nature of crises under capitalism. He says that we need to look at how capitalism is continually facing a dynamic tension between the underlying forces of competition and monopoly. Christopher argues that in this dynamic, law and legal measures have an underappreciated role in trying to preserve a “delicate balance between competition and monopoly”, which is needed to “regulate the rhythms of capitalist accumulation”.
