This response is to the subject line, not the substance of the post. I am startled and even a bit dismayed at how few posts on lbo or pen-l show any acquaintance at all with _Empire of Capital_ by Ellen Meiksins Wood. If you take that work seriously, the phrase "decline of empire" is absurd. The empire is of Capital, and that empire is expanding and more powerful than ever, no spot in the world free of it.
In my personal opinion she is the foremost Marxist writing in English today. To ignore her work is simply to ignore the substance of contemporay Marxist thought.
