"It is impossible to come out from the crisis of capitalism without leaving the capitalism in crisis." (Pedro Francisco Páez)

Pedro Paez attacks the hegemonic perception of the Financial Crisis as a "Black Swan" which came out of nothing. Paez shares with us his views that the crisis are a necessary outcome of a capitalism that has lost its possible progressive impacts on society. To save humanity from the total collapse of this regime, Paez argues, we need multi-stage joint efforts in different regions and on different systemic levels.
