On the Economic Crisis of Capitalism

July 9, 2026
Prabhat Patnaik
There are at least two important economic aspects of the current structural crisis of capitalism. The first is the overall stagnation and increased unemployment with which world capitalism in its neoliberal phase has been confronted. The higher unemployment in many cases, such as in the United States, is camouflaged by a reduction in the work participation rate, but its reality is undeniable. The stagnation was manifest even before the pandemic: the decadal rate of growth of the world economy over the 2010s decade was lower than in any preceding decade since the Second World War.

Iran war may deliver US a diplomatic silver lining

In late June, less than two weeks after the Trump administration signed its much-ridiculed memorandum of understanding with Iran, Secretary of State Marco Rubio traveled to the Middle East. The journey was as much about damage control as anything else. While Washington’s regional allies were relieved the shooting had tapered off, many had concerns about what the deal left out.

خدا و مذهب

 بر اساس گزارشات آماری، بین هفتاد و پنج تا هشتاد و چهار درصد مردم به خدا و مذهب اعتقاد دارند. یعنی‌ درصد کسانی‌ که به خدا و یا مذهب خاصی‌ اعتقادی ندارند کمتر از بیست و پنج و یا شانزده درصد می‌باشد. گرچه بسیاری از نظریات علمی‌ اعتقاد به خدا و مذهب را باطل می‌کنند، ولی‌ هنوز می‌توان دانشمندانی را یافت که به وجود خالقی یا نیروئی که این جهان را به وجود آورده است معتقد باشند. به عنوان مثال، دکتر میچیو کاکو اعلام کرده است که به خدا اعتقاد دارد. بر طبق آمار مرکز پژوهش پیو، مسیحیت پر طرفدار‌ترین مذهب است و پس از آن اسلام می‌باشد، که مذاهب هندو و بودائی به دنبال آن دو می‌آیند.ا

A Lost War, a Bad Agreement and a Possible Good Outcome

June 29, 2026
L. Michael Hager
One thing is certain. The U.S. lost its war of choice against Iran. Trump and Netanyahu failed to eliminate the perceived Iranian nuclear threat, despite relentless bombing that killed thousands and destroyed both military assets and civilian infrastructure. The desired “regime change” left a more hawkish leader in charge. Iranian forces then deployed missiles and drones to carry out devastating attacks on American bases in the Gulf. Thirteen U.S. soldiers lost their lives. Most significantly, Iranian closure of the Strait of Hormuz sparked global panic in energy, fertilizer, and other vital markets. For Americans, the war meant a dollar a-gallon increase at the gas pump. For Trump, ending the war became a political imperative.

Capitalism and the Crisis of Meaning in Our Times

June 28, 2026
Helena Sheehan
How to explain the cascading crises of our time? What are the most striking indicators of crisis? What causes are put forward? What solutions are proposed? Is there an underlying dynamic generating the many manifestations of destruction, decadence, and despair in contemporary society? Is there some kind of connective tissue running through the chaos, the craziness, the injustice, the myopia, and the deception that unfold before us daily? Why do so many attempts at explanation fall so far short? Why is academe such a theoretical wasteland? Is there a systemic explanation of a world that systemically disempowers systemic thinking? Does the concept of polycrisis capture the connections? What is the impact of capitalism on the production of meaning? What does Marxism have to offer in this scenario? Is it a worldview that explains these crises and opens an alternative path?

And even though Israel did not sign the deal, policymakers in Washington will continue to press Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to abide by the truce.
