When the System Cracks and Survives Its Own Death
Two catastrophes bookended the first decade of the 21st century: the Twin Towers fell in 2001, and global markets collapsed in 2008. What connects these seemingly unrelated events? Both revealed the same uncomfortable truth-our dominant economic and political system, despite its claims of invincibility, contains fatal contradictions. More striking still, the response to both crises followed an identical script: suspend the very values we claim to defend in order to save them. After 9/11, democratic freedoms were curtailed to protect democracy. After 2008, trillions in public money rescued the private financial system that had just proven its recklessness. History didn't just repeat itself-it became a dark comedy where the punchline was always the same: the system survives while its victims pay the price. This isn't a story about communism's failure, as the title might suggest. It's about capitalism's remarkable ability to survive its own self-destruction. When the Berlin Wall fell, we were told history had ended-liberal democracy and free markets had won forever. That dream lasted barely twenty years before new walls appeared: gated communities for the wealthy, militarized borders against migrants, and invisible barriers between the financial elite and everyone else. The question isn't whether capitalism works, but for whom it works and at what cost to the rest of us. Think about the last time someone told you "that's just how the world works" when discussing economic policy. That phrase-innocent as it sounds-contains capitalism's most powerful trick. Unlike previous systems that openly declared their values, capitalism presents itself as simply describing reality rather than imposing an ideology. When Alan Greenspan admitted after the 2008 crash that he'd found "a flaw in the model," he revealed something profound: what he thought was objective economic science was actually a belief system all along.
