Paul Mattick Sr. fu uno scrittore politico marxista e rivoluzionario sociale, il cui pensiero si allinea con le tradizioni del comunismo dei consigli e del comunismo di sinistra. Il suo lavoro esaminò criticamente il capitalismo e analizzò le lotte di classe, enfatizzando la necessità dell'azione rivoluzionaria. Gli scritti di Mattick offrono profonde intuizioni sui fondamenti teorici e le esperienze storiche dei movimenti comunisti di sinistra. I suoi contributi rimangono significativi per comprendere le prospettive alternative sulla trasformazione socialista.

A concise, jargon-free explanation of inflation past and present, and the world economy today.
Die derzeitige Wirtschaftskrise ist die Folge eines aus den Fugen geratenen Finanzkapitalismus, so der allgemeine Konsens, verschärft durch hohe Verschuldung und verantwortungslose Spekulation. Man gibt die Schuld dem wachsenden Ungleichgewicht zwischen Ländern mit geringen Investitionen und hohem Konsumniveau wie den USA und sich schnell entwickelnden Wirtschaftsregionen wie China und Südasien. In Business as usual erklärt Paul Mattick die aktuelle Lage verständlich und gänzlich jargonfrei. Er stellt sie in Zusammenhang mit der Weltwirtschaft seit dem Zweiten Weltkrieg und vor allem in den Zyklus von Krise und Erholung, wie er den Kapitalismus seit dem frühen 19. Jahrhundert charakterisiert. Die heutige Krise ist Symptom eines von enormer Profitgier getriebenen Kapitalismus. Mattick macht die Grenzen jeglicher Versuche der Politik, die Wirtschaft zu beeinflussen und zu stabilisieren, deutlich. Er legt dar, dass die heutige Rezession nicht eine Folge der Finanzkrise ist, sondern ein Merkmal der wahren Natur des sozialen und wirtschaftlichen Systems, in dem wir leben. Wer dieses Buch gelesen hat, kann nicht mehr an Rettungsschirme glauben.
