Karl Marx oversold socialism, but he was right in claiming that globalization, unfettered financial capitalism, and redistribution of income and wealth from labor to capital could lead capitalism to self-destruct. As he argued, unregulated capitalism can lead to regular bouts of over-capacity, under-consumption, and the recurrence of destructive financial crises, fueled by credit bubbles and asset-price booms and busts.
这是老问题了。马克思的社会主义虽已市场饱和，但他有一个主张还是对的：全球化、无约束的金融资本主义、收入和财富由劳动向资本转移，会导致资本主义的自我毁灭。正如他所论证的，无节制的资本主义会定期导致产能过程，消费不足，信贷和资产价格泡沫循环消长，破坏性的金融危机一再爆发。
