Sažetak
The actual recession/depression is a radicalized continuation of a cyclical forty
years long transformational slowdown of growth through basically stagnant
fluctuations. With this slowdown is connected a serial of controversial,
crisis-generating and finally unsuccessful general politics- and policy-change
unprecedented in the contemporary world. An analysis of the societal history
through sequencies of developmental counterpoints and through the logic
of great societal, political-economic and political cycles demonstrates that
causes of cyclical economic and societal movements in general, and of actual
stagnation and crysis especially, are mostly noneconomical. They are mainly
political. In short, their political foundation is in a radical actual and previous
change in the equilibrium of a dynamic tendency of the modern political
space. This equilibrium is here called “modern normal”. The modern normal
(MN) is for us a tendentional space/structure of equilibria in the middle
of (1) the political, (2) the personal/individual, (3) the whole world space,
and (4) the space of the state/society. The actual kind of that disequilibrium
or denormalization of modern normal indicates a process which is usually
called totalitarian. In our actual case, the focal point is moved toward financial
corporations as pseudo-statal regulators of economy, politics and society.
Here, this is the Matrix-capitalism as a feedback of an urban legend and an
analytical pattern. Generally, in the long run it is also a process of denormalized
or bad and unsuccessful public- and business-policy, especially as development-,
growth- and transformation-policy. This Matrix-capitalism, which
is dominated by global financial corporations, is developing itself in a cyclically
denormalised tendentional space/structure between: (1) the unpolitically
“economical”, (2) the unindividually “personal”, (3) the unwholly “global”,
and (4) the unstately, unsocially, and anti-economically “denational”. The
Matrix-capitalism is functional only in a virtual world of ideologized economics
and casino-business operations with derivatives etc. Cyclically interfaced
with economic, social, cultural, political, personal, and national/world’s
reality, Matrix-capitalism will every time be more unsustainable even for its
mega-corporative core.
