@HeavenlyPossum I'm curious how you would relate this to the other line of thought that Graeber was pursuing (I think, after Wallerstein), that since the early 70s we have actually been in a transition phase away from capitalism with other new systems on the arena competing for domination. Graeber himself sometimes spoke about our new times in terms of feudalism (a "managerial" one). I often think that confusions around whether capitalism is ending has to do with a lack of strong definitions.
