Re Foster: I think this is the one Angelus is referring to: http://monthlyreview.org/2010/10/01/the-financialization-of-accumulation See also: http://monthlyreview.org/2007/04/01/the-financialization-of-capitalism ... and whatever else comes up when googling foster and financialization. I had previously argued with someone (Angelus?) about how Foster & MR discuss financialization, but am willing to say for now that perhaps I was overly harsh. ESPECIALLY since there's an out-and-out dismissal of Marxist economics in toto gaining influence, i.e. the attempt by Strike Debt activists to fit all phenomenon into the Procrustean bed of debt. See for instance Silvia Federici's piece on page 20 of: http://tidalmag.org/pdf/tidal4_block-by-block.pdf Andy P.
