Çöküş-Kapitalizmin Nihai Krizi Üzerine Bir Deneme

Back Cover Text (From the Promotional Bulletin)

Having previously developed a radical critique of the official ideology within the framework of the Bankruptcy of the Paradigm, he wrote the Manifesto for Another Civilization and asked "what, where, how to produce, how to consume, how to live?" Fikret Başkaya, who discusses a new democracy based on commons around the questions, is now talking about Collapse.

Is capitalism's last great crisis also its final crisis? What were the dynamics of the crises so far? What kind of dynamics does the crisis we are experiencing today have that are different from others? In fact, since "crisis" also includes the possibility of getting out of it, should we think about it in terms of a different concept such as "collapse"?
If there is to be a collapse, will it happen suddenly or will it manifest itself as a process or a trend? At what point did the ecological destruction reach? Are we really all “in the same boat”? Has the current system entered an irreversible path? If so, what are the data for it?

Başkaya's Collapse provides answers to these questions; It is a very important work that discusses concepts such as development, technology, civilization and financialization in detail.

So, in the light of all these discussions, what options appear before us? Or are we without options? Let's leave the short answer to Fikret Başkaya's words, and the long answer to an entire book:

“If the current situation is not sustainable and collapse is inevitable, we have two options before us: The first is to turn the collapse into an opportunity with a radical revolution, to turn the steering wheel to the left, but to do this in a timely manner, because time is running out; The second is to remain under collapse... There is no middle ground, no third option between these two..."
