Abstract

[The period between World War I and World War II is marked by the unsuccessful efforts to reestablish the pre-World War I mode of capital accumulation. At the same time, particularly in the U.S., the basic elements of the stage of consumerism are beginning to emerge as early as the 1920s, and are given a further boost by the Great Depression and World War II. Fortunately it is not necessary to draw precise time boundaries at the level of stage theory since it would be difficult to say precisely when the stage of imperialism ended and the stage of consumerism began. What is much clearer, is that the classical years of the stage of imperialism are the twenty years prior to World War I, and the classical years of the stage of consumerism are roughly from 1950 to 1970. We would argue that currently (2021) we are in a phase of transition away from capitalism, but how quickly it will be transformed, and into what, will be briefly addressed in the chapters after this one.]
