Wallerstein’s first breakthrough came during his experiences in Africa during the process of “decolonization,” where he became aware that young militants in Africa possessed a conceptual framework that was entirely at odds with that of Europeans resident in Africa, a framework in which the African militants defined their reality as a “colonial situation.” This awareness led Wallerstein to appreciate that a correct understanding must be based in a grasping of the colonial relation between Europe and Africa, which required moving beyond the assumption that society is the correct unit of analysis and moving toward the establishment of the world-system as the correct unit of analysis.…

Helpful articles, although I think that, all the breathy derision of China's economic model aside, that China faces very real environmental constraints. BRICs is part but not all of the solution.

Yes, and that applied to just about everyone but the MMT crowd and not even to them evenly. As Bill is fond of saying, "neoliberal tendencies," that is, having cultural presumptions that act as hidden assumptions, e.g., biasing one to monetarism.
Monetarism is still the Zeitgeist, so to speak. The only good thing about it is you know in advance what the morons are going to be doing.

Right. Unfortunately, there are few Gaullists left in the French power structure, which is neoliberal through and through, with Macron being its frontman.
Sarkozy was the last Gaullist (sort of) president and he is still a player on the stage although he has been mostly sidelined.
