Daily Kos :: Comments capitalist discipline and ecological discipline, or van der Pijl for beginners

Thank you, very interesting (0+ / 0-)

Could you perhaps tell us more about Kees van der Pijl, who he is and where he trained? His ideas sound vaguely Marxist, but not really. His analysis is also somewhat familiar but I can't quite place it.

Thanks for posting this excellent diary.

  Don't know much about him. There's definitely an element of Marx in van der Pijl; I'd say they both hold in common the discipline of historical materialism, though van der Pijl has a rather different slant on it.
  
  The volumes you should look at, if you can, are: Global Rivalries from the Cold War to Iraq, and Transnational Classes and International Relations. It's too bad they're so expensive; perhaps your local college library could be made to order them.
