Accumulation of Death: How Israel’s Geno...

RANIA KHALEK
About this episode

Where does Israel’s genocide in Gaza fit in to our late stage global imperialist order? What does it mean about the role of Zionism in the Middle East? How do the U.S. wars on other Middle Eastern countries factor in? How has China managed to escape this and the neoliberal rot that has consumed so much of the world?  And how come some Western Marxists get it so wrong?


To discuss this and more, Rania Khalek was joined by Ali Kadri, author of many books including “Arab Development Denied: Dynamics of Accumulation by Wars of Encroachment,” “The Unmaking of Arab Socialism,” “China's Path to Development: Against Neoliberalism,” and his most recently published book “The Accumulation of Waste: A Political Economy of Systemic Destruction.”
