Theory of Crisis and the Problem of Constitution - Giacomo Marramao
It is still widely held that the theory of the crisis and collapse of the capitalist system is inherited from the positivist deformation of the "Marxism of the Second International," and that it thus implies ideological support for reformist politics.

Introduction
The politics of debt: social discipline and control
"During the 1980s and 1990s debt has become a serious political and social issue. This is true at the personal level and at the public level.
