government are. libya's transitional leaders and name a new cabinet to govern the country until it's fully secured meanwhile and he could be troops continue to receive a stronghold of circle of this amid accusations they're also targeting civilian homes. or certainly are bad news out there for some of the country's on the edge of financial collapse but some economists predict the worst is yet to come thanks to an r.c. we hear from a senior scholar at yale university. who believes the real crash will take place in the next few years that discussion is now. thank you very much for being with us today sir. so exactly two years ago you told
8:32 am
are that the real economic crash is still a couple of years down the line is that with us right now. you know it's a year or two still down the line but it's but it's very clearly taught me what was the biggest trouble at this point the united states think european union just the rest of the world. actually everybody's in trouble but the united states is clearly in trouble the european union is in trouble i think it's in less trouble than the united states where it's in trouble but i eat i think also that the so-called newly emerging countries or the emerging from three brazil india china are also in trouble and so i i don't see anybody who isn't in trouble so like you're saying the global financial system clearly broken what is wrong with modern populism that's a very long story but i mean modern capitalism has in my view but that's
8:33 am
a world story reach the end of its rope. it cannot survive as a system and what we are seeing is the structural crisis of the system so the structural crisis goes on for a long time it really started in my view more or less in the one nine hundred seventy s. that go on for another twenty thirty forty years it's not a crisis of a year or of a rather short moment it's a major structural unfolding of a system and we're in france to another system and in fact the real political struggle that's going on in the world though most people refuse to recognize. this is not about capitalism should we have a should we not should replace it and i'm of course you can have two very different kinds of views on what should replace it what's your view well i would like a more relatively democratic more relatively gallops area of world that's one view
8:34 am
we've never had that history of the world. it's possible. view is that you have a very. unequal polarized. exploitative system that doesn't have to be capitalism capitalism is that you can do that in many other ways some of which may be far worse than capitalism so that's the way i see because of the political struggle that's technically called apply for a cation. of a system so. i'll think capitalistic top doesn't system is directly linked to the economic yes its roots are in many ways the impossibility of continuing the basic principle of capitalism which is. ceaseless accumulation of counter. and that's the whole point of capitalism as a system and it's it's worked in some ways marvelously well for five hundred years
8:35 am
it's been a stream a successful system and what it has tried to do but it has undone itself as all systems do is it dangerous all this social economic and it's an enormously dangerous what are the pros and cons if you mean is it dangerous to you and to me yes it's extremely dangerous to you and to me. in fact in one of my talks i called it hell on earth it's a system in which everything is relatively in short term unpredictable and people can live with unpredictability in the short run and when. with unpredictability in the long run we cannot trust but if you don't know what's going to happen the next day or the next year then you don't know what to do and you get paralyzed and that's basically what we're seeing in the world economy right now is a paralysis nobody's investing really because they're not sure that three years
8:36 am
from now they'll get their money back so when you're not sure three years from now you get your money back you don't invest and if you don't invest that makes the situation even worse but people don't feel they don't much choice and they're right they don't have too much choice the options are are few they are like you said we are and shaping our process and it's not a question of pros and cons we have no choice but to mean it that way out well it's not a question of a way out we obviously what happens in the bifurcation at some point the thing tilts and we get into a new relatively stable situation the crisis is over we're in a new system and we don't know which one it will be it's very optimistic in the sense that it matters what you and i do in a way that in the normal workings of a system it doesn't matter in the normal workings of his system right you put
8:37 am
a lot of energy and everything in the and. we're in russia there's something called the russian revolution right one thousand nine hundred seventeen there was a revolution it was an enormous social effort right incredible numbers of people put energy into it tried to support it in x. and y. way they did incredible things and in the end eighty years later you see where is russia in relative to where it was in one thousand thirteen in many ways it's back to where it was or not that far. from where it was same thing could be said of the french revolution enormous social effort and after fifty years. were they more than a sort of ripple on a continuous line. change within their country so what does that say that the importance of the personal choice that you're talking about and well that
8:38 am
point is the situation changes when you get into the structural crisis instead of a lot of effort. making a small amount of change basically a little effort can make an enormous amount of change because the whole thing is so unstable so volatile that every little effort pushes it in one direction or another so i sometimes say this is the historicism nation of the old greek philosophical distinction between determinism and free will when the system is relatively stable it's a relatively determinist system in which we have relatively little free play when it's unstable when it's going into structural crisis three rule comes into the picture that is the say your action and my action really matter in
8:39 am
a way which go they didn't for five hundred years that that's my basic point now that you've always dreamed karl marx as one of your biggest influences do you think he's still as relevant in twenty first century well. look karl marx was a great great thinker of the nineteenth century he had all the virtues of his insights and all the limitations of being a man of the nineteenth century one of his great limitations was that he was too much of a classical economist. he he he was too much of a determinist and he didn't see the fact that systems he did see that systems come to an end but he thought they came to an end as a result of. sort of process of conscious revolution and i'm
8:40 am
suggesting they come to an end because of internal contradictions. and everyone is a prisoner of their time there's no question of that so he's a prisoner of the fact that he was in one thousand nine hundred three think i'm a prisoner of the fact i'm prepared for twenty first century well i know but i was formed i mean i was born in one nine hundred thirty if seventy years in the twentieth century i feel that i'm a product of the twentieth century and that's probably reveals itself in the limitations of my thought how much in what ways do those two centuries different that you translate it from twenty to twenty are they really that different well i think yes i think the. real turning point was a. serious one nine hundred seventy. first of all that was the world revolution of one nine hundred sixty eight a not. a not an important event in fact i
8:41 am
think of very. the most significant event of the twentieth century more important than the russian revolution more important than the u.s. coming becoming the dramatic power in one thousand nine hundred five where there are about nine hundred sixty eight broke the liberal allusion that was. governing the world system either announced in fact the bifurcation or coming into and we have been living in the wake of one thousand nine hundred sixty eight ever everywhere where you're saying where ever since and we've been living. on the brink of sixty eight does that have anything to do with the fact that people often say for the last two has become more violent and there is more violence i think what it is. is a. has come for perhaps not measuring the actual
8:42 am
reality of discomfort but there's no question people were relatively calm. in one thousand fifty's or sixty's in a way that they're not calm about it today and everybody is fearful. in many ways they have right to be fearful but you would still think that with all the progress in technology or the fact that we like to think we're more more civilized . there will be no world wars what does that say about human nature it says about human nature of the. people are ready to be violent under many many circumstances i mean. and are we more civilized i don't know that we're more civilized. and that's a kind of dubious concept in fact first of all the civilized cause more trouble than the civilized the civilized try to destroy the barbarians barbarians which are destroying the civilized the civilized define the barbarians of the
8:43 am
others all the barbarians we are the civilized this is what we're seeing right now rests trying to teach to burberry and all around the world we've been seeing that for five hundred years. thank you very much for this interview. it was created to serve public interests to inform and to entertain. these days there's nothing easier than opening a new media outlet but there is nothing then revoking its license in case of corruption. when just from. san antonio in trouble.

prompting fears the track could be removed us the british government is determined that that won't happen. it was a promise leaving a stadium is a promise that we made at the time a bit of a promise made to the world in singapore time you know it's not your first but it's a great city make a promise you should keep them so it is very important for athletics in this country to have a stadium that's capable of tasting a world that's an executive and to have back legacy for future generations growing up in and around the city of london is incredibly important to us and that's before you've looked at the one hundred million read it brings the number of economists. and finally the north caucasus long established itself as a supplier of russia's world and olympic champions particularly investing in boxing but it's traditional sports are also held in high regard as reports from the festival and this other. aiming to become a tradition in itself because this is games offered quite a selection of traditional sports to cheer on for the second year running. hardly
