Unlike the free market fundamentalists of Mordor’s mainstream, Michael Roberts aspires to make the practice of political economy a science. That is, he evaluates how well his predictions last year have panned out as well as making some predictions for 2026.
He bases his theory on the Marxian tendency of the rate of profit to fall. Will world inequality grow steeper or are there signs of a reversal? Will the stock market run on artificial intelligence continue of will the bubble burst? Will the Zionist genocide continue for another year? Will the decline in world trade continue?
