current capitalist crisis has several inter-related dimensions, among them:

political, food, economic, financial and ecological dimensions. Its roots lie

in the neoliberal model of globalisation that emerged in the 1970s as a

response to declining rates of profit and wealth accumulation in developed

capitalist economies. It also included privatisation and commercialisation of

public services, such as in health, education, water and energy supply and

public transport. The model, in its endeavour to create a global market for

goods and services, promotes the integration of global economies and the

expansion and liberalization of global trade. <span></span></span></p>
