Here is a template to upload driving forces.
Description:
The Crisis in Capitalism relates to the poor distibution of the wealth. Capitalist relations of production come to serve as a brake on the development of the productive forces, in which capitalism has become a fully regressive mode of production
Enablers:
- The lack of food in some countries while others have surplus;
- The success of capitalism over communism with the dissolution of the Soviet Union;
- This apparent contradiction between restrained productive capacity and current overproduction.
Inhibitors:
- Distribution of the wealth amongst those who do not have it. For example charity work by wealthier people
Paradigms:
