Project summary
As a rule, the current society system is defined as capitalist not only by Marxist but also by other critical authors; such a view affects the understanding of its machinery, development and ways of solving its problems. Hence, the aim of the project is to grasp the range of manifestations of its contradictory nature. In examining its contradictions, historical materialism, like other socio-critical theories, looks into their social-class conditionality, which develops in line with the changes in the economic, political and cultural life of society. On these grounds, we will analyse the deepening socio-economic and political contradictions of contemporary capitalism with a distinct neoliberal orientation, tracing the growth of conflict in these areas of social life as an integral part of complex examination of the status and development trends of the contemporary world.
