Capitalism and Imperialism
Capitalism and Imperialism

The main purpose of this article is to summarise the current thinking in the West about capitalism and capitalist imperialism. Inter alia, the nature of the state-market relationship and some popular misconceptions about globalisation are also looked into briefly.

Capitalism

Both the proponents and opponents of capitalism tend to treat capitalism as a rigid concept. That capitalism follows a given set of rules, that there is a definite demarcation between public and private sectors are the main assumptions behind this 'stable' concept. Capitalism is better seen as a fluid and evolving concept though. It has chang

mainstream development means -
basically a belief that economic progress will better the lot of humanity. This progress can come about only through large scale industrialisation, building of huge dams, oil extraction, mining, atomic power stations, etc. This is the western model of development adopted by many countries in the third world including China, India and Brazil.

It is observed though that besides the destruction of nature and climate, huge scale displacement of indigenous peoples takes place. Their survival systems are finished by multinationals or their native agent companies.
In India there are estimated to be 150-200 millions either displaced or adversely affected due to this model of development.They come to cities for livelihood, have no skills, and end up as half-starving labour in slums.

Gandhi offered an alternative - keep village self-sufficient and eco-friendly.

The proponents of such alternative development tend however to romanticise the traditional way of life.

The painting attempts to address these issues.

Feed-back welcome. Thanks.

Magnificent lines and great color.
I appreciate how the middle subject (village) is in the shape of a tree which can symbolize family trees, rooted history, growth, tender balance of elements...
great work.

The organisation of space both real and illusory is particularly satisfying in this piece

It's integrated in a wild way and challenges dimensional convention while remaining ordered at a higher level, if you know what I mean. I like it very much.

Cannot disagree with anything here, yet to me the western model is based purely on greed for wealth and all the disruption that happens around the world seems to be initiated by this endless desire by the very rich for more and more.
I do like the way your pictures tell a story - this is my idea of what art is really about. Well done. :tea: :-)
