What defines global capitalism today? Are we moving into a new age of techno-feudalism, or is monopoly capitalism still the dominant force?In this in-depth interview, John Bellamy Foster, editor of Monthly Review and leading Marxist thinker, joins India & Global Left to unpack the core structure of global capitalism, imperialism, and the new global economic order.Foster challenges the popular idea of “techno-feudalism,” arguing that capitalism—not technology—still drives exploitation and inequality. He explains why this narrative often reflects social democratic illusions about technology, welfare states, and the role of the Global South.🔴🔴🔴Support Independent media to remain bold: https://patreon.com/IndiaGlobalLeftLink for donation: https://paypal.me/sankymudiar🔴🔴🔴Key topics discussed:The structure and logic of monopoly capitalism in the 21st centuryWhy Foster believes MAGA stands against peace, not militarismThe ties between MAGA ideologues, billionaires, and U.S. capitalThe tariff wars and economic nationalism of Trump and Peter NavarroFoster’s take on China’s economic system—state capitalism, market socialism, or something hybrid?The rise of Chinese tech giants like Alibaba and Tencent🔴🔴🔴Follow us on Substack: https://substack.com/@indiagloballeftTwitter: https://twitter.com/Indiagloballeft Instagram https://www.instagram.com/indiagloballeft/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61559411353392Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/69Y9iCWUv8ha3ATsPWtWk0?si=ee1f0de3de094f17Telegram: https://t.me/+WNlqoiv1Rhg5NjEx🔴🔴🔴📌 Keywords: John Bellamy Foster, techno-feudalism, monopoly capitalism, MAGA, U.S. imperialism, China economy, Marxism, Monthly Review, global capitalism, economic nationalism, Peter Navarro, Trump tariffs, Alibaba, Tencent, state capitalism, market socialism
