They agreed that no bi-polar syndrome was involved in the economy and the strategies of capitalists, but rather that the cycles are generated by the dynamic of capitalism. Mandel believed that capitalismÂ’s self-destructive tendency was unavoidable, but that its upward turns were artificially produced by exogenous counter-cyclical factors.
Coincidieron en que no se trata de que la economía y las estrategias de los capitalistas tengan el síndrome bipolar, sino de que la dinámica del capitalismo genera esos ciclos. Mandel creía que la tendencia autodestructiva del capitalismo era ineluctable, pero que los repuntes ascendentes eran provocados artificialmente por factores exógenos contracíclicos.
