Some people are preparing for establishing self-supply of food and energy for their families, smaller or larger local communities. We could interpret it on a broader horizon that they are preparing for the state default or looking at it from a more general approach for the system defaulting.

Wallerstein defines the world-systems analysis in fact as a historical-social discipline developed after the World War II. But actually the capitalism theory elaborated by Marx and Engels was unquestionable a “world-systems” theory, which can be proven by many citations. They even studied the consequences of the surviving pre-capitalist relations. Nevertheless, the role of the world-systems analysis should be highlighted in understanding the present global capitalism as a unified system.

1968 mass movements played a determining role in the emergence of this new-leftist school of thought of the most significant scientific importance. These movements rejected both the bourgeois society and the state socialism. Nevertheless, the background for the world-systems analysis was set by the emergence of a new era of the capitalist world economy and theoretical problems as well. The Marxian and world-system analysis approach are different to the falling rate of profit, because the first bases it on the expropriation of surplus labour and the latter on oligopolistic price setting.
