June 2021 – The dominant view is that the COVID-19 crisis is simply an external, “black swan” event, a rare, unpredictable, and unlikely to be repeated occurrence that has entered from outside the system. The world capitalist economy, we are informed, was fundamentally sound prior to the advent of this unforeseen exogenous shock, and it will revive quickly once the SARS-CoV-2 virus is under control.
