Marx no FMI

"The paper studies how high leverage and crises can arise as a result of changes in the income distribution. Empirically, the periods 1920-1929 and 1983-2008 both exhibited a large increase in the income share of the rich, a large increase in leverage for the remainder, and an eventual financial and real crisis. The paper presents a theoretical model where these features arise endogenously as a result of a shift in bargaining powers over incomes. A financial crisis can reduce leverage if it is very large and not accompanied by a real contraction. But restoration of the lower income group's bargaining power is more effective."

Por outras palavras, M. Kumhof e R. Rancière, dois economistas do FMI, consideram neste Working Paper do FMI que a actual crise tem origens na sobreprodução resultante do alargamento das desigualdades sociais.
