Abstract

This is an essay on the social genesis and dynamics of accumulation in Europe. It focuses on the transformations in the perceptions and conceptions of social justice and human rights and their dialectical relationship with the socio-cultural transformations which enhanced this process of accumulation, and grew out of it.
The first section of the essay concentrates on the history of spiritual, social and cultural transformations in Western Europe. [...]
The second section is devoted to the genesis and dynamics of socialist accumulation in Eastern Europe, in the Soviet Union. [...]
The third and final section of this essay centers on processes and patterns which have shaped the present-day hegemonic world order and the nature of recent patterns of accumulation in which this order articulates itself. [...]
