The Told Story is Yours: Capitalism (As the Phenomenon of Western Mind in Economic Field—New Social Notion and Society Model of Global Capitalism: Open Society)

2013 
The aim of this study is to deal with the historical continuity of the concept of open society which is a conceptualization of a suitable society model of globalizing capitalism in the process of development of capitalism within the context of the way how it has created a suitable social notion and society form in the light of postmodern and postcolonial notions and processes. Capitalism has been developing under a freedom tale since its appearance. Since this freedom tale is the basic dynamic of its development, it is essential for western capitalism. The real analyst of capitalism, Marx, focuses on how capitalism becomes available through the freedom, rather liberation of capital and labour in his work German Ideology where he deals with how historical materialistic approach and capitalism has developed in Western Europe. For capitalism’s development everything which is solid must be vaporized, everything must be created again and again today; capitalism can provide its productivity basis through a society without past and the individual’s flying in space. The translation of this freedom is the individual’s becoming lonely within west, communities’ becoming lonely outside west. Freedom is played like a loneliness symphony. Individuals and communities whose safety barriers are broken will be easily exploited both as labour and as market. Non-western societies are traditional before modern, underdeveloped before the developed, close in post-capitalist period. Just as becoming modernizing, developing, westernizing is open doors to capitalist economy, now it is necessary to open to global capitalism. In this study, imperialist attitude of capitalism towards the non-western, and reactive process against it will be dealt with as three processes formed by changing needs with the development of capitalism: Colonialism; the 16th century and First World War, Anti-Colonialism; after the First World War, Post-colonialism; after 1980. As the borders of capitalism broaden, and as capitalism stretches in order to prevent objections to cover the globe, it can adapt to every new condition. This adaptation process lasts making the other subject and giving this role to the other. This subjecting process finds expression in new social literature as the hybridization of the west with the non-West. Thus, subjecting process is formed within some kind of subjecthood relationship.
