    Default 6000 word dissertation title?

    Hello all!
    I am a Sixth form student (16yrs) and I'm going to be writing a 6000 word dissertation on a subject of choice, I want to base it on communism, it has to be on a relatively narrow topic though,
    i was thinking something along the lines of:
    "The collapse of capitalism is inevitable, discuss" (perhaps after some event???)

    im not sure, can anyone offer any pointers, I have relatively good knowledge on Marxism so I won't be starting from scratch.

    Wow, I didn't know Henryk Grossman was read by people so young.

    If you wan't to write about crises, I'd advise against any such view which sees collapse as inevitable. Instead, you could write about the dynamics of capitalist accumulation which inevitably lead to the outbreak of crisis (basic Marxist analysis of the commodity form and capital). Anwar Shaikh's History of Crisis Theories is a good place to start (just google the title, it's online). It also offers a good account of why many modern accounts which are based on notions of income disparity and underconsumption don't make sense.
