Late capitalism

Late capitalism is a term sometimes used to refer to capitalism of the late 20th century. According to the Marxist economist Ernest Mandel[?], late-stage capitalism will be dominated by the machinations--or perhaps better, fluidities--of finance capital[?].

Late capitalism is also an important component of Fredric Jameson[?]'s influential analysis of postmodernism.
