It's part of capitalism's deepest essence - to break bounds, to cross borders, to monetize all social relations without hindrance of law or custom. KARL: This is a rather abstract perception of modern capitalism. The laws of capital do not and cannot operate freely under modern capitalist social conditions. The law of value is constrained by the statal system. Even under what is termed, by some, globalisation there still operates a managed and relative liberalisation. Capitalism is so afraid of itself that it cannot allow its laws to operate freely because of their relentlessly subversive character which can lead to capital's very foundations being undemined by the working class. However I do supect that there may something in your criticism of the virtual perennial use of the term crisis among certain sections of the left.
