Economics as Universal Science
Robert Heilbroner Economics as Universal Science ECONOMICS HAS BECOME THE IMPERIAL SOCIAL SCIENCE. IT IS THE ONLY branch of social inquiry that enjoys a Nobel prize. It has been celebrated in a massive four-volume, 4-million word “dictionary,” through which there runs, like an Ariadne’s thread, the assumption that economics has finally escaped the parochial boundaries of its former kingdom of production and distribution, and can now lay claim to …
The self‐deception of economics
Formalization has led contemporary economics to turn its back on the study of capitalism as the social order to which it owes its origins and its intrinsic analytical focus. As a consequence, contemporary economics turns a blind eye to the empirical analysis of capital accumulation, the real‐world properties of markets, and the bifurcation of political power that endow capitalism with its unique historical properties. Instead, economics takes sci…

Was Schumpeter Right After All
In Capitalism, Socialism, and Democracy (1947) Schumpeter asks “Can capitalism survive?” He answers: “No. I do not think it can.” In an essay I wrote in 1981 entitled “Was Schumpeter Right?” I began with the words: “No. I do not think he was.” Now, over a decade later, I wish to reconsider the question of whether Schumpeter was right, from a somewhat different point of view. To the question “Was Schumpeter Right?” I now give two answers. Was he r…

National Deficits and Debt
Reply to Du Boff; Rejoinder by Du Boff; Reply to Albert Prago
We write to reply to the singularly insensitive review by Richard Du Boff of our book The Debt and the Deficit (MR, December 1989). Our book begins from, and is addressed to, a single argument on which all stands or falls: that the deficit is ill understood, and for that reason constitutes a major barrier against effective social action in this country. Perhaps this is not the view of readers of the Monthly Review, who are not alarmed at the defi…
The Debt and the Deficit
The Coming Meltdown of Traditional Capitalism
Heilbroner challenges the concept that capitalism is purely an economic system and asserts it is rather a regime informed by social and political forces. The relentless pursuit of capital is the process by which the social order manifests its historical vigor. Within the regime of capitalism two realms of power and authority, the state and the economy, exist in a dialectic marked, in normal circumstances, by the concession of the incomparably mor…

Marxism
In the lucid style and engaging manner that have become his trademark, Robert L. Heilbroner explains and explores the central elements of Marxist thought: the meaning of a dialectical philosophy, the usefulness and problems of a materialist interpretation of history, the power of Marx's socioanalytic penetration of capitalism, and the hopes and disconcerting problems involved in a commitment to socialism. Scholarly without being academic, searchi…
