Overhauling democracy by switching to corporate-like governance
Overhauling democracy by switching to corporate-like governance
With few exceptions, representative party democracy is dysfunctional due to structural deficiencies like "the impossibility of representation in groups", "the asymmetry of information", "the state capture by political parties", and the "uncoordinated administrative polycentrism". Hence, should circumstances render imperative a regime change, citizens should opt for digital citizen-managed democracy, which combines key elements from the direct dem…
Democracy and Money
The authors of this book argue that post-war fiscal and monetary policies in the U.S. are prone to more frequent and more destabilizing domestic and international financial crises. So, in the aftermath of the one that erupted in 2008, they propose that now we are sleepwalking into another, which under the prevailing institutional circumstances could develop into a worldwide financial Armageddon. Thinking ahead of such a calamity, this book presen…
Democracy and an Open-Economy World Order
Essays in Contemporary Economics
Creative Crisis in Democracy and Economy
Developments across the millennia suggest that, even though democracies and free market economies are continuously challenged by crises and disturbances, such as natural disasters, wars, or technological revolutions, in the countries where they take roots civil liberties deepen and per capita prosperity increases. To substantiate this claim analytically, the authors emphasize the principles that make free markets a sine qua non condition for demo…
The Athenian Democracy
The City-State of Ancient Athens as a Prototype for an Entrepreneurial and Managerial Society
Values and institutions as determinants of entrepreneurship in ancient Athens
This paper shows that in classical Athens, values and institutions encouraged many types of entrepreneurship. Successful entrepreneurs received social and political distinctions, and some entrepreneurial slaves gained their freedom. However, to deter extreme individualism, success in business was judged by the means used to acquire wealth, rather than simply the amount of wealth acquired. The system encouraged those entrepreneurs who were esteeme…

A Statistical Theory of Expenditures in Capital Maintenance and Repair
This study introduces an econometric model to explain the determinants of expenditures in capital maintenance and repair and, indirectly, to question the assumption implicit in most investment studies that such expenditures do not "matter" in the process of capital accumulation. The model is estimated by a consistent-systems technique, with data pertaining to the rolling stock of class-I line-haul railways in the United States from 1944-70. The e…
