Worlds of Work: Peasants and Artisans, Engineers and Theorists
The essays in this volume take the readers into the complex world of work in early modern Europe. Carlo Poni explores this theme from multiple perspectives, examining work practices in agriculture, artisan production and the silk industry. Extensive archival material, analyzed with theories derived from Economics, illuminates the social relations and conflicts that arose from different work practices in agriculture, artisan production and the sil…
Political economy revisited: Structures and objectives at the systemic level
Political economy developed from profound transformations in economic and political life. The economic sphere extended from the management of individual units, such as households or the royal demesne , to a system defined as the collection of economic activities subject to sovereign authority, and characterized by widening webs of productive and social interdependencies across manifold units. In the political sphere, sovereign decisions came to b…
A Reappraisal of Albert Aftalion’s Theory of Structural Transformation in an Era of Decarbonization
Decarbonization is a momentous challenge for capitalism and makes one ask which changes in its morphology may be necessary to achieve that objective. The contribution by the French economist Albert Aftalion (1874–1956), with its emphasis on intermediate levels of aggregation (the “meso“ approach), the differentiated time profiles of economic actoivities, and their differential speeds of reaction to dynamic impulses, provides an invaluable heurist…
The Constitution of Political Economy: Polity, Society and the Commonweal
The two dominant conceptions of political economy are based on either reducing political decisions to rational-choice reasoning or, conversely, reducing economic structures and phenomena to the realm of politics. In this book, Adrian Pabst and Roberto Scazzieri contend that neither conception is convincing and argue for a fundamental rethinking of political economy. Developing a new approach at the interface of economic theory and political thoug…
Virtue, Production, and the Politics of Commerce: Genovesi's "Civil Economy" Revisited
Antonio Genovesi's economic-political treatise on civil economy was a major contribution to debates in the mid-and late eighteenth century on the nature of political economy. At that time, Genovesi's book was extensively translated and discussed across continental Europe and Latin America, where it was read as a foundational text of political economy similar to Adam Smith's Wealth of Nations. The aim of this article is to contribute to the analys…
The Palgrave Handbook of Political Economy
The aim of this Handbook is to outline the field of political economy as the domain of the interdependencies between the objectives of individuals and \ngroups within the polity and the internally structured constraints, posed by the material sphere, to the attainment of those objectives. This Handbook \ntranscends the received dichotomy between political economy as an application of rational choice theory or as the study of the causes of materia…
The Political Economy of Constitution
The distinction between constitution, as the set of fundamental normative premises ensuring the cohesion of any given polity, and contract, as the formal covenant agreed upon by the relevant stakeholders in that polity, is central to political economy. This paper outlines a conceptual framework for the political economy of constitution based on the above distinction. Our argument is that constitution in the material sense, that is, as a relativel…
Resources,scarcitiesand rents: Technological interdependence and the dynamics of socio-economic structures
The aim of this paper is to draw together the manifold lines of investigations pursued in the volume 'Resources, Production and Structural Dynamics' , to discuss their common core, and to suggest further lines of research. Three principal fields of inquiry are central in the investigative strategy of the volume: 1 The first is the economic theory of structural scarcities. Structural scarcities may derive from different sources. There are structur…

Markets, Money and Capital: Hicksian Economics for the Twenty First Century
Sir John Hicks (1904–89) was a leading economic theorist of the twentieth century, and along with Kenneth Arrow was awarded the Nobel Prize in 1972. His work addressed central topics in economic theory, such as value, money, capital and growth. This emphasis on the virtue of imperfection significantly distances Hicksian economics from both the Keynesian and Monetarist approaches. Containing contributions from distinguished theorists in their own …
