Coming of Age
The Economic Surplus as a Fund for Social Change and Postneoliberal Governance
The central problem in capitalism today is not one of scarce resources clashing against innate, insatiable wants. Rather, the modern problem of monopoly capitalism is one of abundance of production clashing against scarcity of consumers. Indeed, sustaining growth while fighting against excess capacity proves to be the biggest battle in business today, fought by the capitalist power structure with the tools of neoliberalism and globalization. The …
Response to the Comment
The comment to “What is Heterodox Economics? Conversations with Historians of Economic Thought” spotlights critical issues in the possibility and probability of articulation and proposes a compelling argument in the explanation of the “inability of heterodoxy to define itself...” The core argument suggests that heterodox groups of economic thought cannot successfully articulate the nature of its varied programs until it recognizes and articulates…
What is Heterodox Economics? Conversations with Historians of Economic Thought
Since its intellectual inception, the development of the economics discipline has been accompanied by divergence of thought. Through the years, particularly in the latter half of the twentieth century, a fissure has emerged within the discipline, sociologically dividing conventional, mainstream economics from the dissention of heterodox economics. The nature of that division, however, as well as the nature of heterodox thought is unclear. Histori…
Kuhn, Thomas and Scientific Paradigms
Thomas S. Kuhn (1922–96) was born in Cincinnati, Ohio, and attended Harvard University. After graduating with a bachelor's degree in physics, Kuhn worked for the US government during World War II, then returned to Harvard for graduate study in physics. Having entertained an interest in philosophy since his undergraduate days, Kuhn agreed to teach a newly developed history of science class as part of his graduate work. As a result, in the last sta…
Forging new relationships
A theory of transitional economies is now emerging, much of which is evolutionary-institutional in nature and hence very critical of the naïveté of socalled shock therapy and the economic reasoning that supported it. Indeed it has become apparent that changing the formal rules of the game, difficult as this may be, is far from sufficient. The informal rules of the game, the customs and norms of the social order, are critical to the operation of t…
