Sur le techno-féodalisme: Entretien avec Evgeny Morozov
Evgeny Morozov : Vous prétendez qu’il y a des éléments féodaux dans le Bitcoin, car il n’existe pas de mécanisme démocratique d’attribution, favorisant ainsi les premiers venus. De façon intéressante, vous reliez le féodalisme à la démocratie ici, plutôt qu’au capitalisme. Si on réfléchit à la concurrence capitaliste – mais aussi aux activités de l’ombre que les marxistes ont tendance à regrouper sous le terme « accumulation initiale » (ou « prim…
Die ganze Geschichte: Meine Auseinandersetzung mit Europas Establishment
Une Modeste Proposition pour résoudre la crise de la zone euro (version 3.0)
L’Europe connaît une triple crise : bancaire, des dettes souveraines, et de l’investissement. Laisser les États-nations gérer ces crises ne peut que creuser les inégalités territoriales et aller vers la désagrégation de l’Europe. Celle-ci dispose pourtant d’institutions bancaires et financières qui lui permettent d’intervenir dans le respect des souverainetés nationales, tout en dessinant une voie de progrès européenne. L’article détaille la feui…
From Contagion to Incoherence towards a Model of the Unfolding Eurozone Crisis
Based on an account of the macroeconomic foundations and political economy underpinning European Monetary Union, this paper presents a simple dynamic model of the mutual reinforcement feedback between (i) the Eurozone's contagion dynamic and (ii) the policy responses of the European Union, including the creation of new institutions (e.g. the European Financial Stability Facility, EFSF, and European Stability Mechanism, ESM), the signing of new tr…
Capitalism According to Evolutionary Game Theory: The Impossibility of a Sufficiently Evolutionary Model of Historical Change
Evolutionary game theory has recently furnished some exciting theoretical and experimental insights regarding the birth of social power and discrimination. But can this type of theory illuminate the history and nature of capitalism? The answer turns out to be negative: evolutionary models are bound to remain either insufficiently evolutionary or hopelessly indeterminate. However, social theorists have much to gain from understanding what would br…
A Hard Spectre to Silence: Meghnad Desai's Marx's Revenge
The Global Minotaur
It is now common in Europe and Japan to consider the United States rhe economic model to emulate. With their economies continuing along the road of prolonged stagnation, mainstream commentators in Europe and Japan are busily seeking out the causes of their economies' malaise by comparing their micro-structures with those of the United States. Even tile recent savage downturn in the United States seems unlikely to alter tins trend. In Europe, just…
"Q&A Regarding "The Global Minotaur
Al Goldberg, an MR reader, sent us five questions regarding our article, "The Global Minotaur" (MR July-August 2003). Answering them may help clarify a number of important issues brought to light by our article as well as issues which are always current in the wider debates within contemporary political economy. We answer his questions one by one but sometimes digress to cover other potentially interesting topics.This article can also be found at…
Against Equality
In December 1999 two papers were published on the theme of inequality in journals of the American Economic Association. The first article (Welch, American Economic Review) celebrates inequality’s recent advances in conventional neoliberal fashion, as an essentially progressive force that spawns innovation and stimulates growth. The second article (Aghion et al., Journal of Economic Literature) presents contrary evidence that inequality has retard…
Some Experimental Evidence on the Evolution of Discrimination, Co‐Operation and Perceptions of Fairness
When two people agree to trade, they unlock a mutual benefit, resolve a potential conflict and gain in proportion to their relative 'aggression', eg the Hawk–Dove game. In an experiment with this game, a discriminatory convention evolved when half of the players were randomly assigned a red and the other half a blue label. Later, the same players were also offered the option of co‐operating. Those disadvantaged by the colour‐based discriminatory …

Freedom within Reason: From Axioms to Marxian Praxis
The a priori definitions of rationality and freedom that permeate orthodox economics in particular and the liberal discourse in general have important theoretical implications. A Hegelian critique of ahistorical approaches to the meaning of Liberty and Reason reveals insurmountable problems that the axiomatic approach inflicts upon game theory, contractarian theories of justice and Rational Choice Marxism. While the postmodern critique and the me…
