Capitalism, Development and Empowerment of Labour
The dominant neoliberal approach presents politics and political economy as nuisances which disturb the smooth operation of self-regulating markets. But political economy is not merely an academic issue – it is a class issue, and this book forcefully argues that political economy should return to a central position in the study of the social sciences. Offering nothing less than a reconciliation of Marxian, Keynesian and neoclassical economics, th…
La amenaza inminente de la globalización de las rentas y la defensa del capitalismo por la clase obrera
El presente artículo argumenta que la globalización no conduce necesariamente a un sistema mundial de economías capitalistas. Bajo condiciones prevalecientes de desempoderamiento de la clase trabajadora, el capitalismo es demasiado débil para transformar economías subdesarrolladas basadas en rentas. La globalización es impulsada por la devaluación de la moneda transformando la nueva ventaja comparativa en competitividad de costos. El controlador …
Impending Threat of Rent Globalization and the Defence of Capitalism by Labour
It is wrong that globalization necessarily leads to a world system where all participating economies are capitalist economies. Under the prevailing conditions of disempowerment of labour, capitalism is too weak to transform rent-based underdeveloped economies. Globalization is driven by currency devaluation, which transforms new comparative advantage into cost competitiveness. The major check on devaluation is full employment. It is often not ach…

Les illusions françaises et la guerre d'Algérie dans l'historiographie. Entre nostalgie et constat d'une décolonisation inévitable
La relecture de la bibliographie sur la guerre d'Algérie permet de tracer les grandes lignes de la politique française durant cette période. Puissance dépendante du jeu des superpuissances, la France ne peut risquer de s'isoler des grands courants de la politique internationale. Elle se déchire entre une majorité qui refuse l'intégration des populations algériennes et l'indépendance de l'Algérie et une minorité activiste, notamment dans l'armée, …

Comment approfondir la coopération entre rive nord et rive sud de la Méditerranée
Une véritable coopération euro-méditerranéenne ne peut s’établir sans ouvrir au monde arabe l’accès au développement par l’industrialisation. Sans surplus agricoles, le monde arabe ne peut pas suivre la stratégie de l’Est asiatique de la dévaluation massive permettant de devenir compétitif en matière d’exportation de produits manufacturés. L’Union européenne pourrait remédier à ce manque de surplus agricoles en affectant ses propres surplus agric…

The Rise of New Cultural Identitarian Movements in Africa and Asia in the Emerging Multipolar System
The rise of new cultural identitarian movements is explained by changing politico-economic conditions at the global and the local level, which led to the decline of the secular elites. These movements are the result of the collapse of the state classes, which had been formed by the secular wings of the national liberation movements and had engaged in import-substituting industrialization on the basis of enhanced claims for better terms of trade. …
Theorie der Sozialen Demokratie
Rente und subnationale Gewalt. Der Beitrag der politischen Ökonomie
Rents are a basic element of the political economy of underdeveloped economies. They hinder and often block the mechanism of social integration through gainful employment and veto the power of labour, which characterizes capitalist societies and the constitution of citizenship. The impact of rent on political structures is, however, ambiguous. Anomie is only one possible result. Hence the link between raw material exports and non-state violence i…
Theorie der Sozialen Demokratie
Die Demokratietheorie kennzeichnet ein merkwÃ1⁄4rdiges Paradox. Während die kapitalistische Marktwirtschaft zumeist als ermöglichende Bedingung liberaler Demokratie verstanden wird, gelten die radikalen Ungleichheiten, die sie erzeugt, zugleich auch als eine ihrer zentralen Gefährdungen. Die hier vorgelegte Theorie der sozialen Demokratie klärt die Bedingungen, die erfÃ1⁄4llt sein mÃ1⁄4ssen, wenn der Anspruch rechtsstaatlicher Demokratie uneinges…
Capitalisme d'État ou société bureaucratique de développement
Increasingly, one can observe the power of the state extending into the modem sector of Third World economies. Different types of cooperative relationships are established with multinational corporations, even to the point of excluding them altogether. A considerable part of the literature suggests that in this instance there is the formation of dependent capitalist societies, what could be referred to as state capitalism. Such a definition is co…
Productivity, Wages, Profits, and Exchange Rates in an Era of Globalization
Worldwide devaluation races lead to the globalization of rent instead of profit and autonomy of civil society. This specific pattern of today’s globalization goes with serious underconsumptionist tendencies as self-sufficiency in wage goods production is achieved in economies with a very low marginal product of labour in agriculture and structural unemployment which disempowers all labour. The 19th century likewise intensive globalization was cha…

Rent, State and the Market
In opposition to the now generalised critique of rent-seeking the following contribution establishes the inevitable character of the emergence of a rent problem in nearly any transition to capitalism from pre-capitalist relations of production. The only possibility of avoiding this possibility would be a rapid demographic decline or an equally rapid increase in availability of productive land. This rent problem in underdeveloped countries is aggr…
Le nouveau Nord-Sud dans le nouveau système international
Hartmut Elsenhans, The New North-South in the New International System Despite the triumph of welfare state capitalism in the rivalry with statist real socialism, the economic impact of the capitalist center on the rest of the world is not sufficient for creating the conditions for capitalist growth. The rentier state will continue to exist in the South despite decreasing volumes of rent. The persistence of poverty in the South will erode the bar…
Rising mass incomes as a condition of capitalist growth
The rise of capitalism in Western Europe was based on rising mass incomes and a political power relationship favorable to the lower classes, which created opportunities for profitable investment. Nowhere in today's underdeveloped world did such conditions exist before the European expansion; nowhere were they created by the mere fact of integration into the capitalist world system. Thus the periphery has been ever more disadvantaged by its connec…

This pattern was set even before the industrial revolution and not only through economic means.

Absorbing Global Surplus Labor
Capitalist economies need rising wages to keep up demand for increasing output. But the increasing availability of Third World surplus labor for world-market production threatens to uncouple wages from the development of productivity and to create, thus, a global deficit of demand that will profoundly disturb the growth mechanism of the capitalist world economy. None of the counterarguments that are brought up in the debate on the low-wage danger…
