Republican Rules of Reproduction and “Flipping the Script” on U.S. Health Care Reform
Given the relatively conservative and marketized nature of U.S. health care reform, it remains unclear both why Republican resistance has been so intractable through much of the Affordable Care Act's (ACA's) tenure and why it has so suddenly receded into the background. This article seeks an explanatory mechanism to make sense of the ACA's changing historical fortunes, from enactment to the present. It argues that the Republican Party's “rules of…
Deal They Can't Resist
This work argues that a component part of US neoliberalism involves adaptive accumulation , a process in which capital seeks to enlarge public programs, as a means to reroute public revenues into private revenue streams. Along the way, corporations project quasi-public aspirations as a central part of their commercial mission, as the state carves out new – or expands old – areas of accumulative growth for corporate America
Adaptive accumulation’ and US political economy
According to popular and academic understandings of political economy, the United States is characterised by the most open forms of free market production. From Marxist to institutionalist to liberal analyses, the US is said to exhibits a governance model in which state structures are minimally intrusive to capitalist civil society. There is a need for political economy that re-positions the US state as more than just a willing facilitator, lende…
Encoding Capital
Power, Money, and Trade
History, technology, and the capitalist state
The assumption that technological innovation constitutes an inevitable facet of something called ‘globalisation’ is called into question by comparative historical investigation. In the areas of biotechnology and genome research, for instance, the United States and Germany – two advanced industrial states – have demonstrated remarkably different historical trajectories. While the US was a driving force behind the explosion of biotechnology as an i…
Biomania' and US Foreign Policy
This paper considers the increasing prominence of bioterror as a national security threat in the United States. It highlights the powerful discursive strategies surrounding bioterror — resident in academic and policymaking circles — and relates them to corresponding US practices across the domestic-foreign policy continuum. In this regard, both US multilateral action concerning biological weapons and national public `preparedness' programmes are …
International restructuring, health and the advanced industrial state
Gene Production
Following on the heels of this century's two large-scale scientific endeavours, particle physics and the space programme, there is a new contender in the domain of big science: genome research.' Regularly characterized as the pinnacle of an ongoing biological and technological revolution, this research is anchored by the Human Genome Project (HGP) - set up to locate, map and sequence the full complement of human genetic material by 2005
Control from Within? Power, Identity, and the Human Genome Project
As this century approaches its conclusion, biological research has been gearing up for a total revolution that will almost certainly alter the way societies imagine and interact with the human body. While determined social effects do not necessarily result from the emergence of any science or technology, their combination with already existing human relations can lead to drastic societal change. In the case of the Human Genome Project a research …
