What is to be done? Review article of Busting the Bankers’ Club
These two recent contributions offer complementary perspectives on the financial consequences of the Great Financial Crisis (GFC), Covid and continuing financial instability. Epstein identifies a ‘capture’ of US government by a ‘bankers’ club’, presenting an impassioned account of its dysfunctional influence and deleterious consequences. Konings is equally critical of finance’s dominance, but he delves deeper to reveal the emergence and consolida…
Money, Credit, and Finance in Capitalism
The analysis of money was impaired by the disciplinary separation of economics and sociology following the Methodenstreit. Sociology abnegated responsibility for its study to economics, which treated it as a relatively unimportant “neutral veil” over the operation of the “real” economy. Weber worked to overcome the disciplinary balkanization, but ironically this has led to a neglect of his contributions to the analysis of money’s role in capitali…

The Great Divergence
The longstanding question of China's economic stagnation after the sixteenth century and failure to emulate Western Europe's nineteenth century capitalist industrialisation was revitalised by the 'California School' of economic history's account of this 'great divergence'. It focuses on material factor endowments and technology and firmly rejects earlier explanations which had attributed the different paths of development to the West's institutio…

The Specificity of Money
In “Laundering ‘money’: on the need for conceptual clarity within the sociology of money”, ( Archives Européennes de Sociologie , XLVI, 3 (2005), pp. 387–411, Nigel Dodd tells us that recent work has added further complications to an existing “conceptual muddle” in the sociology of money, and advances a claim to have made matters clearer (Dodd 2005a). The “muddle” is identified in the work of Cohen (2004), Hart (2000), Zelizer (1994, 2000), and i…
Viviana Zelizer, « l'argent social »
Cet article présente une discussion du livre de Viviana Zelizer, La signification sociale de l’argent, en comparant de manière plus générale sociologie de l’économie en France et en Amérique du Nord, tout en remarquant une certaine conver-gence entre ces deux courants longtemps séparés
Further reflections on the ontology of money
The debate on the nature of money, its origins and conditions of existence has been recently taken further in separate articles in Economy and Society by Lapavitsas and Dodd. Both criticize Ingham's elaboration of Keynes's contention that the money of account is the primary concept in a theory of money. Lapavitisas reiterates and extends his Marxist analysis of money's origins as a universal equivalent in commodity exchange. This fails to explain…
Schumpeter and Weber on the Institutions of Capitalism
In a 'new introduction' to their work, Richard Swedberg (2002) argues that Weber and Schumpeter's 'economic sociology of capitalism' contains a 'puzzle'. Weber and Schumpeter are said to believe that a vigorous capitalism requires 'something else' in addition to the institutions outlined in their respective ideal types and theories. Dynamic capitalism requires individuals who possess a distinctive 'mentality' or 'inner motivation' - that is, a 'c…
Shock Therapy in the City
Fundamentals of a theory of money
This article criticizes both the 'Marxist' and 'sociological' conceptualizations of money to be found in the recent debate between Fine, Lapavitsas and Zelizer in Economy and Society . They neglect important contributions to the theory of money, especially the 'credit' and 'state' theories of money in the social sciences. These emphasize, as did Keynes, the central theoretical importance of money of account . These approaches were banished from o…

Class Inequality and the Social Production of Money
Commencant par une critique des theories classiques des classes, l'A. se dirige vers ce qu'il considere comme un facteur majeur de la polarisation sociale, a savoir la domination croissante du capital financier dans le capitalisme contemporain. Il estime qu'en definissant les classes en relation a la seule activite productive, les theories classiques ont echoue dans l'apprehension de l'argent comme relation sociale, et plus particulierement dans …
Capitalism, money and banking
A conception of money as a ‘neutral veil’ masking a ‘real’ economy was adopted by orthodox economic theory after the Methodenstreit , and is also to be found, in a different form, in Marxian political economy. Both derive from an erroneous functionalist and anachronistic ‘commodity’ theory of money which, as Post‐Keynesian economists argue, cannot explain the distinctive form of capitalist credit‐money. Orthodox economic theory and classic Marxis…
On the Underdevelopment of the 'Sociology of Money
As a result of the division of intellectual labour that followed the Methodenstreit in the social sciences, sociology neglected the analysis of the social production of money and has concentrated instead on its social effects or social meanings. Moreover, sociology tacitly endorsed the flawed conception of money as a 'veil' masking either the 'real' economy or the 'social relations' of production. Building on the approach of the 'historical schoo…
Money is a Social Relation
Money continues to present theoretical and conceptual difficulties for mainstream neoclassical micro- and macroeconomics. In most treatments it is "neutral," as either: a symbolic "veil" over an underlying "real" economy; a special "commodity" with utility for the rational maximizing individual; or as part of a model of aggregate economic "variables." The methodological assumptions of these approaches cannot account for the fundamental characteri…

Organizational Size, Orientation to Work and Industrial Behaviour
Evidence regarding the inverse relationship between organizational size and organizational attachment (measured by rates of absenteeism and labour turnover) is examined. Two intervening variables have been isolated by previous studies, namely: functional specialization and bureaucratization. The manner in which these concepts have been used is examined critically. It is concluded that functional specialization varies independently of size and sho…
