The Aftermath of the Financial Crisis: Continuity and Little Change
Academic literature on the global financial crisis (GFC) continues unabated, prompted in large part by the lack of any profound changes arising in its aftermath. In addition to the sifting of evidence, researchers are using the opportunity to test theories and apply new meta-theoretical tools. Unfortunately, particularly in the case of the latter, the claims made on their behalf are insufficiently supported by the results of their application. Th…
Questionable Interventions: The Enduring Myth of Laissez-Faire
The aftermath of the global financial crisis that began in 2007 in the United States and has yet to end has demonstrated the durability of policies and analytical frameworks that have characterised the neoliberal era. Among these has been a strong rhetorical commitment to market-based institutions as synonymous with individual freedom, in contradistinction to the inefficient, bureaucratic state. This has disguised what amounts to a reconfiguratio…
Globalisation, Hegemony and Perspective
Globalisation has been treated as a homogenising, even Americanising, process. Its complex nature means that its effects can be observed at various levels of analysis: economic, political, social, cultural and legal. The books under review here tackle different aspects of globalisation, with the overarching theme of US hegemony and how that has been employed in the reconfiguration of the global order. Two titles deal specifically with British dec…
From Hubris to Nemesis: Tackling US Decline
US decline is a subject currently much in vogue, given the military debacles in Iraq and Afghanistan, combined with the financial crisis that has unfolded since 2007 and a clearly dysfunctional political system. The titles under review here place the current disarray in wider historical context while addressing particular features of US policy that have resulted in commonly acknowledged failure and which, cumulatively, have led to the present cri…
Tackling the Financial Crisis
Following the onset of the global financial crisis in 2007, there has been an abundance of books and articles purporting to explain its causes and consequences, with some offering tentative remedies. One of the major targets of criticism was the economics profession, which ignored the warnings of impending catastrophe prior to the onset of the crisis. As a result its public esteem suffered, much like that of the bankers and other professional gro…

Unhealthy Accumulation: The Globalization of Health Care Privatization
Health care reform in the industrialized countries, enacted during the last two decades, is entering a new phase of consolidation and further development, now extending to the less developed countries. This marks a significant element of the more general phenomenon commonly referred to as "globalization." This paper examines how the processes of institutional reform and adjustment have been and are being managed, toward the projected end of a glo…

State Versus Society: The Political Sociology of Irving Louis Horowitz
As well as being a prolific contributor to the discipline of sociology, Irving Louis Horowitz has consistently attracted controversy. His earlier associations with C. Wright Mills and the New Left contrast with his present day affinities with neoconservative thought. This paper attempts to appraise Horowitz's career by focusing on his primary interest, political sociology. In this way it is intended that, despite the apparently significant change…

Traditions in thought: The case of Scottish political economy
A number of commentators have recently identified a 'uniquely Scottish mode of thought in economics', or a particular 'Scottish political economy tradition'. In this paper the concept of tradition, defined as those features common to practitioners over a relatively long period, is investigated in relation to 'school', 'paradigm' and 'research programme'. An application of the concept to the Scottish Enlightenment period suggests that its use is i…
Inequality: Radical Institutionalist Views on Race, Gender, Class and Nation
The poverty of rhetoricism: Popper, Mises and the riches of historicism
The attacks on historicism by radical individualists such as Popper and Mises have had lasting repercussions in the social sciences. Specifically, the term is used to connote deterministic, teleological theories of history, associated with Hegelian notions of destiny and positivist ideas of historical laws. This article argues that historicism is very different in character, in that it essentially amounts to the belief that social science and his…
