Competitive Equilibrium and the Social Ethos
Economic explanations of inequality in liberal economies often appeal to social norms. This article argues that recent economic policies and institutional interventions, in favor of deregulation and away from participatory practices in both the political and economic spheres, have elicited norms that increasingly resemble those of the economic theory that has informed these interventions. This has altered the social ethos in an inegalitarian dire…
Homo Economicus , Political Economy and Socialism
Neither the critique of capitalism nor the search for socialist economic alternatives can avoid an explicit engagement with values. This entails rejecting homo economicus, which acts as a basic building block for both neoclassical economic theory and the defense of the market economic order. Socialists have much to learn from three recent literatures: on the ethical limitations of the market, endogenous preferences and the social determinants of …
Market constraints, economic performance and political power
This paper extends Wright's critique of Streeck's “Beneficial Constraints” paper to show why noncapitalist groups may rationally oppose deregulation even when constraints are beyond the level necessary for optimal economic performance. Starting from a point of “excessive” regulation, a move towards a state which is superior both in terms of economic efficiency and equity (defined as a redistribution in favour of the least well-off within the nonc…

Are Aggregate Consumption Relationships Similar Across the European Union
CARRUTH A., GIBSON H. and TSAKALOTOS E. (1999) Are aggregate consumption relationships similar across the European Union?, Reg. Studies 33 , 17-26. The answer to the question posed in the title of the paper may have some bearing on whether consumer spending will respond in similar ways to common shocks across the European Union. The DHSY model is implemented, its robustness and its commonality assessed for the 15 EU countries. The model performs …
The scope and limits of financial liberalisation in developing countries
This article reviews the growing literature on financial reform in developing countries. We draw both on the theoretical contributions outlining the case for and against liberalisation as well as on the experience of many developing countries with liberalisation. We argue that the existence of market failures in financial markets hampers the liberalisation process and indeed suggests that the simple liberalising strategy envisaged in much of the …
Corporatism and the European Labour Market after 1992
This paper addresses the question of the effect of labour market institutions on economic performance. It reviews evidence to show that the performances of highly centralized, or ‘corporatist’ economies, such as Sweden and Austria, have in the past been superior to those of the current EC members. It considers the implications of this for European labour markets given the process of European integration. It seems likely that Europe as a whole wil…
European Monetary Union and Macroeconomic Policy in Southern Europe
This paper discusses the prospects of Greece, Portugal and Spain completing stage 1 of the Delors plan. Much of the academic literature on the removal of capital controls seeks to extend the experience of the ERM countries in the 1980s. We argue that its applicability for southern Europe is not straightforward, because these countries have not had the same experience of operating the ‘old’ ERM with capital controls, and examine the implications f…
