Transcending the Economy
The Positive Political Economy of Individualism and Collectivism
In rich capitalist countries, Liberal political cultures mix ideas from Thomas Hobbes, John Locke, and Jean-Jacques Rousseau: both laissez-faire and New Deal Liberals value maintenance of societal order, protection of individual property, and consent by the governed. But when aggressive competition abets inequality, disrupts communities, undermines consensus, and encourages disorder, this mix is increasingly contradictory. One response is what Sa…

Roemer's “General” Theory of Exploitation Is a Special Case
In a series of recent writings, John Roemer (1982a, 1982b, 1985, 1988) has made a provocative claim: exploitation and class are merely second-order concepts within Marxian theory, because both phenomena derive directly from differential ownership of productive assets (DOPA); indeed, exploitation remains a consistent index of economic injustice only if a “property relations” conception of exploitation replaces the common “labor-value” view. In sum…
Paradigms as Ideologies
nication. We need a simple framework to explain the Marxian totality. Communication further requires that we go beyond those (e.g., McCloskey, 1986) who see differences as primarily matters of rhetoric and sneering. Rather, we should admit frankly that paradigms are strongly influenced by ideology, i.e., basic sociopolitical assumptions and biases. No human, despite pretensions of objectivity or scientific method, can escape the influence of her …
What is 'simple labour'? A re-examination of the value-creating capacity of skilled labour
Examining the century-old controversy over the meaning of 'simple labour', the author argues for an approach which distinguishes between simple, average and marginal labour. These distinctions are used to shed light on relations within the working class under the accumulation process
The Microeconomics of Conflict and Hierarchy in Capitalist Production
This paper develops a formal model of worker-employer relations within capitalist firms. The results illuminate the effects of property rela tions on the organization of work, the monitoring of workers, the extent of wage hierarchies and incentives and inefficiencies in such firms. A comparison model of a workers' cooperative demonstrates that the nature of the political-economic system, not just technology or information and transaction costs, a…
