Shredding Paper
Michael Hillard’s Shredding Paper: The Rise and Fall of Maine’s Mighty Paper Industry is both a labor history of the paper industry and a political economy of corporate governance and class struggle in the United States. As a labor historian, Hillard has compiled thousands of hours of interviews with paper-industry workers and managers. As a political economist, he persuasively argues that contests over the distribution of surplus from the 1960s …
Democratic Socialism
This essay traces the development of the phrase “democratic socialism” from the early nineteenth century to the present, especially in relation to “social democracy” and “communism.” These meanings have changed over time, with democratic socialism and social democracy indicating the opposite of what they meant a century ago when social democracy was the more and democratic socialism the less radical position. The collapse of the Soviet Union and …
Professor Resnick Is Mean, or Productive Misinterpretation in Economics Pedagogy
This essay examines the role of theory and history in Stephen Resnick’s teaching. An undergraduate student thinks Resnick hates poor people because of his rigorous presentation of the links between assumptions and policy conclusions in neoclassical economics. Another graduate student believes Resnick knows little economic history because of his focus on the development of a theoretical framework almost to the exclusion of historical narrative. Th…
The Development of Social Economy in France Since 1945
The social economy is large and legally embedded in France yet its institutions and practices are poorly understood in the English-speaking world. The roots of the social economy lie in pre-Marxian socialism, the labor movement, and social Catholicism. Marginalized after World War II, the theory and practice of social economy made a comeback with the “second left” of the 1970s and 1980s, including a particular emphasis on self-management or “auto…

Imperialism in the Twenty-First Century
John Smith’s Imperialism in the Twenty-First Century connects the theory of imperialism to Marx’s value theory and accounts for the most important changes in global capitalism since Lenin’s time: namely, global labor arbitrage and outsourcing. His criticism of the standard statistical measure of GDP and wages is innovative and enlightening, and he effectively connects the global crisis of the early twenty-first century to the new international di…
A New Kind of Class Situation
Graham Cassano calls on Louis Althusser’s concept of interpellation to understand the relationship between audiences and the socially conscious films of the New Deal period. These films called forth a new kind of working-class audience while that audience was itself developing out of the trauma of the Great Depression, which made the films possible. Working-class filmgoers were able to recognize themselves in these films as part of a “class situa…
At the Edge of Camelot, by Donald W. Katzner
Don Katzner's At the Edge of Camelot documents the peculiar and overdetermined conjuncture that allowed for the creation of a radical economics department at the University of Massachusetts Amherst in the early 1970s. As a participant/observer, this reviewer finds Katzner's description of the competing paradigms in the department's early days off the mark, and his discussion of the department's later history is missing the conflicts that led to t…
Combined Development and the Critique of International Political Economy
Radhika Desai's Geopolitical Economy makes a persuasive case for a geopolitical interpretation of international finance. Her argument depends on a particular reading of international economic history in which U.S. hegemony is definitely over, which may or may not be true. The judgment that the strategies of U.S. elites have failed seems largely incorrect, though these strategies have certainly changed with the continued rise of productivity growt…

From Workers' Rights to Worker Appropriation A Response to Joseph A. McCartin
There has been little examination of the possible negative effects on labor's interests when those interests are asserted as rights. It is as if proclaiming “workers' rights are human rights” can only cause good things to happen. Joseph McCartin's essay contributes to a more balanced and sophisticated discussion of the effects of rights talk for labor. He uses George McGovern's critique of the Employee Free Choice Act (EFCA) to illustrate the mor…
Shopping with Octave
An American economist interviews a character from a recent popular French novel while walking through the Saint-Germain-des-Prés neighborhood in Paris. They discuss marketing, cultural hegemony, and art. The economist offers the character an academic text on advertising and capitalism. They conclude the interview the following day discussing the difference between authenticity and farce. © 2010 Association for Economic and Social Analysis
Response to Theodore Burczak, George DeMartino, and Kenan Erçel
The commentators present a convincing argument that achievement of the rights of freedom of association and collective bargaining is "not enough." The book should have included a stronger case for the achievement of such a right as a valuable and practical step toward replacing waged with associated labor and directly improving material living standards. I reaffirm the book's critique of contemporary rights theory, especially the individualism th…
IR Experts' and the New Deal State
This essay develops and applies Resnick and Wolff's conception of 'subsumed classes', groups that receive a portion of surplus value for helping capitalists reproduce their class position. We profile the rise and fall of one such subsumed class, the industrial relations (IR) experts whose theories and practices sought to depoliticize and curb the militancy of the US labor movement. We argue that these IR experts established themselves as a subsum…

Remarx
We rethink the “working class” in terms of changes in the labor process and the links between capitalist workplace and household to clarify who is struggling over what in the early twenty-first century. Work has been geographically dispersed and feminized. Some analysts see these changes as conditions for new forms of working-class organization, but the crisis of the household in the United States calls such an analysis into question. © 2007, Tay…
John R. Commons and the Problem of International Labor Rights
Those familiar with the work of Karl Polanyi will not find it surprising that increased international economic integration since the 1970s has brought forth protest about its destabilizing effects. Among the most pressing issues debated by scholars seeking to ameliorate those effects is the matter of creating and enforcing an appropriate system of international core labor rights. Not surprisingly, there has been considerable disagreement among ec…

The Banking Crises and Housing Finance
This paper explains current problems in the housing and banking industries by reviewing the history of the post‐New Deal U. S. banking system as it relates to housing finance. Current problems in banking and housing are seen as the result of the interaction of long waves of growth and decline in the U.S. economy and structured conflict over financial regulation between large commercial banks and a shifting alliance of other social groups. Contemp…
The Political Economy and Class Analytics of International Capital Flows
The weakening of working class and popular organisations that is often attributed to the growing power of transnational corporations is an aspect of a generalised restructuring of class relations in both core and periphery. With class, rather than power or wealth, as our theoretical entry point, it appears that the state retains influence over international flows of industrial and banking capital
Brave New Corporate World
Public concern with the dangers of corporate power reached a feverish pitch in the early 1970s. Bills designed to control perceived abuses were passed by Congress, establishing the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the Occupational Safety and Health Agency (OSHA) and curbing the widespread practice of overseas bribery. This antimonopoly fervor peaked with the attempt to nationalize the oil industry, and with Congressional consideration of…
