Economic and Political Democracy in Complex Times
The concept of economic democracy is traditionally identi?ed with workplace democracy and participation at the enterprise level. This is a very important dimension, but the concept of new economic democracy also recognizes that, in a world of increasing complexity, the principles of democratic deliberation and social participation have to be applied to other areas as well. This book takes a fresh look at economic democracy from various perspectiv…
International Mobility of the Wealthy in an Age of Growing Inequality
The global economy and society are affected by the rising inequality in income and wealth along with an increasing frequency and severity of financial crises, tendencies for protectionism, and fragmented globalization. A largely unexplored topic in migration analysis is the international mobility of the wealthy and their assets, looking for countries that offer financial security, lower taxation, good educational facilities, safe cities, and othe…

Chile and the Neoliberal Trap

This book draws on survey evidence, detailed analysis of case studies, and comparisons across countries and regions, and paints a picture of remittance flows t…
Reassessing social policies in Latin America
This paper examines the analytical bases of social policy in Latin America, as illustrated by empirical data. It finds that the dominant approach is based on the following premises: (i) economic growth is the primary mechanism for poverty reduction; (ii) social expenditure should focus mainly on the ?really poor?; (iii) private-sector provision of education, health and pension services should be encouraged; and (iv) emergency social protection pr…
International Migration and the Global Economic Order
Global capitalism, vintage 21st century, is less friendly to the international migration of unskilled people than were previous waves of globalization (such as that of the late 19th century). A freer regime for international migration could help to reduce global economic inequality, improve the allocation of world resources and ease labor shortages during periods of rapid growth. But the flight of human capital talent, and entrepreneurs can be de…

The Transition and the Political Economy of African Socialist Countries at War (Angola and Mozambique)
The difficulties of the economic transition of socialist countries at war in lusophone Africa — Angola and Mozambique — cannot be understood without bringing to the analysis the political economy of these two countries. In the last three decades these nations suffered both the social and economic dislocation of the later years of their colonial era and then the strains of the post-independence period. A particularly unfavourable conjuncture follo…
Growth, distributive justice and social policy
After more than a decade of economic reform and structural adjustment in the developing countries, there is increased recognition that economic growth and social equity must go hand in hand. This article starts by asking what is meant by “social equity". It notes that reduction of poverty and improvement of income distribution are two perfectly complementary policy objectives, since less inequality can help both to reduce poverty and to speed up …
