Merging Dugger’s Concepts with O’Hara’s Principles to Advance Social and Institutional Economics
The purpose of this paper is to situate, reconstruct, summarise and provide some research guidelines for advancing the scientific study of William M. Dugger’s concepts of social and institutional economics. We start by examining the nature of Dugger’s concepts and how we can dissect Dugger’s concepts with the aid of Phillip O’Hara’s principles. Then in the bulk of the paper we, firstly, contextualise these Duggerian concepts that have a direct be…

Eco-Sufficiency & Global Justice
This book, edited by Ariel Salleh, is a series of essays written by women social economists who are examining the historical and contemporary capitalist patriarchal anomalies of the world-system. T
Short-, Long-, and Secular-Wave Growth in the World Political Economy: Periodicity, Amplitude, and Phases for 8 Regions, 108 Countries, 1940-2010
This paper examines the complex evolution and metamorphosis of the global, continental, and national political economies over the period 1940 to 2010. The data used are Maddison's, mostly for 1940-60, and the World Bank online World Development Indicators database mainly for 1961-2010. Emphasis is given to changes in the rate of per capita economic growth over time, arranged by decades, including the periodicity, amplitude, and phases of short, l…
Stanfield’s Concepts of Social and Political Economy: Introduction to the Special Issue
This introduction to the special issue of the Forum for Social Economics discusses the conceptual advances made by James Ronald Stanfield that are critical to the future of social and political economy. We introduce the papers by Stanfield and O’Hara, which provide an overview of the conceptual advances. We then introduce the concepts of historical specificity, as well as policy and governance, and how they are need to be seen as interlinked into…
Economic Surplus, Social Reproduction, Nurturance and Love
This paper examines the contributions of James Ronald Stanfield to social and political economy. We start the analysis with Stanfield’s contribution to institution building through his education of PhD students, building a graduate program in political economy, and through the associations of social and political economy. Then we go on to scrutinise his creative developments and applications of the notions of economic surplus and social reproduct…

Can the principles of heterodox political economy explain its own re‐emergence and development
Purpose This paper seeks to evaluate how some of the core general principles of heterodox political economy (HPE) can be applied to the issue of how HPE has managed to undergo resurgence and development over recent decades. Design/methodology/approach Four major principles of heterodoxy are applied successively to this issue: historical specificity; contradiction; heterogeneous agents and groups; and circular and cumulative causation. Findings Th…
Heterodox Political Economy Specialization and Interconnection – Concepts of Contradiction, Heterogeneous Agents, Uneven Development
This paper extends the analysis presented by Marc Lavoie in this journal about the relationship between the major schools of heterodox political economy. We argue that the evolution of heterodoxy over the past four decades has seen both specialization and interconnection. The specialization has enabled a degree of detailed analysis of concepts, such as class, demand, institution, innovation, gender, ecology and development. Interconnections betwe…
Growth and development in the global political economy: Social structures of accumulation and modes of regulation
Recent institutional changes have seen the increasing dominance of globalization and neoliberalism in the world economy. As markets have been deregulated, privatization and unproductive government spending have been promoted. Yet the greater volatility of capitals, the emergence of many financial crises, a decline in trust, and environmental problems have cast doubt on the effectiveness of neoliberal globalization.This book studies the impact of …
Cultural Contradictions of Global Capitalism
In The Cultural Contradictions of Capitalism, Daniel Bell (1976) found that the decline of the bourgeois value system was brought about largely by the bourgeois economic system itself. In his opinion, the traditional values of American capitalism associated with the puritan temper and the protestant ethic were, from perhaps the 1960s onward, in conflict with the rising postmodern temper of the avant-garde and the different. He believed that the e…
A new family-community social structure
The purpose of this paper is to examine whether a new family-community social structure of accumulation (FSSA) has emerged in the Unites States to contribute to long-wave growth and development through the early decades of the 21st century. Institutions that promote system-functions or public goods are required for sustainable growth and development. Three dimensions of the potential FSSA institutions are examined in this paper, within the contex…
Recent changes to the IMF, WTO and SPD: Emerging global mode of regulation or social structure of accumulation for long wave upswing
This paper examines the degree to which a new global mode of regulation (MOR) or social structure of accumulation (SSA) has emerged which may help to promote long wave upswing in the world economy. A series of institutional proxies are employed in this paper. Attention is given to the system-functions of global productivity and demand , through the performance of the prevailing system of production-distribution (SPD); global financial stability ,…
The Role of Institutions and the Current Crises of Capitalism: A Reply to Howard Sherman and John Henry
INTRODUCTION I want to thank Howard Sherman and John Henry for their, by-and-large, sympathetic reviews of my book: Marx, Veblen and Contemporary Institutional Political Economy: Principles and Unstable Dynamics of Capitalism (O'Hara 2000). I also want to thank them for their overt and covert critical analyses of this work. In this right of reply I want to mention briefly some of the positive points made of my book, and then concentrate in some d…
Marx, Veblen, and Contemporary Institutional Political Economy: Principles and Unstable Dynamics of Capitalism
This book uses an institutional–evolutionary approach to analyse economic problems associated with developments in capitalism during the second half of the twentieth century. It argues that economics should centre on institutions – the durable fabric of the economy over time. Drawing on the foundations of Marxist and institutional political economy, the book traces the lineages of institutional themes, as well as considering feminist, post-Keynes…

Household Labor, the Family, and Macroeconomic Instability in the United States: 1940S–1990s
This paper studies the contribution household labor and the family made towards macroeconomic stability in the United States during the postwar war (1940s–1990s). Household labor has the potential to promote human communication, nutrition, emotional development, preparation for work, population growth, consumption, a latent reserve army of labor, total labor time, and work transfer in supermarkets. Such activities, on balance, positively conditio…
