Money as a “Social Power”
Marx’s concepts of commodity and money fetishism explain the perception that money and commodities have “value,” presumably as part of their intrinsic properties. In fact, the exchange value of commodities and money results from living labor and the extraction of surplus value. With a historic review of the institutions for production, circulation, and credit, this appearance of capitalism can be explained. Further, the view that money is valuabl…
Genealogy of Finance
In periods of history with rapid social and economic change, it is useful to examine the long-term history of particular arrangements. Money is one of these institutions that seems eternal and unchanging, but that has changed dramatically over time. For example, money was typically conceived as coins made of precious metal and stamped with the image of the ruler. As long-distance trade expanded in the early modern period, money was represented by…
Ukraine War
There are competing narratives regarding the causes of the war in Ukraine. One focuses on the provocation by the United States and the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, while others emphasize Russian aggression. The approach implemented below is to focus on the long-term contradictions of capitalism, including the formation of Communist states themselves in Russia in 1917 and China in 1949. The subsequent relation between capitalist industrial …

Postone’s Legacy
This article reviews Moishe Postone’s basic concepts, particularly his notion of “temporality.” An invaluable resource for this consideration is the spring 2020 issue of Critical Historical Studies and the associated conference organized to honor Postone’s legacy. I examine the notion of time with respect to socially necessary abstract labor in production as well as the time necessary for the completion of financial circuits. I explore the role o…
The End of Individualism and the Economy
Individualism has been one of the driving forces in the rise of modern capitalism, and methodological individualism has been dominant in social science for many years. In this paradigm the economy is seen as a machine to routinize production and improve efficiency, and the discipline of economics has come to focus on control and automation. Recent innovations in natural and social sciences, however, indicate a shift in thinking away from individu…
Money as a Social Institution
Money is usually understood as a valuable object, the value of which is attributed to it by its users and which other users recognize. It serves to link disparate institutions, providing a disguised whole and prime tool for the “invisible hand” of the market. This book offers an interpretation of money as a social institution. Money provides the link between the household and the firm, the worker and his product, making that very division seem na…
Panglossian Paradox
Ethical systems are embedded in paradigms. The call for an ethical approach to economics must ultimately address the nature and critique of the existing paradigm, rather than focus simply on individual behavior or policy prescriptions. The existing paradigm has its own ethical norms and foundations, even if not widely understood or acknowledged. The norms and paradigm must shift together as part of the same process of critique
Marx and the Mixed Economy
Endogenous Institutions and the Politics of Property
The purpose of this paper is to contrast the work of Douglass North and Karl Polanyi regarding financial institutions associated in market economies. Both implicitly acknowledge the synergy between public and private financial markets, which can serve to solidify an alliance between wealth holders and the state, potentially at the expense of “sociery” at large. This alliance may stimulate growth, according to North, as well as impose the strain o…
Needs Assessment, Street‐level Bureaucracy and the New Community Care
In the wake of the Seebohm reforms of the personal social services, a number of studies were carried out in the 1970s to explore the role of frontline professionals in identifying and meeting social need. A common finding was that social workers behaved like “street‐level bureaucrats”, using their discretionary authority defensively to manage an otherwise overwhelming workload. In the 1990s, top‐down assessment and care management systems were pu…

The Underside of the Savior Complex –-Humanism Begins at Home
Between Money and Love
Community mental health ideology
The prevailing model for mental health services is found to be inappropriate with respect to many of the needs of rural communities. Special problems of rural areas are identified, and suggestions are offered for revision of mental health concepts and practice that might result in a better fit between professional ideology and rural reality
North Central Sociological Association
Recollections of past officers provide the basis for a history of the North Central Sociological Association (NCSA). Foci include the early environment, school participation, and forces behind its growth and current character. Contemporary issues of big school domination and image are examined through data on current numbers, school affiliations, and convention participation. The latter part of the paper, based on a 1976 NCSA membership survey, c…
Schizophrenics in the New Custodial Community
The prevention of hospitalization in schizophrenia
Acutely psychotic schizophrenics were randomly assigned to one of three groups: an experimental group of patients home on drugs and public health nursing care, and two control groups—one receiving placebo and public health nursing home care, the other receiving state hospital care. For a thirty-month period it was demonstrated that over three-quarters of the experimental group could be successfully maintained at home. Five years later, gradual er…
