  • Five ways to ensure that models serve society

    Open AccessAndrea Saltelli, Gabriele Bammer et al.ARTICLENature2020

  • The concept of the corporation

    John KayARTICLEBusiness History2019Citada por: 1Referências: 13

    This article describes the origins, development, and effect of the markets and hierarchies approach to the theory of the firm. It argues that the approach gives no coherent account of the legitimacy of corporate activity. Additionally, the model bears little relation to the reality of successful corporations. The author describes an alternative tradition for understanding business, owing more to organisation theory, corporate strategy, and busine…

  • Capitalism, Markets and Politics

    Open AccessJohn KayARTICLEThe Political Quarterly2013

    The term ‘capitalism’ is no longer a relevant way in which to describe or to understand a modern economy. Ownership of capital is not the source of economic power that it once was. Business leaders of today do not own the factories and the machines, nor do they need to. Let us consider instead, markets. Not the markets for financial products that we see depicted on rows of flickering screens in Canary Wharf, but real markets. Market economies hav…

  • Obliquity

    John KayARTICLECapitalism and Society2012

    Why is it that the wealthiest people are not the most materialistic; that the most successful businesses are not the most profit-oriented; and that the happiest people do not directly pursue happiness? Using a diverse range of examples, from the Messenger spacecraft to French architecture, this essay explains why complex goals are best achieved when they are pursued indirectly; this is the concept of obliquity

  • The Map Is Not the Territory

    John KayARTICLECritical Review2012Citada por: 2Referências: 3

    Policy makers and economists alike failed to predict the financial crisis of 2008. Their failure is due not only to the difficulties in predicting events in a complex world, but to the self-referential character of modern macroeconomics. Instead of seeking new empirical insights about economic behavior, macroeconomists have become creators of computer games—content to develop models that are internally consistent but have no necessary connection …

  • The Rationale of the Market Economy

    John KayARTICLECapitalism and Society2009Citada por: 2

    The fall of the Berlin Wall in November 1989 was the defining economic event of our lifetime. It marked the end of the most extensive controlled experiment in the history of social sciences – the division of Germany into two economic zones, one centralised and planned, the other a market economy. After forty years, the gap in living standards between the two was so extreme that the experiment was terminated. This outcome is counterintuitive. A st…

  • Public and Private Ownership of British Industry

    John Kay, James Foreman-Peck et al.ARTICLEThe Economic History Review1995

  • Corporate Strategy and Corporate Accountability

    John KayCHAPTERCapital markets and corporate…1994

    This chapter is concerned with the relationship between corporate strategy and corporate accountability, arguing that in Britain, and in Anglo-Saxon countries generally, there are substantial areas of weakness arising from this relationship. It reviews some of the more common fallacies about the nature and sources of competitive advantage, emphasizing that this source is a distinctive capability that is both sustainable and appropriable. The chap…
