Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Economists and others concerned with the theory of wages or with the functioning of Soviet economy will find this investigation of the inequality of wages in the Soviet Union an illuminating study. Based on data used by Soviet administrators in making their decisions, it establishes for the first time in a scientifically acceptable manner the principles according to which differences in earnings in the U.S.S.R. are determined. It is also the first study to present comparable data on the inequality prevailing under capitalism.

Book Synopsis Wage Distribution Fairness in Post-Socialist Countries by : Zsófia Ignácz
Download or read book Wage Distribution Fairness in Post-Socialist Countries written by Zsófia Ignácz and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-10-30 with total page 285 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fairness of wage distribution – or the perception of such – is a phenomenon crucial for the stability of new democracies. While theories exist about how change of the political system trickles down to the attitudinal level, the systematic analysis of the effect of economic transition on public attitudes has been neglected to a large extent. Wage Distribution Fairness in Post-Socialist Countries proposes a conceptual framework to measure the fairness of wage distribution. Indeed, looking particularly at wage distribution fairness in three post-socialist societies (Hungary, East Germany, Czech Republic) since the transition in 1989, this challenging monograph also aims to understand if, and to what extent, the experience of a socialist regime motivates individuals to consider wage distribution as fair. Contributing to our understanding of the relevance of socialization and other situational factors influencing economic legitimacy, Wage Distribution Fairness in Post-Socialist Countries will appeal to undergraduate and postgraduate students, as well as postdoctoral researchers, interested in fields including: Sociology, Eastern European Studies and Political Economics.
Book Synopsis Wage Controls and Employment in a Socialist Economy by : Mr.Timothy D. Lane
Download or read book Wage Controls and Employment in a Socialist Economy written by Mr.Timothy D. Lane and published by International Monetary Fund. This book was released on 1991-11-01 with total page 26 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Wage controls have been an important element of several of the stabilization programs recently introduced in reforming socialist economies. In some cases, the controls have been placed on each state enterprise’s total wage bill, rather than on the wage rate paid. Such an incomes policy would be expected to have a dampening effect on employment, but this has not generally occurred; on the contrary, declines in employment in state enterprises have typically been much less than the associated declines in output. This paper presents a simple model of a labor-managed enterprise which offers an explanation of the behavior of wages and employment under such an incomes policy.

Book Synopsis Inequality and Evolution by : Charles L. Ladner
Download or read book Inequality and Evolution written by Charles L. Ladner and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2020-12-01 with total page 134 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1976, there were 38 countries, comprising nearly 50% of the world’s population that self-identified as socialist states, yet by 1991, only one remained. In 1976, the annual GDP per capita of the 38 socialist countries (in inflation adjusted dollars) averaged approximately $5 thousand. By 1990 it had grown to about $8 thousand. During that same period, the GDP per capita, in comparable numbers, for the United States grew from $24 thousand to $36 thousand. The socialist countries never grew their per capita income to more than 22% of the United States. Even China, which today has an economy almost as large as the United States, never saw its per capita GDP grow beyond $2 thousand per year during the twenty-eight year period as a socialist state under Mao Zedong. But, after the death of Mao, China converted its economy to the capitalist model with spectacular success, lifting a billion people out of poverty and challenging the United States for worldwide economic supremacy-an outcome that would have been unthinkable under socialism. Why has capitalism proven to be such an extraordinary success and socialism such a miserable failure? Charles Ladner argues that the success or failure of economic systems can be traced to the degree to which such systems are congruent with the primal force of evolutionary natural selection. This is the most fundamental need of every living thing to survive and reproduce. He encapsulate these forces into the term: selfishness. Capitalism, he finds, is grounded in such selfishness or self-interest, and therefore is fully congruent with the biological needs which provide the aspirational motivation that cause capitalism at all times and in every place, to be successful. Socialism, on other hand, requires and cannot function without, authoritarian rule to suppress expressions of self-interest. Its operation at the level of the state, serves to frustrate the biological needs and thereby will always produce poverty and failure. The historical record, he says, categorically demonstrates this. Capitalism, however, has a fatal flaw, and that is its inability to restrain the expression of selfishness, which ultimately leads to such extremes of wealth and income inequality that the system can self-destruct. In the final chapters, Ladner offers possible remedies for the United States, which he believes is already in the very early stages of such self-destruction.
Book Synopsis How Labor Powers the Global Economy by : Emmanuel D. Farjoun
Download or read book How Labor Powers the Global Economy written by Emmanuel D. Farjoun and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2022-04-12 with total page 155 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents a probabilistic approach to studying the fundamental role of labor in capitalist economies and develops a non-deterministic theoretical framework for the foundations of political economy. By applying the framework to real-world data, the authors offer new insights into the dynamics of growth, wages, and accumulation in capitalist development around the globe. The book demonstrates that a probabilistic political economy based on labor inputs enables us to describe central organizing principles in modern capitalism. Starting from a few basic assumptions, it shows that the working time of employees is the main regulating variable for determining strict numerical limits on the rate of economic growth, the range of wages, and the pace of accumulation under the present global economic system. This book will appeal to anyone interested in how the capitalist mode of production works and its inherent limitations; in particular, it will be useful to scholars and students of Marxian economics. “Emmanuel Farjoun and Moshé Machover, follow up their pathbreaking work on the application of statistical physics methods to political economy in this book with David Zachariah, in which they develop methods for making educated and structured estimates of stylized facts applicable to capitalist economies. There’s a lot for economists and anyone interested in the political economy of capitalism to learn from their reasoning on these issues, including their novel and challenging suggestion of bounds on the rates of increase of use-value productivity of labor, and on the range of variation of the wage share.” Duncan K. Foley, Leo Model Professor of Economics, New School for Social Research

Book Synopsis The Rate of Growth and the Rate of Interest in the Socialist Economy by : K. Laski
Download or read book The Rate of Growth and the Rate of Interest in the Socialist Economy written by K. Laski and published by Springer. This book was released on 1972 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I should like to dedicate this book to the memory of my teacher Michat Kalecki. It was my good luck to work and to be on friendly terms with him for many years including the time when his theory of growth of the socialist economy took shape. The experience of those years forms the background of the treatment of the problems discussed and of methods used in this book; this particularly concerns the relation between the theory of growth of the socialist economy and the theory of efficiency of investment, and the comparison of Kaleckls theory with the neoclassical theory of growth. I began to study the relationship between the rate of growth and the rate of interest in Warsaw in the years 1965-1968, following on the research I had done when preparing my previous book, Zarys teorii reprodukcji socjalistycznej (Introduction to the Theory of Socialist Reproduction), Ksiaika i Wiedza, Warsaw 1965. At that time Kaleckrs seminar on the theory of growth, in which I took part, was still in existence at the Central School of Planning and ~atistics in Warsaw. I wish to thank all the parti cipants of the seminar for their contribution and the valuable stimulation I have received from them.

Book Synopsis Economics of Transition by : Hüsnü Kizilylli
Download or read book Economics of Transition written by Hüsnü Kizilylli and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-05-23 with total page 575 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1998, this volume responded to the recent fall of the Soviet Union and looks at the process of transitioning away from Socialist economies, including case studies in the former Soviet Union, Poland, Hungary, China, East Germany and other Socialist countries. Taking the view that economic and political indicators suggest a lack of success in the post-Soviet transformation process, Kızılyallı argues that they have been unsuccessful due to poor planning. Kızılyallı notes an abandonment of the previous system and an ineffective implementation of market capitalism which have led to these negative outcomes. The new method developed herein provides a partial solution through estimating the correct exchange rate based on world prices and under conditions of macroeconomic equilibrium, while also allowing planning for sequencing market reforms. Reform issues are then discussed, followed by the reform experiences of Poland, Hungary, East Germany, China and the former Soviet Union. Lastly, developments in macroeconomic theory are reviewed in light of these case studies. Kızılyallı concludes that both neoclassical and new Keynesian theories fail to provide an economically meaningful framework for analysis of current economic and employment problems, nor for their cure.
