Book excerpt: The world is at the crossroads of social change, in the vortex of forces that are bringing about a different world, a post-neoliberal state. This groundbreaking book lays out an analysis of the dynamics and contradictions of capitalism in the twenty-first century. These dynamics of forces are traced out in developments across the world - in the Arab Spring of North Africa and the Middle East, in Cuba and elsewhere in Latin America, in the United States, and in Asia. The forces released by a system in crisis can be mobilized in different ways and directions. The focus of the book is on the strategic responses to the systemic crisis. As the authors tell it, these dynamics concern three worldviews and strategic responses. The Davos Consensus focuses on the virtues of the free market and deregulated capitalism as it represents the interests of the global ruling class. The post-Washington Consensus concerns the need to give capital a human face and establish a more inclusive form of development and global governance. In addition to these two visions of the future and projects, the authors identify an emerging radical consensus on the need to move beyond capitalism as well as neoliberalism.

Download or read book Beyond Capitalism written by Jeff Shantz and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2013-04-25 with total page 471 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Capitalism as a global system barely allows the needs of the majority of the world's population to be met. Whether from an industrialized country such as the US or from South Africa, the need for an alternative can be felt all over the world. It is clear nowadays that, due to the non-democratic nature and inadequacies of capitalism, another system must take its place. Such a process has already begun through the cooperative movement, which this book examines along with other initiatives. Featuring essays by international scholars and activists from various spheres of the anti-capitalist left, the work features many examples from the north and the south, to cover both the historically-advanced and late capitalist economies. It discusses such initiatives as participatory economics, the Mondragon experience, worker cooperatives in Europe and Latin America, solidarity economy in South Africa, and more. Written in an accessible manner, Beyond Capitalism will be an invaluable resource for any student of social movements and political thought and for anyone looking for alternative to today's ongoing systemic crises.

Download or read book Polarizing Development written by Lucia Pradella and published by Pluto Press. This book was released on 2014-11-21 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The global economic crisis has exposed the limits of neoliberalism and intensified social polarization. Amid increasing social resistance and opposition, however, neoliberalism prevails globally. Within political economic debates, however, radical alternatives are rarely debated or are reduced to new Keynesian and new developmental agendas, which fail to address existing class divisions and imperialist relations of domination. This unique collection of essays polarizes the debate between radical and reformist alternatives by exploring head-on the antagonistic structure of capitalist development in Latin America, Southern Asia, Europe, the US and the Middle East. The contributors ground the question of alternatives in an international, non-Eurocentric and avowedly Marxian analysis of the capitalist system and its crises. The collection's approach is also distinctive in arguing that social and labour movements are core determinants of development outcomes and progressive change. This new generation of scholars has written accessible yet theoretically informed and empirically rich chapters elaborating radically different worldwide strategies for moving beyond neoliberalism, and beyond capitalism. The intent is to provoke critical reflection and positive action towards substantive change.

This book was released on 2016-12-09 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book analyzes the discourse generated by pundits, politicians, and artists to examine how poverty and the income gap is framed through specific modes of representation. Set against the dichotomy of the structural narrative of poverty and the opportunity narrative, Lemke's modified concept of precarity reveals new insights into the American situation as well as into the textuality of contemporary demands for equity. Her acute study of a vast range of artistic and journalistic texts brings attention to a mode of representation that is itself precarious, both in the modern and etymological sense, denoting both insecurity and entreaty. With the keen eye of a cultural studies scholar her innovative book makes a necessary contribution to academic and popular critiques of the social effects of neoliberal capitalism.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We are delighted to introduce the proceeding of the 1st Hasanuddin International Conference on Social and Political Sciences (HICOSPOS 2019). The phenomenon of climate change is avoidable since its effects are significantly on both environment and human beings live - such as human health, agriculture, food security, water supply, energy, ecosystem and. Here human beings play role as the actors as well as the victim. In addition, we also face society 5.0 in which integrated system of digital technology brings humans to achieve a high quality of life ideally, however, this state requires hard and sustainable efforts from all parties such as community of social and political sciences. Since every steps of society achievements also bring its consequences in terms of culture, and socio-political changes both positive and negative effects. Complexity phenomena of climate change in one side, and society 5.0 in other side, it turns should be responded by providing collaborative works among scholars and decision makers. International conference, therefore, becoming a scientific way to experts especially social and political sciences to share and contribute to solve the problems that arise from climate change and society 5.0. We hope that the proceeding will contribute to dynamic science discourse for responding social and climate changes challenges.

Book excerpt: This book explores the potential creation of a broader collaborative economy through commons-based peer production (P2P) and the emergent role of information and communication technologies (ICTs). The book seeks to critically engage in the political discussion of commons-based peer production, which can be classified into three basic arguments: the liberal, the reformist and the anti-capitalist. This book categorises the liberal argument as being in favour of the coexistence of the commons with the market and the state. Reformists, on the other hand, advocate for the gradual adjustment of the state and of capitalism to the commons, while anti-capitalists situate the commons against capitalism and the state. By discussing these three viewpoints, the book contributes to contemporary debates concerning the future of commons-based peer production. Further, the author argues that for the commons to become a fully operational mode of peer production, it needs to reach critical mass arguing that the liberal argument underestimates the reformist insight that technology has the potential to decentralise production, thereby forcing capitalism to transition to post-capitalism. Surveying the three main strands of commons-based peer production, this book makes the case for a post-capitalist commons-orientated transition that moves beyond neoliberalism.

Book excerpt: For the first time since the collapse of socialism, a real alternative to capitalism is here. Other than the plethora of modifications to capitalism, “optimalism” is potentially the political, social, and economic system of the future. As a new field, it advocates overhauls on everything from world order to trade and finance, which it identified as being at the root of capitalism’s flaws that continued to cause inequity, resource mismanagement, ecological destruction, and conflicts with its profit maximization mantra. One of the most important lessons that accident civilizations have left behind is the importance of being prepared for the unknown future and cataclysm events. Despite the fact that the future is unknown, one thing is for sure: "winter" will come, whether in the form of war, a climate disaster, a pandemic, or any other form of cataclysm event that will overwhelm our civilization and threaten to sweep us off the planet. Ancient life forms and civilizations of great proportions have either vanished completely or have been reset to zero due to their unpreparedness, neglect, or lack of information. The Sumerians are ideal examples, having left us behind compelling evidence of a lost civilization some 4000 years ago. Although the decline of the Sumerian civilization was a complex process that involved various factors, environmental changes, resource depletion, political instability, and wars are believed to be the main causes of its demise. One significant factor might have been the gradual dryness of the region due to changes in the climate and overutilization of the land, which might have led to droughts, crop failures, and food shortages. This, in turn, contributed to social and economic problems, including conflict over resources, inequality, and poverty. The story in the first book of the Bible about the hunger that Joseph helped foresee and prepare Egypt for in the years ahead is a stereotype story of what has happened in human history and, more importantly, a reminder of what will happen to us sooner or later. The question is: is humanity prepared for a cataclysmic event of global proportion that could come at any time? Are we prepared in the best possible ways? The simple answer is: no, we haven’t done as much as we could and should. One of the reasons for this is the fact that the world is divided and could not consolidate its efforts as much or as urgently as it should. The problem is basically a collective problem and needs a similar approach. What makes the situation even worse, though, is the greater likelihood of the occurrence of human-triggered disasters than it would otherwise be. Despite the magnitude of intellect and level of progress available to humanity, man looks dazed compared to ants, who prepare effectively for their winter. Paradoxically, the same system of capitalism that brought us to where we are is turning into the main cause of our own destruction. The worst part of it, though, is that we are sozzled in it and seem incapable of escaping the doom that our long-standing friend is leading us to. This groundbreaking book of its kind opens up a whole new field of inquiry that questions some of the conventional wisdoms known to us in an effort to consolidate the efforts that are being made by individuals, governments, academia, and businesses and promote a comprehensive planetary perspective to civilization in a quest for the common good for humanity and nature. Take a look at the critical present and possible future right now and join the conversation.

Download or read book Political Economy written by Barry Clark and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2016-03-21 with total page 393 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This nontechnical book provides a comprehensive and interdisciplinary survey of political economy that can easily be understood by any reader with an introductory-level background in economics. As 21st-century political debate becomes polarized across ideological lines, students and citizens need to understand the underlying values on which contending arguments are based. The current political gridlock calls for a deeper appreciation of the competing perspectives in political economy. Now revamped for a third edition, Political Economy: A Comparative Approach supplies a truly interdisciplinary examination of the development and evolution of political economy from the Enlightenment onward, drawing material from the realms of political theory, sociology, philosophy, and history as well as from economics to present detailed comparisons of competing perspectives on a variety of current issues. The book begins with an introduction to political economy that provides readers with an overview of the historical development of the discipline, followed by in-depth analyses of four ideological perspectives in political economy—Classical Liberalism, Radicalism, Conservatism, and Modern Liberalism. The author then applies each of the four ideological perspectives to a range of contemporary issues, such as the role of government, economic instability, poverty, labor relations, discrimination, education, culture, the environment, and international trade. Readers will gain insight into the methods and practice of political economics as well as better understand the history of political/economic thought and the effects of historical processes—European industrialization, for example—on modern debates.

Download or read book Economic Transitions to Neoliberalism in Middle-Income Countries written by Alfredo Saad-Filho and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2009-12-04 with total page 268 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Neoliberalism is based on the systematic use of state power to impose, under the veil of ‘non-intervention’, a hegemonic project of recomposition of capitalist rule in most areas of social life. The tensions and displacements embedded within global neoliberalism are nowhere more evident than in the middle-income countries. At the domestic level, the neoliberal transitions have transformed significantly the material basis of social reproduction in these countries. These transformations include, but they are not limited to, shifts in economic and social policy. They also encompass the structure of property, the modality of insertion of the country into the international economy, and the domestic forms of exploitation and social domination. The political counterpart of these processes is the limitation of the domestic political sphere through the insulation of ‘markets’ and investors from social accountability and the imposition of a stronger imperative of labour control, allegedly in order to secure international competitiveness. These economic and political shifts have reduced the scope for universal welfare provision and led to regressive distributive shifts and higher unemployment and job insecurity in most countries. They have also created an income-concentrating dynamics of accumulation that has proven immune to Keynesian and reformist interventions. This book examines these challenges and dilemmas analytically, and empirically in different national contexts. This edited collection offers a theoretical critique of neoliberalism and a review of the contrasting experiences of eight middle-income countries (Brazil, China, India, Mexico, South Africa, South Korea, Turkey and Venezuela). The studies included are interdisciplinary, ranging across economics, sociology, anthropology, international relations, political science and related social sciences. The book focuses on a materialist understanding of the workings of neoliberalism as a modality of social and economic reproduction, and its everyday practices of dispossession and exploitation. It will therefore be of particular interest to scholars in industrial policy, neoliberalism and development strategy.
