Download or read book L conomie politique n est pas une science morale written by Bruno Amable and published by Liber/Raisons d'agir. This book was released on 2005 with total page 285 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Les sciences sociales et l'économie politique sont menacées par le retour d'un moralisme qui nie le conflit social et discrédite l'opposition aux projets élaborés en vue d'un prétendu " bien commun ". Ce livre soumet à une critique raisonnée l'un des courants qui incarne le mieux ce phénomène : " l'économie des conventions ". Loin de proposer une construction scientifique, ce courant offre une validation éthique aux projets politiques (en premier lieu celui de la " troisième voie ") qui disqualifient l'idéal égalitaire en privilégiant une hypothétique égalité des chances par rapport à celle des résultats. Les économistes Bruno Amable et Stefano Palombarini proposent ensuite une théorie néoréaliste du changement institutionnel qui redonne toute sa place au caractère nécessairement sélectif du choix politique. Et qui permet de reconnaître, derrière la rhétorique du bien commun, la frontière entre intérêts dominants et intérêts dominés.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Je souhaite mettre en relief la nature du discours économique en tâchant de cerner les raisons pour lesquelles nous ne pouvons nous en remettre à lui seul pour gérer les rapports humains au sein de nos communautés. Telle est en effet la thèse que j'entends défendre ici: l'économie est une science dont le pouvoir explicatif permet de comprendre nos sociétés, mais l'économisme qui en est dérivé est une forme de scientisme sur laquelle nos gouvernements et les décideurs dans leur ensemble ne sauraient légitimement s'appuyer pour gouverner. D'où l'importance de défendre, non pas la remoralisation de l'économie, qui maintient le discours économique au centre du discours social, mais un recentrage du discours social autour d'une véritable réflexion éthique. Je soutiens par conséquent que l'économisme ne peut servir de discours politique et moral, non pas pour des raisons de valeur personnelle, de charité chrétienne ou de motifs éthiques plus ou moins clairement avoués, mais bien pour des raisons formelles de cohérence logique. Un tel discours est en soi incohérent et inconsistant, donc formellement et socialement inapproprié sur le plan politique. Et cela, peu importe que nous l'utilisions pour défendre des idéaux politiques de gauche ou de droite." (A. L.)

Download or read book Growth Crisis Democracy written by Hideko Magara and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2017-07-14 with total page 254 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the global financial crisis of 2008, advanced economies have been making various efforts to overcome the economic impasse. While the contrast between the countries that have escaped from the crisis relatively quickly and those still suffering from serious problems is becoming clearer, a new economic crisis stemming from newly emerging economies has again impacted advanced economies. In retrospect, both leftist and rightist governments in advanced economies pursued expansive macroeconomic and welfare policies from the post-WWII period to the oil shocks of the 1970s. While we recognise that the particular policy regime in this ‘Golden Decades’ during which the left and the right implemented similar policies cross-nationally, were characterised by outstanding economic growth in each country, the specific growth patterns varied across countries. Different social coalitions underpinned different growth models. This book is premised on tentative conclusions that Magara and her research collaborators have reached as a result of three years of study related to our previous project on economic crises and policy regimes. Recognising the need to analyse fluid and unstable situations, we have set up a new research design in which we emphasise political variables—whether political leaders and citizens can overcome the various weaknesses inherent in democracy and escape from an economic crisis by establishing an effective social coalition. A new policy regime can be stable only if it is supported by a sufficiently large coalition of social groups whose most important policy demands are satisfied within the new policy regime.

Download or read book Policy Change under New Democratic Capitalism written by Hideko Magara and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-12-19 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Democratic capitalism in developed countries has been facing an unprecedented crisis since 2008. Its political manageability is declining sharply. Both democracy and capitalism now involve crucial risks that are significantly more serious than those observed in earlier periods. The notion of policy regimes has gained new significance in analysing the possibilities for a post-neoliberal alternative. Policy innovations directed towards an economic breakthrough require both political leadership and a new economic theory. The processes of political decision making have become quite distant from the public realm, and a limited number of economic and political elites exert influence on public policy. This book examines, from a policy regime perspective, how developed countries attempt to achieve such a breakthrough at critical junctures triggered by economic crises. It initially assesses the nature of the present crisis and identifies the actors involved. Thereafter, it provides an analytical definition of a crisis, stressing that most crises contain within them the potential to be turned into an opportunity. Finally, it presents a new analytical design in which we can incorporate today’s more globalized and fluid context.
Download or read book The Palgrave Handbook of Methodological Individualism written by Nathalie Bulle and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2024-01-29 with total page 688 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While methodological individualism is a fundamental approach within the social sciences, it is often misunderstood. This highlights the need for a discursive and up-to-date reference work analyzing this approach’s classic arguments and assumptions in the light of contemporary issues in sociology, economics and philosophy. This two-volume handbook presents the first comprehensive overview of methodological individualism. Chapters discuss historical and contemporary debates surrounding this central approach within the social sciences, as well as cutting edge developments related to the individualist tradition with philosophical and scientific implications. Bringing together multiple contributions from the world’s leading experts on this important tradition of theorizing, this collective endeavor provides teachers, researchers and students in sociology, economics, and philosophy with a reliable and critical understanding of the founding principles, key thinkers and intellectual development of MI since the late 19th century.
Download or read book L conomie written by Michel Dévoluy and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page 408 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La 4e de couverture indique : "L'économie n'est pas neutre. Ce livre soutient qu'une théorie est toujours le produit d'une vision particulière du monde ; le sérieux des chercheurs n'y change rien. L'auteur développe ses arguments en mobilisant l'histoire des doctrines économiques, les théories actuellement à l'œuvre et les pratiques contemporaines de l'économie de marché. En revendiquant sa neutralité, la science économique dominante en est arrivée à légitimer les outrances d'un néolibéralisme fauteur de violences sur les individus, l'équilibre social, l'environnement et la démocratie. Mais ce livre ne se contente pas de déconstruire. Il propose des pistes pour libérer l'économie de son attraction quasi exclusive pour les sciences dures et expérimentales. L'objectif, nous dit l'auteur, est d'arriver à ce que l'économie se nourrisse également de sa proximité féconde avec la philosophie morale et politique. Face aux immenses choix qui se dressent devant nous, la société et les citoyens ont besoin d'être éclairés par les analyses et les théories d'économistes qui assument pleinement leurs visions du monde."
Download or read book Economics and Performativity written by Nicolas Brisset and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-07-27 with total page 532 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Economists do more than merely describe an external economic world. They shape it in the image of their theories and models. This idea, following the philosophy of language, puts forward that economic theories are performative, and not only descriptive. This idea has become a powerful critique of the scientificity of economics since it removes the idea of an external world against which our description could be evaluated as truth. If any theory can become true, there are no true theories per se because there is no such thing as a pre-existing economy to describe. Is such a relativist stance a fatality? This is the question at stake in this book. Furthermore, the author asks if any theory is able to ‘perform’ the social reality, or are there actually some limits to performativity? For philosophers, a performative statement is a statement that cannot fail to mean something, but can fail to do what it calls for. The state of the world may or may not be changed; the performative statement may be happy or unhappy. In economic terms, this can be interpreted as: some theories change the world while some do not. This book argues that this possibility of failure, a perspective previously missing from discussions on the subject, should be at the heart of any definition of failure. Taking on the question of why some theories change the world while others do not, this volume will be of interest to those studying advances courses on the philosophy of economics as well as those studying and researching in the areas of the philosophy of sciences and sociology of science and economics.

Download or read book European Economics at a Crossroads written by John Barkley Rosser and published by Edward Elgar Publishing. This book was released on 2010-01-01 with total page 269 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As Europe moves toward an integrated academic system, European economics is changing. This book discusses that change, along with the changes that are happening simultaneously within the economics profession. The authors argue that modern economics can no longer usefully be described as neoclassical , but is much better described as complexity economics. The complexity approach embraces rather than assumes away the complexities of social interaction. The authors also argue that despite all the problems with previous European academic structures, those structures allowed for more diversity than exists in US universities, and thus were often ahead of US universities in exploring new cutting-edge approaches. The authors further argue that by trying to judge themselves by US-centric measures and to copy US universities, the European economics profession is undermining some of the strengths of the older system strengths on which it should be building. While the authors agree that European economics needs to go through major changes in the coming decade, they argue that by building on Europe s strengths, rather than trying to follow a US example, Europe will be more likely to become the global leader in economics in the coming decades rather than a second-rate copy of the US. The book begins with two chapters spelling out the authors view of the changes in economics and European economics. This is followed by 11 interviews with a diverse set of innovative European economists from a range of European countries. In the interviews these European economists reflect on the ongoing changes in economics generally and in European economics specifically. These interviews demonstrate how the economics profession is moving away from traditional neoclassical economics into a dynamic set of new methods and approaches (incorporating work in behavioral economics, experimental economics, evolutionary game theory and ecological approaches, complexity and nonlinear dynamics, methodological analysis, and agent-based modelling) that the authors classify as complexity economics. This fascinating and easy-to-read book will prove a stimulating and thought-provoking read for those with an interest in economics, European education, and the nature of academic disciplines generally.
