Socialist alternatives to capitalism I: Marx to Hayek

Duncan Foley | 2017

 

Abstract: This paper surveys the development of the concept of socialism from the French Revolution to the socialist calculation debate. Karl Marx’s politics of revolutionary socialism led by an empowered proletariat nurtured by capital accumulation envisions socialism as a “top-down” system resting on political institutions, despite Marx’s keen appreciation of the long-period analysis of the organization of social production in the classical political economists. Collectivist thinking in the work of Enrico Barone and Wilfredo Pareto paved the way for the discussion of socialism purely in terms of the allocation of resources. The Soviet experiment abandoned the mixed economy model of the New Economic Policy for a political-bureaucratic administration of production only loosely connected to theoretical concepts of socialism. The socialist calculation debate reductively recast the problem of socialism as a problem of allocation of resources, leading to general equilibrium theory. Friedrich Hayek responded to the socialist calculation debate by shifting the ground of discussion from class relations to information revelation.

The Econ in Econophysics
Modern authors have identified a variety of striking economic patterns, most importantly those involving the distribution of incomes and profit rates. In recent times, the econophysics literature has demonstrated that bottom incomes follow an exponential distribution, top incomes follow a Pareto, profit rates display a tent-shaped distribution. This paper is concerned with the theory underlying various explanations of these phenomena. Traditional econophysics relies on energy-conserving “particle collision” models in which simulation is often used to derive a stationary distribution. Those in the Jaynesian tradition rely on entropy maximization, subject to certain constraints, to infer the final distribution. This paper argues that economic phenomena should be derived as results of explicit economic processes. For instance, the entry and exit process motivated by supply decisions of firms underlies the drift-diffusion form of wage, interest and profit rates arbitrage. These processes give rise to stationary distributions that turn out to be also entropy maximizing. In arbitrage approach, entropy maximization is a result. In the Jaynesian approaches, entropy maximization is the means.

How America’s Economy Runs on Racism
Hamilton argues that economics lacks the political economy context in order to understand racism, and demonstrates how racism is embedded in the political economy of America.

Coronavirus e Ingreso Básico Universal para Chile – CIPER Chile
¿Qué harán las miles de trabajadoras por cuenta propia, quienes boletean, y en general, todos quienes no pueden depender de contar con licencia pagada al ausentarse de su lugar de trabajo?”, Para lidiar con la emergencia, los autores proponen aplicar una idea que se ha estudiado para la pérdida de empleos por la automatización: dar a todas las personas un Ingreso Básico Universal (IBU).

Anders Wirtschaften: Sozial - ökologisch - demokratisch. Solidarische Ökonomie und andere alternative Ansätze
Was ist Solidarische Ökonomie und welches Verständnis von Wirtschaft wird dabei unterstellt? Elisabeth Voß erläutert das Konzept der Solidarischen Ökonomie als ein Konzept des sozial-ökologischen Wirtschaftens und präsentiert weitere, sich teilweise überschneidende Ansätze wie social economy, Commons, Genossenschaften, Gemeinwohlökonomie sowie feministische Ansätzen. Da diese Konzepte eng mit der Praxis verwoben sind, stellt Voß in der zweiten Hälfte des Vortrages viele Beispiele aus den Feldern Arbeitsorganisation, Ernährung, Daseinsvorsorge, Technologie und Wohnen vor.
