Heterodox Economics Newsletter

Issue 298 June 20, 2022 web pdf Heterodox Economics Directory

In recent weeks I received several calls from journalists asking whether a wage-price spiral is to be expected as a consequence of recent price hikes and whether we need interest rate hikes to combat increasing inflation. These questions are somewhat awkward as they still follow a more or less neoliberal economic policy script, which indicates that free-market economic policy is alive and well and that we learn much too little and too slow from the failures of capitalism – like financial crises, soaring inequality or ecological destruction. Also, it is difficult to say which of these two questions is more misguided: a price-wage spiral seems rather improbable given that (a) inflation emerges from hard short- to medium-run scarcities in raw materials and foodstuffs as well as misalignments in global value chains, and (b) bargaining power of workers is at a long-time low. Against this backdrop, assuming that labor costs are the decisive variable for understanding inflationary pressure seems somewhat off-the-wall to me as scarce labor is surely not the bottleneck in this equation. Rather, we observe that profits are soaring in tightening sectors – especially energy – which points to the fact that lack of competition contributes to rising prices, which should put the culprit on the side of capital, not labor.

In a similar vein, developed economies are not overheating in the traditional sense – rather they struggle to keep their established modes of provisioning that rely on (cheap) imports of raw materials and intermediate goods up and running under current circumstances. Again, this will not be resolved by pushing up interest rates, which will increase unemployment and maybe come with some dampening effect on the development of real estate prices. But it won't much affect relevant consumer prices in the short run given that the deeper reasons for the current inflationary pressures are to be found in the Corona pandemic and the war in Ukraine (see here for a fuller exposition of this topic). Reflecting on this topic also indicates that Putin is not such a bad economist as some may have hoped. He most probably understands these dependencies of Western provisioning systems on an extractive imperialism quite well as he currently profits from both rising prices for fossil energy as well as the strategic option to reduce exports to Europe as a means for exerting geopolitical power. Many western economists, who were so enthusiastic about our ability to cut off Russia from international financial markets, seemingly did not anticipate that. This probably because they are used to thinking in terms of 'gross-substitutability', i.e. the idea that scarce inputs will be quickly replaced by a cheaper alternative, which effectively amounts to ignoring existing technological constraints. This is nice for modeling purposes, but less apt for understanding actual production processes. Putin's simple assumption – that much production starts with some primary input that is often difficult to substitute – seems more on the point here, especially in the short- or medium-run.

While it is quite unclear how our global economic system will further evolve from this point, it seems evident to me that we are witnessing a turning point in our economic history: although the idea of an ever-increasing global integration of value chains and provisioning systems might not have fallen out of fashion ideologically, its practical implementation will be much more constrained by geopolitical realities and relationships in the near future. And some parts of the world – Europe especially – will have to reinvent themselves as they are forced to fundamentally rethink their strategies for production and provisioning on a large scale. In my view, being forced to reinvent ourselves is not the worst thing to happen.This could help to bring Europe closer together politically and, more importantly, could serve as a compelling reason to push sustainable structures of production and provisioning, e.g. by more forcefully expanding the production of renewable energy or by engaging in a large-scale restructuring of European traffic systems.

In my humble view, reacting to the unprecedent circumstances we currently observe will require a type of economic thinking that is (a) striving for realism, (b) willing and able to account for changing socio-economic contexts, (c) accurately assessing the heterogeneity of different production processes, and (d) concerned about inclusivity, provisioning for basic needs and an appreciation for the heterogenous impact economic crises have on different individuals and social groups. If I am roughly right on this, we currently observe a historical opportunity for heterodox economics to set some things right. And although our efforts might be too little and come too late, we should, as always, aim to do our best on this!

All the best & keep up the good work!

International Conference: Power and Knowledge from the 18th Century to Today (France, November 2022)

24-25 November, 2022 | Nancy, France

International Conference: Power and Knowledge from the 18th Century to Today

Dating back to the beginnings of Greek democracy and the Platonic conception of the philosopher king, the relations between power and knowledge have recently come back to the fore with the rise of populism or the sanitary crisis. Whether an obstacle to democracy, a means for citizens to control their representatives or a vehicle for regenerating democracy (Mounk, 2018), knowledge now appears, more than ever before, as a constitutive feature of government.

This interdisciplinary conference will seek to explore the implications of such relations since the 18 century and to examine to what extent knowledge may establish, legitimize or discredit the forms and figures of political power.

Alongside the democratic ideal, the specialisation and secularisation of knowledge during the Enlightenment gave rise to conceptions of a social order based on knowledge, be it Robert Owen’s utopian schemes, Comtean positivism or the clerisy called for by S. T. Coleridge. As mass democracy spurred the growth and influence of political parties, debating societies and think tanks appeared with the aim of influencing political decision-makers as well as public opinion, precipitating reforms and asserting the dominance of thought over action (Stone & Denham, 2004; Landry, 2021). In the liberal and democratic project, education has come to represent a valuable means of promoting citizenship for reformers ranging from philanthropists, socialists and liberals, to philosophical traditions such as British idealism or American pragmatism (Tyler, 2006; Dewey, 1916). On a broader scale, cultural critics or intellectuals have invoked their learning or expertise to purportedly counterbalance institutional power or to exert influence in the public sphere.

That knowledge may imply coercion has been the butt of criticism from multiple traditions. Together with the poststructuralist movement inspired by Michel Foucault or cultural studies, critics of modernity such as Eric Voegelin, hostile to what he deemed a gnostic conception of power, or Carl Schmitt, for whom Hegel’s philosophy implied an “educational dictatorship”, have concurred in their questioning of Enlightenment optimism, dismissing knowledge as a necessary condition for progress and holding it to be the locus of a political struggle.

The debate has been central to the theorization of disciplines, understood as fields of knowledge that presuppose the existence of “disciples” and therefore some form of authority (Moran, 2002). If the specialisation of knowledge seems inevitably linked to the world being perceived as increasingly complex, what are the checks on experts’ judgements? Can a government reliant on specialised knowledge be genuinely democratic? Can philosophy, as Nietzsche would have it, challenge the claims of objectivity and disinterestedness voiced by “we, scholars”? Or should principles and values regulating knowledge and information in the public sphere be formulated to overcome the current “epistemic tribalism” underlying the surge in disinformation and conspiracy theories (Rauch, 2021)?

Knowledge also stands at the intersection of political power, economic and social policies and ideologies. New Labour governments, for instance, claimed to base their agenda on the knowledge economy while fostering a brand of governance dubbed by some as technocratic or managerial (Dillow, 2007 ; Parry & Protherough, 2002). On this view, the crisis of democracy has been assumed to originate in an intellectual elite’s promotion of identities, amounting to « the critical demolition of foundationalism » (Lasch, 1995), or in a system giving birth to « a bloated cognitive class » (Goodhart, 2021). More fundamentally, the Hayekian critique of constructivist rationalism set out in « The Use of Knowledge in Society » (Hayek, 2014) and the Keynesian conception of economic policy (Dow & Hillard, 1995) paved the way for an ongoing debate over the possibility of knowledge serving both social justice and liberty in a democratic regime.

With an interdisciplinary approach, the conference will welcome proposals dealing with the relations between knowledge and power from the 18 century to today: papers can address the history of political and/or economic ideas, intellectual, cultural and political history or political science and sociology.

In-person presentations, in English or in French, will be encouraged but arrangements for remote delivery may be made. A selected number of papers may be published.

Papers may discuss, but are not limited to

Submissions

Please send proposals in English or in French (300 words maximum) and a short biography to e-mail by 24th June 2022. You will be notified early July about the committee’s decision.

Review of Political Economy: Special Issue on "Supermultiplier and Endogenous Money"

Special Issue Theme: "Supermultiplier and Endogenous Money"

Special Issue Editor(s): Oscar DeJuán, Ricardo Summa, Maria Cristina Barbieri Góes and Riccardo Pariboni

The Review of Political Economy invites contributions that explore the interrelations between the supermultiplier and the theory of endogenous money. The supermultiplier has recently started to be developed by researchers from other Post-Keynesian strands, besides Sraffians, and is establishing itself as an important component of heterodox Keynesian economics. The supermultiplier proposes that not only actual output but also the trend of productive capacity are determined by effective demand in monetary economies of production.

Both the principle of effective demand and the endogenous money theory are well-established foundations of Post-Keynesian economics, and thus perfectly compatible with each other. Recent advances on endogenous money have focused on effective demand, distribution, macroeconomic policies, open economy, and finance. On the other hand, recent analysis on the supermultiplier for its part has focused on theoretical and empirical determinants of demand-led growth and its relationship with income distribution, macroeconomic policies as well as possible constraints to growth. In this sense, both the supermultiplier and endogenous money would appear to be compatible ideas. However, such a research agenda has not been obvious to many scholars, which is the reason we have decided to publish a special issue on this.

This symposium seeks innovative work to explore the interrelations between the supermultiplier and endogenous money theories. We are seeking contributions from a wide range of theoretical approaches, including but not limited to the various strands of post-Keynesian, neo-Schumpeterian and other heterodox schools of economic thought. Papers may present innovative research using empirical, theoretical, or historical methodologies.

Some of the relevant topics to be explored include:

The issue is planned for April 2024. All papers will undergo a double-blind review process.

Ukrainian Association of International Economics: Conference on “Transition processes in Ukraine after the Russian-Ukrainian war: interdisciplinary evaluations” (hybrid, Nov. 2022)

24-25 November 2022 | Kyiv, Ukraine and online

Conference Theme: “Transition processes in Ukraine after the Russian-Ukrainian war: interdisciplinary evaluations”

Ukrainian Association of International Economics invites to the conference “Transition processes in Ukraine after the Russian-Ukrainian war: interdisciplinary evaluations” to be held in Kyiv at 24-25 of November 2022 (on-line), language of conference is Ukrainian and English.

From the Heterodox community, we seek to grather new approaches to transformation processes in Ukraine.

The Problems for discussions in framework of transition and heterodox methodology:

І. Economy. Renewal of the economy on an advanced social-ecological and information-digital basis. Creation of economic, financial, intellectual, and psychological conditions for the development of the economy within the optimal timeframe, taking into account domestic needs and external demand for domestic products.

II. Policy. The transformation of domestic politics is focused on further consolidation of the integrity and cohesion of the Ukrainian nation, acquiring new mentalities that were demonstrated during the war. Active participation in European and global geo-economic and geo-political processes, proposals for improvement of the system of world governance, which was formed as a result of World War II, the Yalta and Potsdam agreements, and is not in line with current realities.

III. The social sphere. The first task of the social sphere in the post-war period is to develop effective mechanisms by making appropriate changes to the legislation to support families that have suffered human losses, loss of housing and other immovable property. In the process of economic renewal and increase of multifactor productivity, the level of wages in Ukraine must reach the level of the neighboring countries (Poland, Slovakia).

IV. Humanitarian policy: education, science, culture and art, religion.

Education. Transformation of educational space at all levels according to key criteria and indicators is getting closer to the norms, standards and institutional mechanisms of the European Union.
Science. Ukrainian science is faced with the task of comprehending the transition, an objective overview of the events of the Russian-Ukrainian war, its socio-economic, military-political and humanitarian consequences.
Culture. The first post-war priorities are the restoration of cultural centres (theatres, museums, libraries, monuments to national heroes, etc.) destroyed by the occupiers.
Religion. In the sphere of religion, to strengthen the positive tendency of the transition from the Moscow Patriarchate to the Ukrainian Orthodox Church and to continue the evolutionary process of church unification.

Requirements

Abstracts for the online conference have to be provided before 01.11.2022. Maximum 200 words. It has to be approved by the scientific committee 15.11.2022

24th ESHET Summer School in History of Economic Thought (Strasbourg, August-September 2022)

August 29 – September 2, 2022 | Strasbourg, France

We are pleased to announce that the 2022 ESHET Summer School will take place in Strasbourg. It is organised by BETA (University of Strasbourg, CNRS, University of Lorraine) and PHARE (University of Paris 1 - Panthéon-Sorbonne), with the support of the European Society for the History of Economic Thought (ESHET), the University of Strasbourg, the University of Paris 1, the Association Charles Gide pour l’Etude de la Pensée Economique and the Associazione italiana per la storia dell’economia politica (STOREP). The ESHET Summer School is open to PhD students and young scholars (PhD degree obtained after January 2020) in History of Economic Thought, Economic Philosophy or Economic History. Approximately 25 proposals will be selected for presentation, in face-to-face. Previous ESHET Summer Schools have taken place in Paris (2021), Porto (2019), Thessaly (2018) and Como (2017). The full list of past ESHET Summer Schools is available on the ESHET website.

Topic of invited lectures: “Inequality and social justice in economics and beyond”

The topic is in line with those of previous Summer Schools. The aim is to bridge the history of economic analysis with more contemporary theoretical reflections, with a particular emphasis on interdisciplinarity in economics. The two (strongly correlated) issues of social justice and inequality are a major preoccupation in the humanities. Social justice is commonly described as the set of norms that define the distribution of resources among the members of a group, and is often referred to as distributive justice. However, the outcome of such a distribution depends on the notion of social justice we retain, which determines the distribution in itself, but also on what resources the society aims to allocate among its members (equalisandum). These two factors ultimately determine the inequalities which are observed in a society. Yet why is it so difficult to describe what equality is, and to fully subscribe to it? Tocqueville denounces the “ardent, insatiable, eternal, invincible” passion that democratic peoples have for equality, a passion that can ultimately make them prefer equality over liberty. Identifying a phenomenon of “liberticidal equality”, Tocqueville underlines the difficulty of setting up a just society. In short, one of the main questions in social justice (if not the main) is how to reconcile equality and freedom. As Rawls formulates it in Political Liberalism (1993), “How is it possible for there to exist over time a just and stable society of free and equal citizens, who remain profoundly divided by reasonable religious, philosophical, and moral doctrines?” Besides, isn’t the old socialist question about the unequal ownership of the means of production still relevant in our now democratic societies? These are some of the central questions that our modern societies are trying to answer. The aim of this Summer School is to provide young researchers with a theoretical background that could help them think about these issues and appreciate the multiple challenges of economic policy they raise. The topic of social justice is to be studied through different perspectives, historical, normative, and positive. An interdisciplinary perspective will also be considered (philosophy, law, and sociology).

IMPORTANT REMARK. Lectures given by senior scholars will deal with issues related to social justice, but there is no specific topic for the participants of the Summer School. PhD students and young scholars are welcome to send proposals on any topic in the History of Economic Thought, Economic Philosophy or Economic History.

Structure of the Program

CPERN mid-term workshop: "Critical Political Economy for a new Global Political Economy" (Limerick, July 2022)

22–23 July 2022 | University of Limerick, Limerick, Ireland

The Global Political Economy is now described, depending on who describes it, as “over-stimulated”, “scarred”, “squeezed”, “unsustainable”, or “jammed up”. Commentators routinely cite the threat of stagflation. The (post-)pandemic recovery is considered “K-shaped”, with assets inflated, to the benefit of asset holders, whilst livelihoods are (further) degraded. Governments have so far failed to put in place a global Green New Deal. The pandemic has exposed the recklessness of decades of austerity, commercialisation, and under-funding of our health and social care systems. While the populist zeitgeist seems to be waning, its successor on the horizon is yet more tepid neoliberal centrism that seeks only to deter those who hope for egalitarian alternatives. Likewise, within academia, efforts continue to sideline, discourage and, if possible, eliminate critical thinking and our ambitions for social change.

We need a new Global Political Economy, and we need critical political economy to provide the intellectual, methodological, analytical and strategic tools through which to conceptualise, explain and critique the multiple crises we face. The aim of our next CPERN mid-term workshop is therefore: a Critical Political Economy for a new Global Political Economy.

The CPERN mid-term workshop is the mid-term workshop of the Critical Political Economy Research Network (RN06) of the European Sociological Association. More details and the full programm are available online.

Graz Schumpeter: Nancy Cartwright on "Economics, queen of the social sciences?" (Graz, Nov 22)

7-9 November 2022, Festsaal, Meerscheinschlössl, Mozartgasse 3, 8010 Graz.

Perhaps economics is queen. But if she wants to be ‘fruit-bearing’ -- not just ‘light-giving’ -- she will have to muck in with a motley crew of other sources of social knowledge and social understanding. These lectures will focus not on what we can know in economics but on how what we can know in economics can help in effecting changes in the social world. The lectures will address issues of causal modelling and causal inference and investigate what kinds of evidence can support these. They will explore the limits of rigour and defend the need for interdisciplinarity, tackling the vexed question of what to do when rigour runs out, as it so soon does. In the last decade and more, randomised controlled trials (RCTs) have become the gold standard for causal inference throughout evidence-based policy. They have also made big inroads in economics, especially in development economics. They are praised for the rigour with which they control for statistical bias in data used for causal inference.

I will look in detail at RCTs as an illustration of how soon rigour gives out when we need to choose what to do, with examples from development economics and other policy areas. A second place that economics can be led astray by the charms of rigour is in the use of probabilities, which are endemic in the field. In his 1965 book, The Logic of Statistical Inference, the philosopher Ian Hacking urged that probabilities can only be generated by chance setups. In my 1999 book, The Dappled World: A Study of the Boundaries of Science, I argued that not much of the world that we want to use economics to study can be reliably modelled as a chance set up. And the economists John Kay and Mervyn King in their recent book on decision making under radical uncertainty argue that probabilities only apply in small worlds, which I take to be settings that can be modelled by Hacking’s chance setups. Reasoning with probabilities can indeed be rigorous but these authors are this rigour does not reach to much of the large world that we want economics to inform us about. Failing some set of credible rigorous methods for predicting what will happen if we intervene and thereby deciding what to do to effect change, what can we do instead? One option is to produce what I call context-centred single case causal models geared for the setting at hand. In aid of understanding how to provide warrant for such models, I will propose a template for context-centred causal maps. These maps are intended to diagram a variety of different kinds of evidence that all told can support credible models for making predictions about the case at hand. But such a body of evidence can only be vouchsafed by a mix of different methods from different disciplines and different knowledge sources. Hence the need for the motley crew.

So, when it comes to effecting changes in the world, the social sciences are not a pyramid with economics at its apex. Rather they are more like a giant Meccano set with different kinds of pieces to be assembled anew each time for each new setting, where every labourer is equally worthy their hire.

Summer School on Agent-Based Stock-Flow Consistent (AB-SFC) modelling (Ancona, Sept. 2022)

12-16 September 2022 | Ancona, Italy

The Marche Polytechnic University (Ancona) is organizing a summer school on Agent-Based Stock-Flow Consistent (AB-SFC) modelling from the 12th to the 16th of September 2022. The school will use a "hands-on" perspective: each frontal theoretical lecture will be followed by a laboratory in which the students will have the chance to work firsthand on codes supported by the lecturers of the school. The summer school was conceived for PhD students but it is open to young scholars.

The aim of the school is to help the students start developing the bulk of skills required to become autonomous researcher in this field. The importance of interaction is one of the key insights of the agent-based approach, accordingly the organization will also include numerous occasions for the students to interact and collaborate with one another and with the lecturers to discuss their ongoing researches.

The school is free: the students will be provided with coffee breaks, lunches, and a social dinner. Travels and accommodations are at the expenses of the students.

How to Apply

Send a CV, a short motivation letter, and a cover letter by your supervisor to absfc2022@gmail.com.

The school is organized by the Department of Management (DiMA) of the Università Politecnica delle Marche, in collaboration with the Department of Economics (DiSES). For more information please visit the official website.

Application Deadline: 10 July 2022

Digital, Class, Work: Before and During COVID-19

by John Michael Roberts | 2022, Edinburgh University Press

Orthodox Marxist approaches often suggest that exploitation is today embedded across society as a whole. For example, digital corporations exploit us when we use social media, or we are exploited by financial companies when we take on more debt through credit (so-called ‘secondary exploitation’). Digital, Class, Work: Before and During COVID-19 rejects these orthodox approaches in favour of a different Marxist perspective. The book explores class relations in digital work both before and during COVID-19 by carefully distinguishing between different circuits of capital and different class relations of economic exploitation and economic oppression. The book focuses on class relations in distinctive forms of work: ‘productive’ exploited work, e.g. manufacturing; ‘unproductive’ commercial work, e.g. retail; creative work; gig work; and work in the state and public sector.

The book also maps the class relations in these work processes to three types of digital labour: digital labour (or, what is commonly known as platform labour); digitisation of labour (the application of digital technology to everyday work practices); and digitised labour (when automation and smart machines replace ‘real’ workers in an organisation). Situating this analysis within the global realms of neoliberalism and financialisation, and drawing on numerous pieces of data, the book demonstrates how the use of digital technology in many workplaces has broadly promoted the interests of ‘unproductive’ global capital, particularly financial capital, both before and during COVD-19.

A Monetary and Fiscal History of Latin America, 1960–2017

by Timothy J. Kehoe and Juan Pablo Nicolini | 2021, Minnesota University Press

The Monetary and Fiscal History of Latin America Project was launched in 2013 by the University of Chicago’s Lars Peter Hansen in his former capacity as the Director of the Becker Friedman Institute and as part of its fiscal policy initiative. Upon the advice of Thomas Sargent, New York University, and former Distinguished Fellow of the BFI, and Fernando Alvarez, University of Chicago, the Institute provided funding and other support for this vibrant project initiated and led throughout by the University of Minnesota’s Timothy Kehoe and the Minneapolis Federal Reserve Bank’s Juan Pablo Nicolini. In supporting and hosting this project, the Institute envisioned an intensive research program to produce a comprehensive monetary and fiscal history of the ten largest countries of South America plus Mexico since 1960. Under Kehoe’s and Nicolini’s leadership, and with the extensive efforts of a large number of scholars with expertise on the macroeconomic experiences of Latin American countries, this project delivered with great success on its initial ambition. The authors of the chapters are country experts who participated in numerous meetings over six years to discuss and receive feedback on their findings that were framed in ways to facilitate comparisons and open the door to novel insights applicable more broadly. Along with the scholarship represented in this book, these economists worked with BFI to create a dynamic database for the eleven Latin American countries under review, which will inform and inspire scholarship for years to come.

A Revolutionary for Our Time: The Walter Rodney Story

by Leo Zeilig | 2022, Haymarket Books

Walter Rodney was a scholar, working class militant, and revolutionary from Guyana. Strongly influenced by Marxist ideas, he remains central to radical Pan-Africanist thought for large numbers of activists’ today. Rodney lived through the failed – though immensely hopeful – socialist experiments in the 1960s and 1970s, in Tanzania and elsewhere. The book critically considers Rodney's contribution to Marxist theory and history, his relationship to dependency theory and the contemporary significance of his work in the context of movements and politics today. The first full-length study of Rodney’s life, this book is an essential introduction to Rodney's work.

Abolitionist Socialist Feminism: Radicalizing the Next Revolution

Zillah Eisenstein | 2019, MR Press

The world is burning, flooding, and politically exploding, to the point where it’s become abundantly clear that neoliberal feminism—the kind that aims to elect The First Woman President—will never be enough. In her vibrant, politically personal essay, Zillah Eisenstein asks us to consider what it would mean to thread “socialism” to feminism; then, what it would mean to thread “abolitionism” to socialist feminism. Finally, she asks all of us, especially white women, to consider what it would mean to risk everything to abolish white supremacy, to uproot the structural knot of sex, race, gender, and class growing from that imperial whiteness. If we are to create a revolution that is totally liberatory, we need to pool together in a new working class, building a radical movement made of movements.

Eisenstein’s manifesto is built on almost half a century of her antiracist socialist feminist work, in its many iterations. But now, she writes with a new urgency and imaginativeness. Eisenstein asks us not to be limited by reforms, but to radicalize each other on differing fronts. Our task is to build bridges, to connect progressive candidates with environmental activists; striking teachers from West Virginia to Los Angeles with Black Lives Matter and the Black Youth Project 100; gun control advocates with incarcerated people involved in prison strikes; disabled people demonstrating in D.C. with transgender rights people reconfiguring the sexual binary; the #MeToo movement with Standing Rock Water Protectors… The genius force demanding that we abolish white supremacy can also create a new “we” for all of us—a humanity universally accepting of our complexities and differences. We are in uncharted waters, but that is exactly where we need to be.

Boom and Bust: A Global History of Financial Bubbles

by William Quinn and John D. Turner | 2021, Cambridge University Press

Why do stock and housing markets sometimes experience amazing booms followed by massive busts and why is this happening more and more frequently?

In order to answer these questions, William Quinn and John D. Turner take us on a riveting ride through the history of financial bubbles, visiting, among other places, Paris and London in 1720, Latin America in the 1820s, Melbourne in the 1880s, New York in the 1920s, Tokyo in the 1980s, Silicon Valley in the 1990s and Shanghai in the 2000s.

As they do so, they help us understand why bubbles happen, and why some have catastrophic economic, social and political consequences whilst others have actually benefited society. They reveal that bubbles start when investors and speculators react to new technology or political initiatives, showing that our ability to predict future bubbles will ultimately come down to being able to predict these sparks.

Bread and Beauty: The Cultural Politics of José Carlos Mariátegui

by Juan E. De Castro |2020, Series: Historical Materialism Book Series, Vol. 217, Brill

Influenced by anarchism and especially by the anarcho-syndicalist Georges Sorel, the political praxis of Peruvian activist and scholar José Carlos Mariátegui (1894–1930) deviated from the policies mandated by the Comintern. Mariátegui saw that new subjectivities would be required to bring about a revolution that would not recreate bourgeois or fascist structures. A new society, he argued, required a new culture. Thus, Mariátegui not only founded the Peruvian Socialist Party, but also created Amauta, a magazine that brought together the writings of the political and cultural avant-gardes.
In the spirit of this approach, Bread and Beauty not only studies the political signifi cance of cultural habits and products; it also looks at the cultural underpinnings of the political proposals found in Mariátegui’s writings and actions.

Digital, Class, Work: Before and During COVID-19

By John Michael Roberts | 2022, Edinburgh University Press.

Orthodox Marxist approaches often suggest that exploitation is today embedded across society as a whole. For example, digital corporations exploit us when we use social media, or we are exploited by financial companies when we take on more debt through credit (so-called ‘secondary exploitation’).

Digital, Class, Work: Before and During COVID-19 rejects these orthodox approaches in favour of a different Marxist perspective. The book explores class relations in digital work both before and during COVID-19 by carefully distinguishing between different circuits of capital and different class relations of economic exploitation and economic oppression.

The book focuses on a number of class relations in distinctive forms of work: productive’ exploited work, e.g. manufacturing; ‘unproductive’ commercial work, e.g. retail; creative work; gig work; and work in the state and public sector.

The book also maps the class relations in these work processes to three types of digital labour: digital labour (or, what is commonly known as platform labour); digitisation of labour (the application of digital technology to everyday work practices); and digitised labour (when automation and smart machines replace ‘real’ workers in an organisation).

Situating this analysis within the global realms of neoliberalism and financialisation, and drawing on numerous pieces of data, the book demonstrates how the use of digital technology in many workplaces has broadly promoted the interests of ‘unproductive’ global capital, particularly financial capital, both before and during COVD-19.

How to Blow Up a Pipeline: Learning to Fight in a World on Fire

by Andreas Malm | 2021, Verso

Why resisting climate change means combatting the fossil fuel industry. The science on climate change has been clear for a very long time now. Yet despite decades of appeals, mass street protests, petition campaigns, and peaceful demonstrations, we are still facing a booming fossil fuel industry, rising seas, rising emission levels, and a rising temperature. With the stakes so high, why haven’t we moved beyond peaceful protest?

In this lyrical manifesto, noted climate scholar (and saboteur of SUV tires and coal mines) Andreas Malm makes an impassioned call for the climate movement to escalate its tactics in the face of ecological collapse. We need, he argues, to force fossil fuel extraction to stop—with our actions, with our bodies, and by defusing and destroying its tools. We need, in short, to start blowing up some oil pipelines. Offering a counter-history of how mass popular change has occurred, from the democratic revolutions overthrowing dictators to the movement against apartheid and for women’s suffrage, Malm argues that the strategic acceptance of property destruction and violence has been the only route for revolutionary change. In a braided narrative that moves from the forests of Germany and the streets of London to the deserts of Iraq, Malm offers us an incisive discussion of the politics and ethics of pacifism and violence, democracy and social change, strategy and tactics, and a movement compelled by both the heart and the mind. Here is how we fight in a world on fire.

Microeconomía heterodoxa: Modelos sraffianos y marxistas

By Gabriel Montes Rojas | 2022, Eudeba.

This book is intended to serve as a supplement to a microeconomics course based on a marginalist or neoclassical textbook. The central topic is the analysis of value and distribution in the so-called nucleus of an economy, based on the consideration of classical economists. The classic model of production prices is first presented in its Sraffian version –in particular, the effect of technical conditions on the models of simple reproduction and the rate of profit, the concept of surplus, and the distribution between capitalists and workers–. An economy with more than one technique, the concept of capital, the Cambridge Capital Controversy, and Wicksell's real and price effects are discussed below. Then Marxist models are studied and the basic concepts of labor value, surplus value and exploitation are defined –in particular, the Marxian fundamental theorem that shows that there is no profit without exploitation–. Within the Marxist framework, the correct way to make the connection between values ​​and production prices is debated, which was called the problem of the transformation of values ​​into prices. Finally, extensions to models of joint production (pure, fixed capital and differential rent for scarce primary factors), preferences and choice over goods, and dynamic models of inflation due to distributive conflict are considered.

Sir Robert Geffrye and the Business of Slavery

by Steve Cushion | Hackney Stand Up To Racism and Caribbean Labour Solidarity

The debate over the statue of Sir Robert Geffrye (1613–1703) outside the Museum of the Home in Hackney has opened a window onto the slave trade and its role in the creation of modern Britain. As a successful London businessman and politician, Geffrye’s life well illustrates the early development of capitalism in England and the relationship between the City of London and the origins of imperialism, particularly the importance of the whole business of slavery.

The Austrian Revolution

by Otto Bauer, edited by Walter Baier and Eric Canepa | 2021, Haymarket Books

This is the story of the decline and fall of an empire, a region devastated by war, and a world stage fundamentally transformed by the Russian Revolution. Bauer’s magisterial work -- available in English for the first time in full -- charts the evolution of three simultaneous, overlapping revolutionary waves: a national revolution for self-determination, which brought down imperial Austro-Hungary; a bourgeois revolution for parliamentary republics and universal suffrage; and a social revolution for workers’ control, factory councils, and industrial democracy.

The brief but crowning achievement of Red Vienna, alongside Bauer’s unique theorization of an "integral socialism" -- an attempted synthesis of revolutionary communism and social democracy -- is a vital part of the left’s intellectual and historical heritage. Today, as movements once again struggle with questions of reform or revolution, political strategy, and state power, this is a crucial resource. Bauer tells the story of the Austrian Revolution with all the immediacy of a central participant, and all the insight of a brilliant and original theorist.

The Mismeasure of Progress: Economic Growth and Its Critics

by Stephen J. Macekura | 2020, Chicago University Press

Few ideas in the past century have had wider financial, political, and governmental impact than that of economic growth. The common belief that endless economic growth, as measured by Gross Domestic Product, is not only possible but actually essential for the flourishing of civilization remains a powerful policy goal and aspiration for many. In The Mismeasure of Progress, Stephen J. Macekura exposes a historical road not taken, illuminating the stories of the activists, intellectuals, and other leaders who long argued that GDP growth was not all it was cracked up to be.

Beginning with the rise of the growth paradigm in the 1940s and 1950s and continuing through the present day, The Mismeasure of Progress is the first book on the myriad thinkers who argued against growth and the conventional way progress had been measured and defined. For growth critics, questioning the meaning and measurement of growth was a necessary first step to creating a more just, equal, and sustainable world. These critics argued that focusing on growth alone would not resolve social, political, and environmental problems, and they put forth alternate methods for defining and measuring human progress.

​In today’s global political scene—marked by vast inequalities of power and wealth and made even more fraught by a global climate emergency—the ideas presented by these earlier critics of growth resonate more loudly than ever. Economic growth appealed to many political leaders because it allowed them to avoid addressing political trade-offs and class conflict. It sustained the fiction that humans are somehow separate from nonhuman “nature,” ignoring the intimate and dense connections between the two. In order to create a truly just and equitable society, Macekura argues, we need a clear understanding of our collective needs beyond growth and more holistic definitions of progress that transcend economic metrics like GDP.
