La diversité des capitalismes


Entretien France Culture, Entendez-vous l’eco?, par Maylis Besserie, 26 Septembre 2017.

 

Deuxième jour de notre série consacrée à “l’esprit du capitalisme”.

Hier, nous nous sommes glissés dans la peau du sociologue Max Weber, auteur de l’ouvrage éponyme sur les origines de l’émergence du capitalisme et ses liens avec l’éthique protestante. Aujourd’hui, nous continuons à parler de capitalisme, mais en utilisant volontairement le mot au pluriel – pour pointer la diversité des systèmes économiques et politiques qu’il recouvre.

Nous allons parler de la théorie de la régulation et de son analyse en compagnie de l’une de ses grandes figures: Robert Boyer.

             

From the variety of socioeconomic regimes to contemporary international relations


In Policy Change Under New Democratic Capitalism Edited by Hideko Magara, Chapitre 10,Routledge,  ,  2017, p. 202-222.

About the Book

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.

A world of contrasted but interdependent inequality regimes: China, United-States and European Union


Review of Political economy, Vol. 27, n° 4, October 2015, p. 481-517.

 

Abstract:

A number of contemporary paradoxes warrant explanation. First, in China, economic development has reduced poverty but dramatically increased inequalities. Second, the finance-led growth regime of North America has brought about a rupture with the Fordist Golden Age, causing a surge of inequality because of quite specific spill-over effects from the economy to policy. Third, the Eurozone crisis is often perceived as reflecting the limits of welfare states and the ideal of social equality, but some countries continue to exhibit an extended welfare system, moderate inequalities and a dynamic innovation and production system. To explain these paradoxes, this article applies a socio-economic approach based upon the concept of inequality regimes. Conventional interpretations stress the universality of the mechanisms that widen individual inequalities within each nation-state but reduce the hierarchy of national standards of living. This analysis, however, concludes that China, North America and Europe do not follow the same trajectory at all, since they have developed contrasting regimes of inequality that co-evolve and are largely complementary at the global level. This suggests an alternative to the hypothesis of an irreversible globalization of inequality.
