Declining Profitability and the Evolution of the US Economy A Classical Perspective

Declining Profitability and the Evolution of the US Economy A Classical Perspective

The 1970s were a pivotal decade for the US economy: deindustrialization broke the power of the labor unions and made possible the redistribution of income in favor of corporate profits; globalization and offshore investments opened alternatives to domestic nonfinancial capital accumulation; domestic productivity growth declined; and labor-saving technology empowered superstar corporations to rapidly gain market share. This book argues that the persistent fall in profitability leading to the stagflation crisis was a direct result of the transition from the Fordist phase of capital accumulation based on large-scale manufacturing to the neoliberal phase and the rising power of finance. Neoliberalism restored the power of rentiers but not the profit rates of nonfinancial corporations. Falling accumulation rates weakened the growth capacity of nonfinancial corporate firms and secular stagnation became the norm. Neo-Keynesian economists Larry Summers and Paul Krugman explained the persistence of secular stagnation with arguments borrowed from Alvin Hansen in the 1930s such as the declining birth rate or the falling relative prices of investment goods hence a shortfall of demand. In the Classical paradigm profitability drives capital accumulation and falling profitability slows down growth. As the accumulation rate declined and the capacity growth diminished breakdowns in supply links due to the COVID-19 pandemic prevented large infusions of purchasing power to find matching levels of supply hence the stagflation crisis returned. The book will be a great asset to researchers and scholars interested in the development of Classical Political Economy concerning issues related to inflation stagnation growing inequality and the next phase of neoliberalism. | Declining Profitability and the Evolution of the US Economy A Classical Perspective

The Economics of Population Key Classic Writings

The Economics of Population Key Classic Writings

The economics of population has a long and controversial history as well as an exciting present. Vociferous popular debate public policy and population economics have unduly influenced one another: public debate and policy affect the erection of economists' conclusions just as the results of economists' studies influence debate and popular thought. The words and theories of John Maynard Keynes Thomas R. Malthus John Stuart Mill and Friedrich Engels come to mind immediately. However many writings on population economics had little or no influence on public thought at the time they were written although they may be seen as correct in light of modern developments. In fact many of the ideas contained in these writings were publicly debated but then ignored for a long time reappearing much later or reinvented independently. The Economics of Population edited by Julian L. Simon traces the history of population economics. This is a century-spanning collection of essays from foremost influential economic theorists arranged to illustrate thought development and its numerous reversals. The first section includes essays from Joseph J. Spengler John Graunt William Petty Thomas R. Malthus William Godwin and David Ricardo. Theorists such as Alexander Everett William Peterson Simon Gray Henry C. Carey John Stuart Mill Friedrich Engels Henry George and Charles Fourier are the subject of the volume's second section. Finally Simon covers the effect of population density and cities on productivity and the effect of density on agricultural practices and natural resources. Essays from this section include John Maynard Keynes' Is Britain Overpopulated? and The Economic Consequences of Peace as well as selections from Lionel Robbins George Simmel and Alvin H. Hansen. Simon's long-term focus reflects the evolution of population movements. He does not restrict himself to writings that have been important in the historical chain of intellectual influence. Rather he guides us to key works which shed light on the intellectual history of population economics. Simon includes some essays that while greatly influential can also be seen as fundamentally wrong in light of later work. As such The Economics of Population will be of great value to political economists sociologists of knowledge and historians of ideas. | The Economics of Population Key Classic Writings
