    Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais Faculdade de Ciências Econômicas Centro de Desenvolvimento e Planejamento Regional V Ciclo de Seminários em Metodologia e História do Pensamento Econômico HISTORICISMO E SOCIALISMO DE ESTADO NA ALEMANHA Luiz Felipe Bruzzi Curi Pós-Doutorando, Cedeplar/UFMG Doutor em História Econômica (USP) O texto é o capítulo 4 da tese Nationalökonomie nos trópicos: pensamento econômico alemão no Brasil (1889-1945), defendida em fevereiro de 2018 e disponível para consulta na íntegra no repositório da USP. Belo Horizonte 27 de setembro de 2018 Capítulo 4 Historicismo e socialismo de Estado Se não trilhou exclusivamente um Sonderweg, um caminho particular, uma “via prussiana” das ideias econômicas como apressadamente se pode pensar ao generalizar o nacionalismo da jovem escola histórica para um conjunto diverso de pensadores, o pensamento econômico produzido nos Estados germânicos durante o “longo século XIX”, em alguma medida tributário da Nationalökomie, teve traços decisivos de especificidade. Não ficou isolado dos ventos e “fantasmas” – como o que Marx sinalizou no início do Manifesto Comunista de 1848 – que rondavam a Europa nesse período, pois foi influenciado pelo liberalismo britânico e pelo socialismo francês, para citar apenas dois exemplos, mas estruturou-se num ambiente intelectual, político e social peculiar. Um dos principais desafios que se colocam a quem deseja dizer algo sobre as ideias econômicas na Alemanha oitocentista é justamente relacionado com a questão que acabou “contaminando” todas as demais nesse período da história germânica: o que é ser alemão? Seria a mescla de tradições que resultou na Nationalökonomie a expressão de um pensamento especificamente “alemão”? A pergunta é de difícil resposta, mas vale expor algumas intuições nortedoras deste capítulo, que busca situar linhagens de pensamento alemãs, apropriadas no Brasil, no contexto de sua formação e desenvolvimento.

  • Ingo Schmidt Rosa Luxemburg's 'Accumulation of Capital': New
    Ingo Schmidt Rosa Luxemburg’s ‘Accumulation of Capital’: New Perspectives on Capitalist Development and US Hegemony (published in: Socialist Studies / Études socialistes 6(2) Fall 2010: 92‐117 http://socialiststudies.com/index.php/sss/issue/view/16 Key Words: Capital accumulation, non‐capitalist environments, US hegemony, welfare state, developmental state, accumulation by dispossession Abstract The article begins with a critique of a variety of Marxist theories on capitalist development and US hegemony. These theories either see capitalism in stagnation and US hegemony in decline since the 1970s or understand neoliberalism as the American way to permanent hegemony. The former fail to explain accumulation during the era of neoliberalism, the latter can’t explain the current crisis of neoliberal capitalism. As an alternative a Luxemburgian approach is suggested, which proceeds in two steps. One, core concepts of Rosa Luxemburgs’ ‘Accumulation of Capital’ will be introduced and the Marxist debate about her work reviewed. This is necessary because of the absence of any tradition of Luxemburgian political economy. Second, from a Luxemburgian perspective post‐war capitalism developed in two phases, each of which was possible because class‐struggles and international conflicts had opened non‐capitalist environments for capitalist penetration. The first phase gave rise to consumer capitalism and neo‐colonialism; the second was characterized by accumulation by dispossession that rolled back welfare states in the North and developmental states in the South, it also integrated formerly state‐ socialist countries, notably China, into the capitalist world‐system. Mainstream economists and policy advisors have offered two explanations for the Wall Street crash in September 2008 and the concomitant world economic crisis.

The paper adopts an interdisciplinary approach that blends history, political economy, politics, sociology, social philosophy, and ethics. The article demonstrates how old and new strands of fiscal sociology and Veblen’s economic sociology can be employed to develop a comprehensive understanding of history, present conditions and future of neoliberalism as well as its current crisis. The paper concludes that fiscal sociology and Veblen’s sociological and critical institutional economics have the great potential to develop new insights into critical social economics and the fiscal crisis of the state.

  • Socialism and Marginalism in Economics, 1870-1930
    SOCIALISM AND MARGINALISM IN ECONOMICS 1870–1930 Edited by Ian Steedman London and New York SOCIALISM AND MARGINALISM IN ECONOMICS The rise to dominance of marginalist economics coincided with a major increase in the spread of socialist ideas. As many socialist and Marxist thinkers were preoccupied with economic questions this was scarcely a development they could ignore. Socialists either had to defend Marxist economics against marginalist criticism or show that socialism and marginalism were compatible. This volume explores the varied socialist responses in a number of major European countries including Italy, France, Russia and the German- speaking countries. No one response prevailed: some socialists defended Marxist economics and rejected marginalism; others criticized Marxist economics ‘from within’ without adopting marginalism to any significant degree. Yet others sought to effect a theoretical compromise or amalgam, or, again, to advocate an outright acceptance of marginalist economics and its use in arguing for socialism. The first chapter presents the general findings on a ‘cross-country’ basis, while the remaining eight chapters provide detailed case studies. The relations between marginalism and socialism are shown to be highly complex and variable, and this book pays equal attention to the differences and the common themes. It also highlights some of the many, innovative contributions to ‘classical’ political economy, some of which were only to be rediscovered after many decades. Ian Steedman is Research Professor in Economics at Manchester Metropolitan University. He has been much influenced by Italian economists. He has worked in trade theory, capital theory and the history of economic thought (especially Ricardo, Marx, Jevons and Wicksteed).

Origins of the German Welfare State: Social Policy in Germany to 1945 Michael Stolleis 1 Introduction 1.1 The Cultural Conditioning and Changeability of Social Protection This book provides a historical survey of the development of social protection in Germany up to 1945.1 It is based on the realization that the modern, complex “system” of social protection is an “evolved” one and can be best understood by knowing how it came into being. It has layers of historical growth and is a far cry from the kind of rigor one expects of “systems” in the scientific or philosophical sense. But in the professional discourse of social theory and social law it may well be referred to as a “system,” and this can be useful to the historian if he is asked to specify the past phenomena he is searching for and in which he expects to find a bridge to the present.

  • What Does Capitalism Mean?": 1-24
    Kocka, Jiirgen (2014 [2~16]) Capitalism -A Short History. Princeton: Princeton Uruversity Press. Original German edition, 2014, chapter I "What does capItalIsm mean?": 1-24. 1 (ill What Does Capitalism Mean? The Emergence of a Controversial Concept Capitalism is a controversial concept. Many scholars avoid it. To them it seems too polemical, since it emerged as a term of critique and was used that way for decades. The term is defined in different ways, and frequently not de­ fined at all. It encompasses a great deal, and it is hard to delineate. Would it not be better to dispense with the con­ cept and, say, talk about a "market economy"? On the other hand, there is a long line of serious­ minded scholars in the social sciences and cultural studies who have contributed a great deal of substance to the dis­ cussion about capitalism. A quarter century after the end of the Cold War, which was also a war of words in which key concepts were weapons, the term has returned to the scholarly discourse with a vengeance. The international financial and debt crisis that started in 2008 has added fuel to the fire of critical interest in capitalism. We are wit­ nessing a new boom in course offerings about the history of capitalism on American college campuses, and the num­ ber of books and articles with "capitalism" in the title is on the rise. In Europe, too, the concept is now more newswor­ thy than it has been in a long while, even if its renewed 2 CHAPTER 1 topicality is more noticeable among journalists, social sci­ entists, and cultural studies scholars than with economists.! But if the term is going to be used, one should be familiar with its history and define it sharply.
