In the United States, it’s diffi - cult to pinpoint the cause, yet Donald Trump appears to have become the poster president. David Ricci, in this call to arms, thinks Trump is symptomatic of a myriad of changes that have caused a crisis among Americans – namely, mass economic and creative destruction: automation, outsourcing, deindustrialization, globalization, priva- tization, fi nancialization, digitalization, and the rise of temporary jobs – all breeding resentment, which then breeds populism. Rather than dwelling on symptoms, Ricci focuses on the root of our nation’s problems. Thus, creative destruction, aiming at perpetual economic growth, encouraged by neoliberalism, creates the economic inequality that fuels resentment and leads to increased populism, putting democracy at risk.

I wish to express my first and foremost gratitude to Professor Bernard Yack, the most thoughtful and the kindest dissertation advisor anyone can possibly hope for. This project would not have been possible were it not for his knowledge, insights, guidance, patience and encouragement along the way. I owe him simply too much. My sincere gratitude also goes to Professors Marion Smiley and Jeffrey Lenowitz, my dissertation committee members. Professor Marion Smiley’s justice seminar, which I joined in my first term, helped me to shape much of the basic arguments of this dissertation. Ever since then, she has always been intellectually stimulating and incredibly supportive. Professor Jeffrey Lenowitz generously gave his time, ideas and criticisms. He especially enabled me to look at my dissertation afresh through his detailed comments and suggestions.

HOO VER INS TIT UTION S T A NFORD UNIVERSIT Y 1 The Intellectual Poverty of the New Socialists By Richard A. Epstein hanges in the language of self-identification give us enormous information about changes in political thought. CConsider how the American left labels itself today compared to fifty years ago. Back then, American liberalism stood for the dominance of a mixed economy in which market institu- tions provided growth: deregulation of the airlines in the 1970s, for example, was no sin. At the same time, the liberal vision promoted political institutions that provided a safety net for Americans in the form of social security, unemployment insurance, Medicare, and Medicaid. The term “progressive” came to the fore recently with the rise of Barack Obama, signaling a rising dissatisfaction with the status quo ante because of the liberal mainstream’s Richard A.

  • Karl Polanyi and the Coming U.S. Election William R
    real-world economics review, issue no. 75 subscribe for free Karl Polanyi and the coming U.S. election William R. Neil [USA, unaffiliated] Copyright: William R. Neil, 2016 You may post comments on this paper at https://rwer.wordpress.com/comments-on-rwer-issue-no-75/ It’s hard not to notice, during the American Presidential election drama, that despite all the debates and speeches, and multiple candidates, the terms “Neoliberalism” and “austerity” have yet to be employed, much less explained, these being the two necessary words to describe the dominant economic “regime” of the past 35 years. And this despite the fact that most observers recognize that a “populist revolt” driven by economic unhappiness is underway via the campaigns of Donald Trump and Bernie Sanders. With Trump, of course, we are getting much more, the uglier side of American populism: racism, xenophobia and misogyny, at least; the culture wars at a higher pitch. Yet when Trump commented on the violence which canceled his Chicago rally on the evening of March 11th, he stated that the underlying driver of his supporters’ anger is economic distress, not the ugly cultural prejudices. The diagnoses for the root cause of this anger thus lie at the heart of the proposed solutions. For students of the Great Depression, this will sound very familiar. That is because, despite many diversions and sub-currents, we are really arguing about a renewed New Deal versus an ever more purified laissez-faire, the nineteenth century term for keeping government out of markets – once those markets had been constructed.

    Corey Robin [email protected] 5207 Graduate Center Office Hours: Wednesday, 6:30-8 Political Science 80303 The Political Theory of Capitalism Fall 2015 "In bourgeois society capital is independent and has individuality." —Marx and Engels "Any theory of value necessarily constitutes an implicit definition of the general shape and character of the terrain which it has decided to call 'economic.'" —Maurice Dobb In ancient Greece, the dominant political form was the city-state. In Rome, it was the republic and the empire. After the fall of Rome, it was the Church. In the early modern era, it became the state. Today, it is capitalism. But where Greece, Rome, the Church, and the state all produced their own distinctive political theories, capitalism has not. Indeed, its greatest—and, with the exception of Hayek, perhaps only—political theorist devoted his attentions to capitalism solely in order to bring it to an end. For many, capitalism is not a political form at all; it is strictly a mode of economic organization. What is entailed in that distinction—between the political and the economic—and whether and how it can be sustained will be a central preoccupation of this course. Through an examination of the classics of political economy, as well as some less canonical texts, we will assess whether capitalism has (or can have) a political theory, and if so, what that theory is. We will be especially interested in how political economy as an idiom translates or sublimates the basic vocabulary and perennial concerns of political theory: authority, obligation, and obedience; the nature of value; the tensions between action, institutions, and fortune; dynastic v.
