    Rising Corporate Concentration, Declining Trade Union Power, and the Growing Income Gap: American Prosperity in Historical Perspective Jordan Brennan February 2016 Rising Corporate Concentration, Declining Trade Union Power, and the Growing Income Gap: American Prosperity in Historical Perspective Jordan Brennan* March 2016 *Jordan Brennan is an economist with Unifor, Canada’s largest private sector labor union, and a research associate of the Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives. E-mail: [email protected]. Website: www.jordanbrennan.org. Contents Executive Summary 2 Acknowledgments 4 List of Figures 5 Part I: Corporate Concentration, Secular Stagnation, and the Growing Income Gap 6 Part II: Labor Unions, Inflation, and the Making of an Inclusive Prosperity 24 Appendix 48 References 51 1 Executive Summary The rise of income inequality amidst the deceleration of GDP growth must rank as two of the most perplexing and challenging problems in contemporary American capitalism. Comparing 1935–80 with 1980–2013—that is, the Keynesian-inspired welfare regime and, later, neoliberal globalization—the average annual rate of GDP growth was more than halved and income inequality went from a postwar low in 1976 to a postwar high in 2012. How do we account for this double-sided phenomenon? The conventional explanations of secular stagnation and elevated inequality are inadequate, largely because mainstream (“neoclassical”) economics rejects the notion that the amassment and exercise of institutional power play a role in the normal functioning of markets and business. This analytical inadequacy has left important causal elements outside the purview of researchers, policymakers, and the public at large. This two-part analysis investigates some of the causes and consequences of income inequality and secular stagnation in the United States.

  • The Buy-To-Build Indicator New Estimates and Comment
    The Buy-to-Build Indicator New Estimates and Comment Joseph Francis, Shimshon Bichler and Jonathan Nitzan1 London, Jerusalem and Montreal March-April 2013 Creative Commons The first part of the exchange is a short article by Joseph Francis. The article provides new estimates and an assessment of the buy-to-build indicator for the United States and Britain. The second part offers commentary by Shimshon Bichler and Jonathan Nitzan. 1 Joseph Francis is a PhD candidate at the London School of Economics ([email protected]; http://www.joefrancis.info/). Shimshon Bichler teaches political economy at colleges and universities in Israel ([email protected]; http://bnarchives.net). Jonathan Nitzan teaches political economy at York University in Toronto ([email protected]; http://bnarchives.net). The Buy-to-Build Indicator: New Estimates for Britain and the United States Joseph Francis* London School of Economics www.joefrancis.info March 2013 This note presents new long-term estimates of what Jonathan Nitzan and Shimshon Bichler (2002: 53-4, 82-3; 2009: Ch.15) have named the ‘buy-to-build indicator’, which is calculated as the value of mergers and acquisitions as a percentage of gross capital form- ation. Estimating the buy-to-build indicators is not simple, principally due to the absence of consistent series for expenditure on mergers and acquisitions. Nevertheless, as this note describes, it has proven possible to calculate them for both Britain and the United States. For Britain, the new estimates build principally on the research of the Leslie Hannah, as well as official government statistics, while for the United States, they repres- ent significant revisions of Nitzan and Bichler’s own original estimates.

  • A Casp Model of the Stock Market Shimshon Bichler and Jonathan Nitzan1
    A CasP Model of the Stock Market Shimshon Bichler and Jonathan Nitzan1 Jerusalem and Montreal, November 2016 bnarchives.net / Creative Commons Abstract Most explanations of stock market booms and busts are based on contrasting the underlying ‘fundamental’ logic of the economy with the exogenous, non-economic factors that presumably distort it. Our paper offers a radically different model, examining the stock market not from the mechanical viewpoint of a distorted economy, but from the dialectical perspective of capital- ized power. The model demonstrates that (1) the valuation of equities represents capitalized power; (2) capitalized power is dialectically intertwined with systemic fear; and (3) systemic fear and capitalized power are mediated through strategic sabotage. This triangular model, we posit, can offer a basis for examining the asymptotes, or limits, of capitalized power and the ways in which these asymptotes relate to the historical and ongoing transformation of the cap- italist mode of power. 1. Introduction The purpose of this paper is to outline a capital-as-power, or CasP, model of the stock market. There are two reasons why such a model is needed: first, the stock market has become the main compass of the capitalist mode of power; and, second, so far, we have not developed a CasP theory to describe it.2 Surprising as it may sound, all long-term modeling of the stock market derives from a single meta-dogma that we have previously dubbed the ‘mismatch thesis’ (Bichler and Nitzan 2009, 2015a). The basic premise of this dogma is the general bifurcation between economics and politics (a shorthand for all non-economic realms of society) and the further division, within economics, between the so-called ‘real’ and ‘nominal’ spheres.

  • Casp's 'Differential Accumulation Versus Veblen's '
    WORKING PAPERS ON CAPITAL AS POWER No. 2018/08 CasP’s ‘Differential Accumulation versus Veblen’s ‘Differential Advantage’ Shimshon Bichler and Jonathan Nitzan November 2018 http://www.capitalaspower.com/?p=2557 CasP’s ‘Differential Accumulation’ versus Veblen’s ‘Differential Advantage’ Shimshon Bichler and Jonathan Nitzan1 Jerusalem and Montreal November 2018 bnarchives.net / Creative Commons (CC BY-NC-ND 4.0) 1. Introduction This paper clarifies a common misrepresentation of our theory of capital as power, or CasP. Many observers tend to box CasP as an ‘institutionalist’ theory, tracing its central process of ‘differential ac- cumulation’ to Thorstein Veblen’s notion of ‘differential advantage’ (Cf. 1904, 1923). This view, we argue, betrays a misunderstanding of CasP, Veblen or both. As we show below, CasP’s notion of dif- ferential accumulation is not only different from, but also diametrically opposed to Veblen’s differential advantage. Our argument is articulated in several steps. Section 2 outlines the key claims of CasP, contrasting them with those of received theory and articulating the way in which they relate and lead to our concept of differential accumulation. Sections 3 and 4 examine Veblen’s twin concepts of strategic sabotage and differential advantage, showing that the latter is concerned not with differential profit, but with the earning of profit as such. Section 5 develops this claim further, demonstrating that Veblen’s analysis of accumulation, hostage to neoclassical absolutes, understood capitalists as seeking not differential profit, but maximum profit. Section 6 examines the historical context in which Veblen was writing, suggesting that this backdrop made it practically impossible for him to conceive – let alone theorize and measure – differential accumulation, even if he had wanted to.

  • Belpop Vinylsingels
    Themalijst Belpop vinylsingels 4 Vooraf De bib van Kortrijk startte in 1968 met een vinylcollectie. Toen de cd de elpee verdrong bleven de elpees nog een tijdje in Open Kast staan tot ze naar het magazijn verdwenen en nog maar sporadisch uitgeleend werden. Ondertussen deden de meeste ‘discotheken’ hun vinylcollectie weg, ofwel via verkoop, ofwel naar een conservatorium in de buurt, ofwel naar het containerpark. Alleen de plaatselijke producten werden gewoonlijk wel bewaard. In 2003 digitaliseerde Radio2 Kortrijk hun gehele audiotheek en kregen we de kans om hun bestaande vinylcollectie over te nemen. Zo kregen we er in één klap ca. 15.000 vinylelpees bij en ca.20.000 vinylsingles Nu hebben we een collectie van ongeveer 27.000 elpees en 27.000 singles. Onze dubbels hebben we zorgvuldig met elkaar vergeleken en de slechtste exemplaren werden verkocht. Wat doen we nu met ons vinyl? We besloten een gedeelte van onze collectie terug voor het publiek open te stellen in de vorm van digitale kopies. Er zijn een aantal wettelijke restricties die we moeten in acht nemen Het proces mag niet beschouwd worden als het digitaliseren om gemakkelijker te kunnen uitlenen. Wettelijk beschouwen we het cd-schijfje niet als een muziek kopie maar als Erfgoedkopie Om de wetten op het auteursrecht en de rechten van de platenmaatschappijen te beschermen mogen we alleen maar vinyl digitaliseren onder de volgende Voorwaarden 1. De lp mag nooit op cd verschenen zijn. 2. De gekopieerde lp blijft eigendom van de bibliotheek. 3. De gekopieerde cd wordt uitgeleend onder de normale voorwaarden, wordt niet verkocht en blijft dus bezit van de bib.

  • The London School of Economics and Political Science the Dominant Party System: Clientelism, Pluralism and Limited Contestabilit
    The London School of Economics and Political Science The Dominant Party System: Clientelism, Pluralism and Limited Contestability Aris Trantidis A thesis submitted to the European Institute of the London School of Economics for the degree of Master of Philosophy, London, April 2012 1 Declaration I certify that the thesis I have presented for examination for the MPhil degree of the London School of Economics and Political Science is solely my own work other than where I have clearly indicated that it is the work of others (in which case the extent of any work carried out jointly by me and any other person is clearly identified in it). The copyright of this thesis rests with the author. Quotation from it is permitted, provided that full acknowledgement is made. This thesis may not be reproduced without my prior written consent. I warrant that this authorisation does not, to the best of my belief, infringe the rights of any third party. I declare that my thesis consists of 45.655 words. 2 Abstract The thesis extends the conceptual boundaries of authoritarianism to include dominant party systems that meet the procedural definition of democracy but exhibit low degrees of government contestability due to the extensive application of clientelism. The first part re-introduces Robert Dahl’s notion of ‘inclusive hegemony’ which encapsulates the stance of political pluralism on dominant party systems. The thesis develops two arguments in support of a Dahlian approach to dominant party systems. The normative argument discusses the associations between power, incentives, collective action and party organisation to indicate that, in the absence of physical coercion and intimidation, inclusive hegemony is a paradoxical outcome that can only be sustained by the application of a political strategy producing an effect on political behaviour similar to that of coercion.
