"'What is Neoliberalism? And What Has it Meant?': A Primer" endeavors to offer the reader a broad understanding of what has in recent years become the controversial idea, "neoliberalism," on the basis of four claims it makes, explains and defends. These are, namely,

1. Neoliberalism is a distinct phenomenon, extending but also distinct from classical liberalism; and while broadly identifiable with certain prescriptions (deregulation, privatization, etc.) ultimately taking the form of the economic model here termed "Neoliberal Financialization" (distinguishable from the preceding Keynesian Fordism).

2. Neoliberalism, while developing over the course of the twentieth century, became an effective political force amid the crisis of the 1970s, primarily as a response to economic developments rather than the "intellectual fashions" emphasized by many of its chroniclers.

3. Neoliberalism's economic results have consistently fallen short of the promises made for them over past decades, whether the issue is industrial renewal, economic development, economic growth, the attainment of sounder government finances or anything else, but that policymakers and elites (who have done well out of the era) have remained committed to the model in spite of its disappointments.

4. Neoliberalism has never enjoyed broad public appeal, and been the object of popular backlashes during the decades in which it has prevailed, up to the present. Recent years have seen stronger challenges, identifiable with such events as "Brexit" and recent presidential elections in the U.S., but especially from the right the challenge has been limited, and overall the neoliberal model remains dominant.
“‘什么是新自由主义?这意味着什么?《入门》试图让读者对近年来备受争议的“新自由主义”概念有一个广泛的理解,基于它所提出、解释和捍卫的四个主张。也就是1。新自由主义是一种独特的现象,它延伸于古典自由主义,但又有别于古典自由主义;虽然可以广泛地识别出某些处方(放松管制,私有化等),但最终采取了这里称为“新自由主义金融化”的经济模式的形式(与之前的凯恩斯主义福特主义不同)。新自由主义在20世纪的发展过程中,在20世纪70年代的危机中成为一股有效的政治力量,主要是作为对经济发展的回应,而不是许多编年史家所强调的“知识潮流”。在过去的几十年里,新自由主义的经济结果一直没有达到对他们的承诺,无论是工业复兴,经济发展,经济增长,实现更健全的政府财政还是其他任何问题,但政策制定者和精英(他们在这个时代做得很好)仍然致力于这种模式,尽管它令人失望。新自由主义从来没有获得过广泛的公众吸引力,在它盛行至今的几十年里,它一直是公众强烈反对的对象。近年来出现了更大的挑战,如“英国脱欧”和最近的美国总统选举,但特别是来自右翼的挑战有限,总体而言,新自由主义模式仍占主导地位。

James Buchanan and the Properly Trained Economist 詹姆斯·布坎南和训练有素的经济学家
Pub Date : 2018-05-24 DOI: 10.2139/ssrn.3189882
Peter J. Boettke, Rosolino A. Candela
Throughout his career, James Buchanan displayed a remarkable consistency regarding the didactic role of the properly trained economist. As he would say, it takes varied iterations to force alien concepts upon reluctant minds. What he regarded as the role of the properly trained economist is just a variation on his understanding of constitutional political economy. According to Buchanan, properly trained economists occupy dual, roles as economic scientists and political economists. As economic scientists they understand how spontaneous orders emerge as a result of self-interested behavior under alternative institutional arrangements. As political economists they may propose changes to existing institutions for the purpose of better facilitating the mutually shared goals among free and responsible individuals. Such proposals are not technical advice to a benevolent dictator, but conjectures about Pareto improvements to be tested through democratic deliberation. These related, but distinct, roles, have a non-normative and didactic basis, which is to teach citizens of a democratic society that there are opportunities for mutual gains from trade.
在他的整个职业生涯中,詹姆斯·布坎南(James Buchanan)在受过良好训练的经济学家的说教作用方面表现出了惊人的一致性。正如他所说的那样,需要不断的重复才能将陌生的概念强加给不情愿的人。他所认为的受过适当训练的经济学家的角色,只是他对宪政经济学理解的一种变体。布坎南认为,受过适当训练的经济学家扮演着经济科学家和政治经济学家的双重角色。作为经济学家,他们了解在其他制度安排下,自利行为是如何产生自发秩序的。作为政治经济学家,他们可能建议对现有制度进行改革,以便更好地促进自由和负责任的个人之间的共同目标。这些建议不是给仁慈的独裁者的技术建议,而是关于帕累托改进的猜想,将通过民主审议进行检验。这些相互关联但不同的角色具有非规范性和说教性的基础,即教导民主社会的公民有机会从贸易中获得共同利益。

On the Advantages of a System of Labour-Managed Firms 论劳动管理企业制度的优势
Pub Date : 2017-02-27 DOI: 10.5947/JEOD.2016.002
B. Jossa
This paper offers an outline of a large body of economic literature which discusses the advantages of a system of employee-managed firms: the disempowerment of capitalists thanks to the suppression of their right to make decisions in cooperative firms; appreciable efficiency gains from worker involvement in production processes; a softer competitive regime and small risks of insolvency; an end to external firm control and, consequently, to the sway of multinational corporations; reduced monopoly building; a socially determined income distribution pattern and economic efficiency gains from a lesser need for state intervention.
本文概述了大量经济学文献,这些文献讨论了员工管理公司制度的优势:由于在合作公司中资本家的决策权受到压制,他们的权力被剥夺;因工人参与生产过程而显著提高效率;更温和的竞争体制和较小的破产风险;结束外部公司的控制,从而结束跨国公司的支配;减少垄断建设;社会决定的收入分配模式和经济效率从较少需要国家干预中获益。

Procedural Democracy and Social Structure 程序民主与社会结构
Pub Date : 2016-12-19 DOI: 10.2139/ssrn.2887728
M. Barbashin
A number of methodological problems in relation to democracy studies are analyzed. The author considers procedural democracy problems from the institutional and rational – choice points of view. Analyzing advantages and disadvantages of such approaches, the author comes to conclusion that the institutional features of the democratic structure have an important character. They include the variants of individual and collective strategies of social development, which involves a range of social options, which are available for social actors, problem of the “free rider”, which the procedural democracy tries to resolve, and “failures of democracy” which are considered as a product of social structure. The author believes that ideological understanding of democracy should be rejected and that we need more institutional studies of democracies.
分析了与民主研究有关的一些方法问题。作者从制度和理性选择的角度来考虑程序民主问题。通过分析这些方法的利弊,作者得出结论:民主结构的制度特征具有重要的特征。它们包括社会发展的个人和集体战略的各种变体,其中涉及社会行动者可以得到的一系列社会选择,程序民主试图解决的“搭便车”问题,以及被认为是社会结构的产物的“民主的失败”。作者认为,应该拒绝对民主的意识形态理解,我们需要更多的民主制度研究。

Democracy in Poverty: A View from Below 贫穷中的民主:从下面看
Pub Date : 2013-05-16 DOI: 10.2139/ssrn.2264877
D. Weeks
The principle of one person — one vote is central to modern notions of democracy. Political equality requires that all citizens are able to make their voices heard in the political process and that elected officials are continually responsive to the needs of their constituents. Nevertheless, socio-economic status is fast becoming a major determinant in the amount of influence a citizen commands in American politics. By examining recent trends in political participation and consulting low-income Americans directly, this paper demonstrates the widening gulf in political voice and power along socio-economic lines when it comes to voting and volunteering in election campaigns; funding candidates for public office; and engaging Washington directly through lobbying and interest groups. Americans with limited incomes and education are found to be less than half as likely to vote in national elections as their more privileged counterparts (often for reasons beyond their own control, including formal disenfranchisement) and far less likely to participate in lobbying and other forms of political expression. When it comes to funding elections, a tiny fraction of wealthy Americans, drawn primarily from business and the law, provides more campaign money than 99.9 percent of the population combined. These and other findings point to an emerging institutional corruption, wherein political leaders are largely dependent on a small and unrepresentative economic elite rather than the public at large. Left unchecked, such dependence corruption threatens to deepen systemic poverty and inequality in the United States.
一人一票的原则是现代民主观念的核心。政治平等要求所有公民都能在政治进程中发出自己的声音,并要求当选官员不断对选民的需要作出反应。然而,社会经济地位正迅速成为一个公民在美国政治中拥有多大影响力的主要决定因素。通过研究政治参与的最新趋势并直接咨询低收入美国人,本文表明,当涉及到投票和竞选活动志愿服务时,政治声音和权力在社会经济方面的差距正在扩大;资助公职候选人;并通过游说和利益集团直接与华盛顿接触。研究发现,收入和受教育程度有限的美国人在全国选举中投票的可能性不到特权阶层的一半(通常是出于他们自己无法控制的原因,包括正式被剥夺选举权),而且参与游说和其他形式的政治表达的可能性要小得多。在竞选资金方面,一小部分主要来自商界和法律界的美国富人,提供的竞选资金比99.9%的人口加起来还要多。这些和其他调查结果指向了一种正在出现的制度性腐败,即政治领导人在很大程度上依赖于少数不具代表性的经济精英,而不是广大公众。如果不加以控制,这种依赖腐败可能会加深美国的系统性贫困和不平等。

The Democratic Crisis of Capitalism: Reflections on Political and Economic Modernity in Europe 资本主义的民主危机:对欧洲政治和经济现代性的反思
Pub Date : 2011-12-06 DOI: 10.2139/ssrn.1969031

Are 'modern societies' necessarily democratic societies and capitalist (or: market) societies? This is what most of the social sciences of the post-Second World War period have assumed, while only some strands of critical, often Marx-inspired approaches contested this connection. This essay briefly reconsiders the link between democracy and capitalism both in theoretical and historical terms to then advance a hypothesis about the current constellation of political and economic modernity which seems to be marked by a paradox. On the one hand, both democracy, apparently spreading through 'waves of democratization', and capitalism, as the outcome of economic globalization, seem to be without alternative. On the other hand, current capitalism is highly crisis-ridden and democracy, at least in Europe, witnesses strong signs of disaffection. In this light, the essay proposes to see the current constellation as the outcome of a democratic crisis of capitalism during the 1970s. The reasoning proceeds in five steps. First, we will reconsider theories that have assumed that there is a strong conceptual connection between democracy and capitalism. Secondly, we will briefly review the history of the relation between modern capitalism and modern democracy from their beginnings until the 1970s to refine the ideas about such conceptual link. These two steps, thirdly, will allow for an interim conclusion to understand the double crisis of the 1970s, of both capitalism and democracy, an understanding that opens the path to two observations – the fourth and fifth steps – on the current condition of global capitalism and the alleged global movement of democratisation. First, the developments of the past four decades can be seen as a transformation of capitalism in reaction to democratic demands. Extrapolating from this insight, second, one may ask whether there is not a basic tension between economic and political modernity, given the evident difficulty of keeping political citizenship connected to socio-economic citizenship.
“现代社会”一定是民主社会和资本主义(或:市场)社会吗?这是二战后大多数社会科学的假设,而只有一些批评性的、通常受马克思启发的方法对这种联系提出质疑。本文简要地从理论和历史的角度重新考虑了民主和资本主义之间的联系,然后提出了一个关于当前政治和经济现代性的假设,这个假设似乎以一个悖论为标志。一方面,显然通过“民主化浪潮”传播的民主和作为经济全球化结果的资本主义似乎都没有选择。另一方面,当前的资本主义危机重重,民主,至少在欧洲,见证了强烈的不满迹象。鉴于此,本文建议将当前的星座视为20世纪70年代资本主义民主危机的结果。推理分为五个步骤。首先,我们将重新考虑那些假设民主和资本主义之间存在强烈概念联系的理论。其次,我们将简要回顾现代资本主义和现代民主之间的关系,从他们开始到20世纪70年代的历史,以完善这种概念联系的想法。第三,这两个步骤将为理解20世纪70年代资本主义和民主的双重危机提供一个临时结论,这种理解为两个观察——第四步和第五步——打开了通往全球资本主义现状和所谓的全球民主化运动的道路。首先,过去四十年的发展可以被看作是资本主义对民主要求的反应。从这一见解推断,第二,人们可能会问,鉴于保持政治公民身份与社会经济公民身份的明显困难,经济和政治现代性之间是否存在基本的紧张关系。

Which Preferences Can Democracy Serve? 民主能服务于哪些偏好?
Pub Date : 2011-10-30 DOI: 10.2139/ssrn.1951451
Alon Harel, Moses Shayo
Democracy is often perceived or justified as a means to realizing voters' preferences. Two major difficulties have received much attention: how to aggregate votes and how to align the interests of representatives with the preferences of voters. This paper identifies a third difficulty which stems from the fact that some voters care not only about the electoral outcome (Outcome preferences) but also about the act of voting itself (Voting preferences). If Voting and Outcome preferences are incongruent, then democracy may not be able to satisfy voters’ preferences even if all voters have identical preferences and if all representatives scrupulously implement the policies voters choose. Indeed, as no voter is likely to be pivotal, rational voters would tend to vote primarily on the basis of their Voting preferences. In this case, the person elected (or the policy executed) may not be the one voters wish to see elected (or executed). Taking Voting preferences seriously sheds new light on classical controversies in political theory, e.g., the delegate/trustee controversy, the democratic deficit, and judicial review.

民主经常被认为是实现选民偏好的一种手段。两个主要的困难受到了很多关注:如何汇总选票,以及如何使代表的利益与选民的偏好保持一致。本文确定了第三个困难,它源于一些选民不仅关心选举结果(结果偏好),而且关心投票行为本身(投票偏好)。如果投票偏好和结果偏好不一致,那么即使所有选民都有相同的偏好,即使所有代表都严格执行选民选择的政策,民主也可能无法满足选民的偏好。事实上,由于没有选民可能是关键的,理性的选民倾向于主要根据他们的投票偏好来投票。在这种情况下,当选的人(或执行的政策)可能不是选民希望看到当选(或执行)的人。对投票偏好的认真研究,为代表/受托人争议、民主赤字、司法审查等政治理论中的经典争议提供了新的视角。我们表明,有时看似不民主的做法可以被理解为促进同时满足结果和投票偏好的手段。

Two major difficulties have received much attention: how to aggregate votes and how to align the interests of representatives with the preferences of voters. This paper identifies a third difficulty which stems from the fact that some voters care not only about the electoral outcome (Outcome preferences) but also about the act of voting itself (Voting preferences). If Voting and Outcome preferences are incongruent, then democracy may not be able to satisfy voters’ preferences even if all voters have identical preferences and if all representatives scrupulously implement the policies voters choose. Indeed, as no voter is likely to be pivotal, rational voters would tend to vote primarily on the basis of their Voting preferences. In this case, the person elected (or the policy executed) may not be the one voters wish to see elected (or executed). Taking Voting preferences seriously sheds new light on classical controversies in political theory, e.g., the delegate/trustee controversy, the democratic deficit, and judicial review. We show that, at times, seemingly undemocratic practices could be understood as a means to facilitate the simultaneous satisfaction of both Outcome and Voting preferences.","PeriodicalId":283935,"journal":{"name":"PSN: Democratic Theory (Topic)","volume":"18 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-10-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131166457","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The Aristotelianism of George Frederick Holmes 乔治·弗雷德里克·福尔摩斯的亚里士多德主义

In this paper I would like to establish the priority of Aristotle in the thought of George Frederick Holmes (1820-1897), the South's leading philosopher of the nineteenth century. Accompanying this aim is the possibility of an improved understanding of the historical "Mind of the South" and its particular orientation to the ongoing rise of modern civilization. Holmes copiously presented a firmly articulated "metaphysics" in a myriad of articles over a period stretching from the early 1840's until the end of the 1870's. Holmes spent much of his philosophical energy struggling with such then influential moderns as Comte, Spencer and Darwin. But for all that the basis of his thought remained Aristotelian in nature. If it be allowed that Aristotle can make a "comeback" under today's conditions perhaps George Frederick Holmes is also entitled to be viewed once again as a "live option" given the fundamentally Aristotelian nature of his thought.
在本文中,我想确定亚里士多德在19世纪南方主要哲学家乔治·弗雷德里克·霍姆斯(1820-1897)思想中的优先地位。伴随这一目标的是对历史上的“南方思想”及其对正在兴起的现代文明的特殊定位的更好理解的可能性。从19世纪40年代初到19世纪70年代末,福尔摩斯在无数篇文章中丰富地呈现了一种清晰的“形而上学”。福尔摩斯花了大量的哲学精力与孔德、斯宾塞和达尔文等当时有影响力的现代人作斗争。但尽管如此,他的思想基础在本质上仍然是亚里士多德式的。如果允许亚里士多德在今天的条件下“卷土重来”,也许乔治·弗雷德里克·霍姆斯也有资格再次被视为一个“活的选择”,因为他的思想本质上是亚里士多德的。
