This paper investigates the renewed interest in competitiveness which can be witnessed in the EU once the acute phase of 2008+ crisis abated. This revival is expressed in several initiatives, such as the idea to set up national competitiveness boards, the Euro Plus Pact or the ECB research network CompNet. By reviewing the recent literature and experts’ opinions as well as drawing on the new theoretical approach and the insight from the German reunification, this papers identifies main promises and pitfalls of selected European proposals. In particular, it stresses the need of a more nuanced approach to competitiveness, which goes beyond the narrow perspective centred on the synchronisation of cost developments. The evolution of salaries and productivity must be aligned and certain level of convergence among the European Monetary Union members is necessary. Nevertheless, reducing competitiveness to such an issue seems inadequate, as it ignores the ‘high-road’ and ‘beyond GDP’ competitiveness which is the reality for the mature European economies.
本文研究了在2008+危机的急性阶段消退后,在欧盟可以看到的对竞争力的新兴趣。这种复兴表现在几项举措中,比如建立国家竞争力委员会、《欧元+公约》(Euro Plus Pact)或欧洲央行研究网络CompNet。通过回顾最近的文献和专家的意见,以及借鉴新的理论方法和德国统一的见解,本文确定了选定的欧洲提案的主要承诺和陷阱。它特别强调需要对竞争力采取更细致入微的办法,这种办法应超越以成本同步发展为中心的狭隘观点。薪资和生产率的演变必须保持一致,欧洲货币联盟(European Monetary Union)成员国之间必须达到一定程度的趋同。然而,将竞争力降低到这样一个问题似乎是不够的,因为它忽略了“高速公路”和“超越GDP”的竞争力,这是成熟欧洲经济体的现实。

The paper presents merchandise trade between the North and Africa’s 34 least developed countries (LDCs), and between the South and Africa’s LDCs over the period from 2000 to 2014. The North is represented by the European Union and the United States. The South denotes four emerging economies: Brazil, South Africa, India, and China (BASIC). The analysis is based on the data retrieved from the UN Comtrade Database. The EU is a major trading partner for Africa, and the US was the second important trading partner for the African continent until 2008. However, their role in the trade with all African countries, and specially with Africa’s LDCs, has been declining since the beginning of the global crisis. On the other hand, a significant increase in BASIC–Africa trade has been observed in the recent years. Since 2010, the value of bilateral trade of the BASIC countries with Africa’s LDCs has been surpassing the EU and US’s trade with those African countries. In the years 2009–2014, the BASIC countries dominated the bilateral trade with 16 of Africa’s least developed countries.

‘A rising tide lifts all boats’ – the quote from the speech by J.F. Kennedy in September 1960 has been widely used to describe the idea that when an economy is performing well, all people will benefit from it. The theory assuming that economic growth will finally bring about greater justice and prosperity for all still attracts supporters from different backgrounds. There is little doubt, however, that it doesn’t work that way. Economic data show increasing income and wealth disparities in the majority of countries, leaving no doubt that wealth creation mechanisms do not work equally for all. This paper examines key contemporary wealth drivers in an attempt to evaluate their influence on creating wealth inequalities. The analysis is based on vast literature studies, including the latest discussion on Thomas Piketty’s Capital in the Twenty-First Century. Looking at the issue from a historical perspective, we come to the conclusion that private ownership rights and capital resources play a decisive role as wealth creation factors. Policy changes, such as deregulation, privatization, and financial secrecy, make the distribution of wealth skewed towards the wealthy, contributing to growing wealth inequalities. The aim of this paper is to highlight the fact that the underlying cause of income and wealth inequalities lies in the uneven access to private ownership of different assets. Further, it aims at provoking a discussion on the right remedies to be undertaken to tackle this problem.
“水涨船高”——肯尼迪1960年9月演讲中的这句话被广泛用于描述经济表现良好时所有人都会从中受益的观点。假设经济增长最终将为所有人带来更大的正义和繁荣的理论仍然吸引着来自不同背景的支持者。然而,毫无疑问,事实并非如此。经济数据显示,大多数国家的收入和财富差距正在扩大,这无疑表明,财富创造机制并非对所有人都一视同仁。本文考察了当代主要的财富驱动因素,试图评估它们对创造财富不平等的影响。这一分析基于大量的文献研究,包括对托马斯·皮凯蒂(Thomas Piketty)的《21世纪资本论》(Capital in The Twenty-First Century)的最新讨论。从历史的角度看这个问题,我们得出结论,私有制和资本资源是财富创造的决定性因素。政策变化,如放松管制、私有化和金融保密,使财富分配向富人倾斜,加剧了财富不平等。本文的目的是强调这样一个事实,即收入和财富不平等的根本原因在于不同资产的私人所有权的不平等。此外,它的目的是促使讨论为解决这一问题应采取的正确补救办法。
