Capitalism, Morality &, Markets (Readings, 54)

y.
Publisher:
Description: In 2000 the Institute began a series of lecture, endowed by Michael Novak and the John Templeton Foundation, entitled the Templeton Forum on Markets and Morality. The four papers given in the first series, and revised by the authors, are included in thisvolume. Brian Griffiths considers the business corporation as a moral community, concluding that `an independent moral standard is not only something which is good in itself but is also in the interests of shareholders and employees`. Robert A. Sirico argues that the accomplishments of business directly help to advance social prosperity, health and human welfare. The market is a necessary ally for a `social order which respects human dignity`. Norman Barry contends that the market system is `morally self-sufficientand develops its own codes of conduct`. Ethical conduct requires companies simply to follow rules and conventions which make for long-run success. Frank Field discusses the provision of a minimum income in [detailed...]

William Roberts Clark
Capitalism, Not Globalism : Capital Mobility, Central Bank Independence, and the Political Control of the Economy (Michigan Studies in International Political Economy)

y.
Publisher:
Description: Capitalism, Not Globalism shows that, while much has been made of recent changes in the international economy, the mechanisms by which politicians control the economy have not changed throughout the postwar period. Challenging both traditional and revisionist globalization theorists, William Roberts Clark argues that increased financial integration has led to neither a widening nor a narrowing of partisan differences in macroeconomic polices or outcomes. Rather, he shows that the absence of partisandifferences in macroeconomic policy is a long-standing feature of democratic capitalist societies that can be traced to politicians` attempts to use the economy to help them survive in office. Changes in the structural landscape such as increased capital mobility and central bank independence do not necessarily diminish the ability of politicians to control the economy, but they do shape the strategies they use to do so. In a world of highly mobile capital, politicians [detailed...]

Capitalism, Protestantism, and Catholicism

y.
Publisher:
Description: This classic work is an exhaustive philosophical, historical, and religious look at the relationship between Catholic and Protestant religious doctrine and both the historical and ideological growth of capitalism. Starting with a definition of capitalism, Fanfani examines how that definition squares with Catholic and Protestant teaching. He then looks at the historical development of the capitalistic mindset or mentality, and examines the growth of the mindset historically in light of both the Protestantand Catholic doctrine on economic life. This text will be of interest to all students of economic thought, philosophy, and Catholic or Christian studies. [detailed...]

Capitalism, Socialism, and Radical Political Economy: Essays in Honor of Howard J. Sherman (New Directions in Modern Economics series)

y.
Publisher:
Description: This volume of new, original essays reflects the lifelong concerns and writings of the person they honor, Professor Howard Sherman. Sherman wrote on a wide range of topics: the causes of recessions, depressions and mass unemployment under capitalism, the difficulties and challenges of establishing viable democratic planning systems under socialism, the down-to-earth realities of economic life in the United States, the Soviet Union and elsewhere, and the theoretical traditions he drew upon to inform these empirical studies, i.e. Keynesianism, institutionalism and, most especially, Marxism. The contributors follow in Sherman`s tradition through their careful analysis of topics such as: the long-term trends in contemporary global capitalism, the relationship between Marxism and institutionalism, debates over the usefulness of class analysis, the political economy of financial liberalization, lessons from the demise of socialism in the Soviet Union and China, and the possibilities [detailed...]

Based on their extensive inside knowledge of the Russian architectural scene, the two authors have assembled a personal choice of striking, unusual or typical buildings in five chapters ranging from International Style in Russia, to Russian Roots, Regional Russia, Post-Soviet Modernism and Russian Nostalgia.

Description: Here, Lachmann offers a new explanation for the origins of nation-states and capitalist markets in early modern Europe. Comparing regions and cities within and across England, France, Italy, Spain, and the Netherlands from the 12th through 18th centuries, he shows how conflict among feudal elites---landlords, clerics, kings, and officeholders---transformed the bases of their control over land and labor, forcing the winners of feudal conflicts to become `capitalists in spite of themselves` as they took defensive actions to protect their privileges from rivals in the aftermath of the Reformation.

Capitalists, Workers, and Fiscal Policy: A Classical Model of Growth and Distribution

2009 y.
Publisher:
Description: Drawing on the work of the classical-Marxian economists and their modern successors, Capitalists, Workers, and Fiscal Policy sets forth a new model of economic growth and distribution, and applies it to two major policy issues: public debt and social security. The book homes in specifically on the problem of fiscal policy, examining the ways that taxation and government spending affect the distribution of wealth and income as well as the rate of economic growth. Thomas Michls model shows that public debt has a regressive effect on wealth distribution. It also demonstrates that the accumulation of wealth by public authorities, for example, in the form of a pension reserve such as the U.S. social security trust fund, can have a progressive effect on wealth distribution, both directly (since it represents ownership by the citizenry) and indirectly through its general equilibrium effects on the structure of accumulation. The books findings provide an analytical foundation for a [detailed...]

Capitalizing on Change: A Social History of American Business (The Luther H. Hodges Jr. and Luther H. Hodges Sr. Series on Business, Society and the State)

Publisher:
Description: Americans love `this year`s model,` relying on the `new` to be always `improved.` Enthusiasm for the new, says Stanley Buder, is essential to American business, where innovation and change stoke the engines of economic energy. To really understand the history of business in America, he argues, we must understand the intertwining dynamics of social and business values. In a history spanning over three hundred years, Buder examines the enveloping expansion of the market economy, the laggardly use of government to modify or control market forces, the rise of consumerism, the shifting role of small business, and much more. He concludes with the explosive development of business in the 1990s and its aftermath of crises and scandal. Along the way, he analyzes the ways American social values foster an entrepreneurial ethos and why the identification of change with progress provides a distinctive and provocative theme in American life. Buder studies American business as not only an engine of [detailed...]

Capitalizing on Conflict: Strategies and Practices for Turning Conflict to Synergy in Organizations

y.
Publisher:
Description: Most organizations try to avoid conflict at all costs. Unfortunately, conflict swept under the rug usually just reappears later, often causing even more trouble. Not all conflict is negative, however. Honest differences of opinion on substantive businessissues can set the stage for a larger, more comprehensive solution than originally imagined. According to mediation experts Kirk Blackard and James Gibson, dealing with counterproductive conflict in an organized, holistic, and systemic manner can lead to stronger and more resilient organizations. The responsibility for creating such a culture rests squarely on the shoulders of management. The authors draw from diverse business, legal, and academic backgrounds, sharing proven strategies and best practices for resolving conflicts--big or small, business-related or personal. Much workplace conflict stems unwittingly from management policies and attitudes. The authors address specific leadership actions necessary to correct these [detailed...]
