Social capital and economic growth in Europe: nonlinear trends and heterogeneous regional effects
2016
After two decades of academic debate on the social capital-growth nexus, discussion still remains open. Most of the literature so far, however, has followed the one-size-its-all approach, neglecting that the great disparities across geographical units might have implications in this relationship. This article analyzes the role of two social capital indicators on the growth of 237 European regions in the period 1995–2007 by implementing a set of both parametric and non- parametric regressions. Whereas the former impose a linear functional form for the parameters, the latter relax this assumption providing a flexible frame in which the functional form is given by the data. The technique also …

East Asia in the Global Economy: Theoretical and Empirical Questions for Marxism
2019
As Marxism and socialism pass through watershed years it is important to reflect on the abiding questions of Marxist theory and empirical analysis. This article takes up this task in the context of East Asia under the impetus of globalisation and neo-liberalism, introducing a collection of five articles collected in the special issue. The article shows that questions Marx posed about the global economy more than a century ago remain prescient and continue to animate cutting-edge research, as shown in the articles in this special issue.
Monopolizing Asia: The politics of a metaphor
1997
Abstract The metaphor of Asia is frequently used nowadays as a concept for regional identity, but it is very problematical because geographic Asia contains such a large piece of humanity in all cultural, political and economic forms. Historically Asia also has negative connotations, and at times other regional concepts have been preferred over it. Pan‐Asianism, Greater East Asia, Asian‐African cooperation, Asian Socialism, Southeast Asia, Western Pacific, Asia Pacific, and East Asia are some of the regionalist permutations of the metaphor of Asia during this century, but thus far no strong institutional structures have emerged to fill the concepts with lasting and effective political power.
¿Sexo contra sexo o clase contra clase? El género y la clase en los debates del feminismo español (1975-1980)
2019
En el movimiento feminista español de mediados de los setenta se produjeron una serie de debates relacionados con dos categorías de análisis: clase y género. Estas dos categorías estuvieron muy presentes en las discusiones de las distintas organizaciones feministas, en tanto en cuanto, formaban parte importante de la identidad de estos sujetos. De este debate de fondo, se derivó, a su vez, una serie de “enfrentamientos” o distintos posicionamientos en torno a: la defensa de la única/doble militancia, mujer/mujeres, socialismo/patriarcado o clase obrera/clase mujer. De la misma manera, aunque no con la misma intensidad, la edad fue otro factor importante en el movimiento feminista que dio lu…
Frames and Contradictions of the Journalistic Profession
2016
In his essay The Soul of Man Under Socialism Oscar Wilde wrote: ‘In old days men had the rack. Now they have the press’. His words reflect the noticeable power the press had acquired in society already by the end of the 19th century. Journalism began to obtain characteristics of a profession, developing from craft towards an occupation demanding certain specific qualities.
Du « socialisme de cœur » zolien, ou comment être considéré en même temps comme « socialiste » et « ennemi du peuple »
2020
When Germinal was published in 1885, the critic classified Zola as a “socialist” writer. The author himself used this adjective many times referring to his work. At the same time, he didn’t know Marxism and was a resolute opponent to revolution, equality and the government by the people. The paper aims to explain some aspects of Zola’s “socialism” taking into account his origins, his youth experiences and the evolution of his works. This might help to understand the particular meaning done to the term by the writer. Suite à la publication de Germinal en 1885, la critique a classé Zola comme un écrivain « socialiste ». Le romancier lui-même a utilisé ce qualificatif plusieurs fois en parlant…
Joseph A. Schumpeter, Capitalism, Socialism, Democracy, New York 1942
2008
Joseph Alois Schumpeter (1883–1950) lehrte an den Universitaten Czernowitz, Graz und Bonn. 1932 folgte nach zwei Gastprofessuren ein Ruf nach Harvard. Daruber hinaus war er zeitweise — allerdings mit weit weniger Erfolg — in der Privatwirtschaft und der Politik tatig. Zu seinen Hauptwerken zahlen neben dem erstmals 1942 auf Englisch erschienenen Spatwerk „Kapitalismus, Sozialismus und Demokratie“ seine Habilitationsschrift „Das Wesen und der Hauptinhalt der theoretischen Nationalokonomie“ (1908), die umfangreiche Arbeit „Konjunkturzyklen: Eine theoretische, historische und statistische Analyse des kapitalistischen Prozesses“ (1939) sowie die postum von seiner Frau herausgegebene „Geschichte…
