Abstract

ABSTRACT

This paper surveys the changing notions ascribed to the term ‘Political Economy’ in Greece from the beginning of the Greek economics till the beginning of the 21st century. It relates them to the evolution of economic thought in Greece and the turbulent course of Greek capitalism. It argues that during the birth period of economic studies in Greece the term ‘Political Economy’ was identified with economic theory in general, covered the Classical Political Economy but with noteworthy influences from the German Historical School. From the end of the 2nd World War and afterwards, the identification of Political Economy with general economic theory was kept but the latter tended to be almost purely neoclassical. After 1974 the term was redefined and took its proper meaning, namely that of the scientific traditions that focus on the social nature of economic relations.

ABSTRACT

The COVID-19 epidemic has triggered a twin (health and economic crisis). The first is caused by the “metabolic rift” (capitalism’s uncontrollable and insatiable commodification of nature) that leads to the modern “emerging epidemics” of zoonoses. The economic crisis was already simmering but lockdowns triggered and aggravated its eruption. Furthermore, it argues that socialism is better equipped to confront health crises due to its superior state economic capacity, better co-ordination mechanisms and focus on the well-being of the labouring classes’ majority of society. Additionally, this commentary explains that this twin crisis will aggravate the current state of intra-imperialist conflicts and will intensify the process of “de-globalisation.” Confronting this situation the Left and the Communist movement should not become subservient to intra-bourgeois conflicts (as anti-neoliberalism argues) but pursue class politics against capitalism and at the same time fight so as the burden of the crisis is paid by capital and not labour.

Ο οικονομικός ρόλος του κράτους στο καπιταλιστικό σύστημα

Σταύρος Μαυρουδέας

ΠΕΡΙΛΗΨΗ

Το κεφάλαιο αυτό διαπραγματεύεται τον οικονομικό ρόλο του κράτους στο καπιταλιστικό σύστημα. Επισημαίνει ότι ο ρόλος του κράτους και ιδιαίτερα η σχέση του με την οικονομία διαφέρει από ένα κοινωνικο-οικονομικό σύστημα σε ένα άλλο. Τονίζει την ιδιαιτερότητα του κράτους σε μία οικονομία της αγοράς. Εξετάζει πως σταδιακά συγκροτήθηκαν οι οικονομικές λειτουργίες του καπιταλιστικού κράτους στην πορεία εγκαθίδρυσης και εξέλιξης του καπιταλιστικού συστήματος. Επιπλέον, αναλύει εκτενώς πως τα βασικά ρεύματα της οικονομικής σκέψης αντιλαμβάνονται και αναλύουν τον οικονομικό ρόλο του κράτους.
