This pioneering Handbook offers a state-of-the-art exploration of
the social structure of accumulation theory, a leading theory of
stages of capitalism, expertly summarising its development to date.
It breaks new ground in several areas, including econometric
evidence for the theory and developing institutional analyses of
technology and the environment. Expert international contributors
offer an in-depth treatment of the theory of social structures of
accumulation, extending this analysis to areas of the world where
the application of the theory has previously been underexplored
such as Western and Eastern Europe, Latin America, and India. It
offers a detailed discussion of global neoliberalism, and many of
the important individual institutions constituting social
structures of accumulation, including in the areas of criminal
justice, urban policy, technology, and corporate management.
Thought-provoking and insightful, the new ground covered in this
Handbook will be a key resource for heterodox economists who are
interested in social structures of accumulation, long waves, and
stages of capitalism. The comprehensive background analysis on
current issues will also be of interest to sociologists,political
scientists, and historians.
This volume analyses contemporary capitalism and its crises based
on a theory of capitalist evolution known as the social structure
of accumulation (SSA) theory. It applies this theory to explain the
severe financial and economic crisis that broke out in 2008 and the
kind of changes required to resolve it. The editors and
contributors make available new work within this school of thought
on such issues as the rise and persistence of the neoliberal, or
free-market, form of capitalism since 1980 and the growing
globalization and financialization of the world economy. The
collection includes analyses of the U.S. economy as well as that of
several parts of the developing world.
The social structure of accumulation (SSA) approach seeks to
explain the long-term fortunes of capitalist economies in terms of
the effect of political and economic institutions on growth rates.
This book offers an ideal introduction to this powerful tool for
understanding capitalist growth, analysing the social and economic
differences between countries and the reasons for the successes and
failures of institutional reform. The contributors cover a wide
range of topics, including the theoretical basis of the SSA
approach, the postwar financial system, Marxian and Keynesian
theories of economic crisis, labour-management relations, race and
gender issues, and the history of institutional innovation.
Combining newly written essays with classic articles of the SSA
school, the book examines the international economy and the
economies of Japan, South Africa, and Puerto Rico, as well as the
United States.
