LibéralisationTags : Grande Bretagne Entreprises Banques Syndicats Economie politique Politique économique Compétitivité Privatisation Emploi Index. décimale : 04.01 Entreprises - Généralités Résumé : The British feel insecure, their sense of national identity is uncertain and their belief in national decline remains stubbornly intact. The natural connection between economic growth and individual well-being has broken down. Britain's current state of high anxiety is conventionally attributed to job losses and unexpectedly weak house prices. This book argues that there is a deeper malaise which reflects a climate of unrestrained individualism. Having thrown off militant trade unionists of the corporatist 1970s, Anglo-Saxon capitalism has fallen hostage to aggressive managers, hungry for share options and bent on takeovers, for whom dividends take precedence over jobs. This lack of restraint reflects a hole in the heart of the system. The anonymous investment institutions that control #500 billion of the nation's savings are failing to exercise responsible ownership. Privatization, the defining policy of Margaret Thatcher's capitalist counter-revolution, has substituted pension fund bureaucrats for Whitehall bureaucrats. The rising cost of joblessness and a decline in social cohesion are contributing to a fiscal crisis of the state. Unprecedented levels of social security spending fail to prevent homelessness, crime and want. Growing numbers feel excluded from worthwhile participation in this unbalanced society. In an age of insecurity Tony Blair's New Labour has stumbled on a remedy: the stakeholder society. It is an idea with great political resonance, but as yet little substance, at least in Britain. This volume shows that elements of the stakeholder philosophy can be employed to legitimize Anglo-Saxon capitalism, restrain the excesses of the takeover culture and encourage firms to provide more stable employment. But it will not succeed, Plender argues, unless it takes a distinctively British form and remains free from the constraints of a single European currency. John Plender is the author of "That's the Way the Money Goes" and "The Square Mile".

Titre : The politics of european competition regulation : a critical political economy perspective Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Hubert Buch-Hansen, Auteur ; Angela Wigger, Auteur Editeur : Routledge Année de publication : 2011 Collection : Studies in global political economy Importance : 179 p Langues : Anglais (eng) Catégories : Europe
Politique économiqueTags : Europe UE Economie politique Compétitivité Résumé : The Politics of European Competition Regulation provides an original and theoretically informed account of the political power struggles that have shaped the evolution of European competition regulation over the past six decades.
Applying a critical political economy perspective, this book analyses the establishment and development of competition regulation at European Community and national level since the 1950s. It puts forth the central argument that competition regulation came to reflect the broader shift towards a neoliberal order since the 1980s. Buch-Hansen and Wigger argue that this shift, which took place against the background of the gradual transnationalisation of capitalist production and the economic crisis of the late 1970s, was driven by the European Commission in alliance with the emerging transnational capitalist class.
The authors examine the political responses to the current global economic crisis in the fields of state aid, cartel prosecution and merger control and conclude that an alternative type of competition regulation, which forms part of a much broader transformation of the current socioeconomic order, is needed. This book will be of interest to students and scholars of (global) political economy, European integration and competition law.The politics of european competition regulation : a critical political economy perspective [texte imprimé] / Hubert Buch-Hansen, Auteur ; Angela Wigger, Auteur . - UK : Routledge, 2011 . - 179 p. - (Studies in global political economy) .

Titre : The Power of Public Finance for the Future we Want Type de document : document électronique Auteurs : Lavinia Steinfort, Auteur Editeur : Third World Network Année de publication : 1-15 Oct 2018 Collection : Third World Economics num. 674 Importance : 4 p Langues : Anglais (eng) Catégories : Politique économique Tags : Politique financière Finance publique Développement durable Partenariat Public Privé Index. décimale : 02.01 Finances Résumé : It may not be a new idea, but the speed with which the Green New Deal has gained traction in the US is remarkable. Potential presidential candidates are already embracing the call and it’s firmly on the agenda for the new Congress, with 40 Democratic members demanding a firm plan be drawn up. But what is remarkable is not its popular resonance but the growing political acknowledgement that the government has the power to create the necessary trillions of dollars to not only address the climate crisis but also tackle inequality and transform the economy. It is hard to overstate the significance of this. Before the 2008 financial crisis, the mantra was that there is no alternative (TINA) to rising inequality, corporate greed and environmental destruction. After 2008, the story became that there is no more public money to pay for the alternative so we must rely on private finance. The Green New Deal turns that on its head. As its most famous spokesperson, newly elected Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio Cortez says, the framework has the potential to replicate ‘the Great Society, the moon shot, the civil rights movement of our generation’.
