Résumé : |
The role of the state in the economy has always been a controversial issue in public debate, but it has become more so in the last quarter of a century with the rise of neoliberal thinking that preaches the virtues of unregulated markets and recommends de-regulation, opening-up, and privatisation. This push for a minimal, pro-business state, especially in developing countries, has been further intensified with both the rise of globalisation and the many radical neoliberal “reforms” implemented, often under pressure from multilateral agencies (such as the IMF, the World Bank, and the WTO).
In this book, the author highlights the failure of neoliberalism, especially in developing countries, or what he terms “the intellectual bankruptcy of neoliberalism”, which, he believes, “stems ultimately from its failure to base its discourse on a balanced and sophisticated theory of the inter-relationship between the market, the state, and other institutions”. He also tries to construct a credible alternative theoretical framework to neoliberalism, informed by a balanced understanding of empirical evidence. The issues covered concern a rather wide range of domestic and international policy issues - including trade policy, privatisation, transnational corporations, and ntellectual property rights - with some important common theoretical threads running through them, which he calls “the institutionalist polical economy approach”. It is the author’s hope that this book will help “those who are trying to construct, either at the theoretical level or at the practical level, some credible alternatives to neoliberalism – even if their alternatives are significantly different from mine”. |
