Item type:Publication, The quality of society(Springer International Publishing, 2021-09-16)This book articulates a unified theory of capitalism as an attempt to provide a comprehensive scientific theory of this social system. A unified theory of capitalism is not the combination of the predominant economic theories-neoclassical, classical, and Keynesian-so as to make them compatible. It is not a composite economic theory. It is a new economic theory. Predictions of the theory's models were consistent with eight basic empirical regularities of capitalism dealing with economic growth, income inequality, employment level, and environment degradation. Therefore, the unified theory can be accepted as a good approximation of the real capitalist world. But the models were constructed at a high level of abstraction. Also problematic was the need to work out more fully the public policy implications of the theory. It is, therefore, no wonder that essays on the unified theory to answer these questions are a natural outcome of a new scientific endeavor attempting to reach a unity of knowledge in economics. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Introduction to unified theory of capitalism(Springer International Publishing, 2021-09-16)This essay is an introduction to unified theory of capitalism. It is intended to make the essays of the book more accessible. In the first part, the chapter presents the epistemological principles of economics and then the primary assumptions of the unified theory, its empirical predictions, and the consistency of predictions with facts. Thus it is shown that indeed the unified theory is a good representation of the real-world capitalism. The second part of the chapter compares, based on epistemological criteria, the traits of the unified theory with those of the prevailing economic theories, namely, neoclassical, Keynesian, and Marxian. On epistemological grounds, the unified theory appears to be superior as it can explain facts that the other theories also can, but explains additional facts that the others cannot. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Inequality, power relations, and democracy(Springer International Publishing, 2021-09-16)In the post-World War II period, capitalism has been characterized by rapid economic growth, but accompanied by social maladies as side effects. This has been the growth age of capitalism, as growth rates of output per capita have been higher than ever. The basic social maladies include income inequality, social disorder, and environment degradation. Today's social maladies are also higher than ever. This outcome is certainly a paradox in a democratic society. The unified theory of capitalism supplies an explanation: The outcome reflects the power relations under which democratic capitalism operates. Given this striking finding, this essay summarizes the foundations of the unified theory and the epistemological justification of its findings, and then elaborates further on the explanation. The ultimate factor explaining the outcome of growth with social maladies in the capitalist system, taken by parts and taken as a whole, is the initial inequality. Societies that are very unequal by birth can hardly attain social progress. The initial inequality is truly a curse. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
