Once in a while the world astonishes itself. Anxious incredulity replaces intellectual
torpor and a puzzled public strains its antennae in every possible direction, desperately
seeking explanations for the causes and nature of what just hit it.
2008
was such a
moment. Not only did the financial system collapse, and send the real economy into
a tailspin, but it also revealed the great gulf separating economics from a very real
capitalism. Modern Political Economics has a single aim: to help readers make sense of
how
2008
came about and what the post-2008 world has in store.
The book is divided into two parts. The first part delves into every major economic
theory, from Aristotle to the present, with a determination to discover clues of what
went wrong in
2008.
The main finding is that all economic theory is inherently flawed.
Any system of ideas whose purpose is to describe capitalism in mathematical or
engineering terms leads to inevitable logical inconsistency; an Inherent Error that
stands between us and a decent grasp of capitalist reality. The only scientific truth
about capitalism is its radical indeterminacy, a condition which makes it impossible
to use science s tools (e.g. calculus and statistics) to second-guess it. The second
part casts an attentive eye on the post-war era; on the breeding ground of the
Crash of
2008.
It distinguishes between two major post-war phases: the Global Plan
(1947-1971)
and the Global Minotaur
(1971-2008).
This dynamic new book delves into every major economic theory and maps out
meticulously the trajectory that global capitalism followed from post-war almost
centrally planned stability, to designed disintegration in the
1970s,
to an intentional
magnification of unsustainable imbalances in the
1980s
and, finally, to the most
spectacular privatisation of money in the
1990s
and beyond. Modern Political
Economics is essential reading for Economics students and anyone seeking a better
understanding of the
2008
economic crash.
