Savage Economics: Wealth, Poverty and the Temporal Walls of Capitalism de David L. Blaney

Savage Economics: Wealth, Poverty and the Temporal Walls of Capitalism: RIPE Series in Global Political Economy

Autor David L. Blaney, Naeem Inayatullah
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 4 dec 2009

Credem că cea mai mare eroare a discursului economic contemporan este tratarea pieței ca pe un mecanism universal, detașat de contextul cultural și istoric. Savage Economics demontează mitul conform căruia sărăcia este doar o etapă de subdezvoltare ce urmează a fi corectată prin creștere economică. Autorii David L. Blaney și Naeem Inayatullah argumentează autoritar că sistemul actual de creare a bogăției se sprijină, în mod necesar, pe marginalizarea sau eradicarea alternativelor culturale, ridicând 'ziduri temporale' care separă Occidentul de restul lumii.

Reținem modul în care volumul este organizat ca o deconstrucție a fundamentelor economiei politice clasice. Structura narativă ne poartă prin 'Necro-economia' lui Steuart și rănile capitalismului identificate de Ferguson, culminând cu o reevaluare a lui Marx și a diferențelor temporale. Dacă Capitalist Political Economy de Heather Whiteside v-a oferit cadrul teoretic al evoluției acestui domeniu, Savage Economics oferă instrumentele critice pentru a vedea cum aceste teorii funcționează ca o justificare morală pentru costurile umane ale capitalismului.

Poziționăm această lucrare ca o continuare naturală a cercetărilor lui Blaney. Dacă în International Relations and the Problem of Difference autorul analiza incapacitatea disciplinei de a gestiona interacțiunile culturale, aici el aplică această lentilă asupra economiei, transformând-o într-o critică a modului în care 'sălbăticia' este definită și utilizată pentru a valida hegemonia occidentală. Este o lectură densă, riguroasă, care transformă economia politică dintr-o știință a eficienței într-una a eticii și a puterii geoculturale.

Despre autor

David L. Blaney este profesor de științe politice la Macalester College și un membru activ în comitetul executiv al ISA. Expertiza sa se concentrează pe intersecția dintre relațiile internaționale, economia politică și teoria socială. Prin lucrări precum Political Economy as Theodicy și colaborările sale de lungă durată cu Naeem Inayatullah, Blaney a devenit o voce de referință în deconstrucția modului în care cunoașterea academică occidentală gestionează diferența culturală și istorică, propunând o regândire radicală a structurilor globale de putere.

Descriere scurtă

This innovative book challenges the most powerful and pervasive ideas concerning political economy, international relations, and ethics in the modern world.
Rereading classical authors including Adam Smith, James Steuart, Adam Ferguson, Hegel, and Marx, it provides a systematic and fundamental cultural critique of political economy and critically describes the nature of the mainstream understanding of economics. Blaney and Inayatullah construct a powerful argument about how political economy and the capitalist market economy should be understood, demonstrating that poverty is a product of capitalism itself. They address the questions:
 
  • Is wealth for some bought at the cost of impoverishing, colonizing, or eradicating others?
 
  • What benefits of wealth might justify these human costs?
 
  • What do we gain and lose by endorsing a system of wealth creation?
 
  • Do even "savage cultures" contain values, critiques, and ways of life that the West still needs?
 
Opening the way for radically different policies addressing poverty and demanding a rethink of the connections between political economy and international relations, this thought-provoking book is vital reading for students and scholars of politics, economics, IPE and international relations.

Recenzii

'This is an exciting and innovative book. Blaney and Inayatullah draw on the rich tradition of classical political economy to construct critical theoretical ways of refusing misleading choices between modern and savage, economy and culture, capitalism and anti-capitalism in the analysis of contemporary international political economy. The book is a profound and thought-provoking contribution to postcolonial, time-travelling thinking in IR/IPE.' - Kim Hutchings, Professor of International Relations, London School of Economics, UK
'In a provocative and brilliantly executed argument, Inayatullah and Blaney mobilize their postcolonial and ethnographic sensibilities in order to radically rethink the core concerns of - and solutions posited by - the classical political economy thinkers. After reading this seminal book no one will be able to doubt the intellectual and ethical urgency of building a cultural political economy approach.' - Robbie Shilliam, Political Science and International Relations Programme, Victoria University of Wellington
'Few people are able as well as Blaney and Inayatullah to connect important, pressing questions about the effects of capitalism – particularly poverty, inequality and violence - with a brilliant and sophisticated investigation of the ideas on which modern capitalism was founded and justified. Savage Economics is a tour de force in exposing the banality of much contemporary economic thought, and in reconnecting us to the ambivalence that its 18th and 19th century forebears had towards the world they saw unfolding and that we still live in.' - Matthew Paterson, University of Ottawa
'For too long the field of political economy has been dominated by technocratic analyses of market equilibria and inchoate rants about the evils of capitalist oppression. Inayatullah and Blaney's book suggests a profound reorientation of the entire discussion away from both minutia and sweeping generalization, and towards the kind of close reading that can generate a potent form of immanent critique. Their incisive discussion of some of the tradition's key texts discloses resources for ethical and political reflection that have been long obscured by the dominant mainstream reading of authors like Smith and Marx; our past is brought into dialogue with our present in a way that cannot help but dislocate the supposedly eternal verities of modern-day economics. This should be required reading for everyone who produces or consumes, especially for those producing and consuming political-economic knowledge.' - Patrick Thaddeus Jackson, Associate Professor, American University; author of Civilizing the Enemy (2006) and The Conduct of Inquiry in International Relations (2010)
