The Social Costs approach to the globalize capitalist market economy has gained new relevance in recent years. The present situation is one of widespread and increasing deterioration of the social, cultural, democratic, and environmental frameworks of advanced capitalist market societies. This deterioration is indicated by the threats of unemployment, precarious working conditions and increasing income/status inequality, uneven geographical developments, and the exploitation and undermining of the institutional fabric of the society. It is aggravated by the rapid extension - at local,...

After the end of the Cold War, the world has experienced a more mono-polar power structure. In contrast to promises of a peaceful 'one' world, this seems not to have provided more international justice and security, nor reduced international conflict. Defense-related issues, long given minor attention in economics, have surfaced rather as a central mechanism in the current stage of globalization. Increase in military expenditures, the multiplication of wars, new generations of sophisticated weapons, and increased interest for defense stocks at the financial markets, indicate that a new type...

There has never been a better time for the social fabric matrix. As this book is being published, the idea that unregulated market capitalism leads to the best of all possible worlds has been thoroughly discredited. A series of economic and social problems have come to the forefront of national discussion and policy debates. There is now widespread acceptance that human activity, particularly the consu- tion of nonrenewable energy resources, has contributed to global warming. The lack of oversight of the financial industry encouraged reckless practices that endangered the stability of the...

This book deals with the current crises from a somewhat different the usual perspectives. It claims that causes and policy implications of these crises cannot be properly assessed by focusing on allocative efficiency or income growth alone; it requires a more general approach, based on social costs. It does not deal with social costs according to the Pigouvian or the Coasian traditions. It draws on the work of Original Institutional Economics (OIE) such as Thorstein Veblen, Karl William Kapp, and Karl Polanyi, on Post-Keynesians such as Hyman Minsky and, in general, on...

Current analyses of the global capitalist market economy are overdue to be undertaken making use of the powerful analytic frame of Karl William Kapp's open systems economics. 'Social Costs and Public Action in Modern Capitalism' examines this approach from the theoretical, conceptual, empirical, policy and case study levels.

Die Reform des Landerfinanzausgleichs ist seit mehr als 15 Jahren politisches, wissenschaftliches und selbst verfassungsgerichtliches Dauerthema. Das Verfassungsgerichtsurteil vom November 2000 und der Bund-Lander-Kompromiss zum neuen Massstabegesetz des Jahres 2001 haben die Diskussion offenbar jedoch nur vorubergehend und kurzfristig beenden konnen. Die Suche nach grundlegenden und nachhaltigen Losungen muss daher weitergehen. Der vorliegende Band entwickelt und berechnet Alternativen einer nachhaltigen Sicherung leistungsfahiger Lander und Entlastung des LFA unter besonderer...

Eine okonomisch, okologisch und sozial nachhaltige Entwicklung setzt neue und komplexe Formen der Koordination zwischen Akteuren voraus, die weit uber die Informations- und Koordinierungsleistungen von Markten und Preisen hinausgehen. Unternehmen haben auf globale und nationale De-Regulierungen, die Verbreitung von Netztechnologien und systemischen Innovationen sowie auf erhohte Umweltturbulenzen langst mit komplexeren, kollektiveren Formen der Koordination reagiert, v.a. mit regionalisierter Clusterung sowie Kooperation und Netzwerkbildung. Gelungene Vernetzungen...

Die Arbeit enthalt sekundar- und primarstatistische Ansatze zur empirischen Definition und Operationalisierung von regionalen Industrieclustern. Diese geschieht am Beispiel der Cluster um die Dienstleistungsfunktion Logistik, die auch im Verarbeitenden Gewerbe versteckt ist, am Beispiel von Hafenstadt-Regionen. Der sekundarstatistische Ansatz geht von Originalmatrizen des Verschnitts von logistikrelevanten Wirtschaftszweigen und Berufsordnungen aus und nahert sich mithilfe von Expertenbewertungen dem Logistik-Sektor i.e.S. Auf Basis der so generierten Daten zum Logistik-Sektor...
