To allow the market mechanism to be the sole director of the fate of human beings…indeed, even of the amount and use of purchasing power, would result in the demolition of society.' [Social] institutions…are disrupted by the very fact that a market economy is foisted upon an entirely differently organized community: labor and land are made into commodities, which...is only a short formula for the liquidation of every and any cultural institution in an organic society. 1
NEW ! - Welfare and Inequality in Marketizing East Asia: Preface and TOC
Welfare and Inequality in Marketizing East Asia, 2018
The world-scale expansion of markets and market relations ranks among the most transformative developments of our times. We can refer to this process by way of a generic if inelegant term – marketization. This book explores how processes of marketization have registered across East Asia’s diverse social landscape and its implications for patterns of welfare and inequality. While there has been great interest in East Asia’s economic rise, treatments of welfare and inequality in the region have been largely relegated to specialist literatures. Proceeding from a synthetic critique of political economy, this book places welfare and inequality at the center of a more encompassing comparative approach to political economy that construes countries as dynamic, globally embedded social orders defined and animated by distinctive social relational and institutional features.

The global economic and financial crisis not only demonstrates the inadequacy and riskiness of unconstrained market liberalism as a political ideology and economic theory. It also marks a turning point in the development of what European social democracy stands for. The »Third Way« as an attempt to re-orient social democracy with its emphasis on the benefits of market liberalisation within the context of globalisation has proved insufficient.

Welfare and Inequality in Marketizing East Asia

Studies in the Political Economy of Public Policy presents cutting edge, innovative research on the origins and impacts of public policy. Going beyond mainstream public policy debates, the series encourages heterodox and heterogeneous studies of sites of contestation, conflict and cooperation that explore policy processes and their consequences at the local, national, regional or global levels. Fundamentally pluralist in nature, the series is designed to provide high quality original research of both a theoretical and empirical nature that supports a global network of scholars exploring the implications of policy on society. The series is supported by a diverse international advisory board drawn from Asia, Europe, Australia, and North America, and welcomes manuscript submissions from scholars in the global South and North that pioneer new understandings of public policy.

While the developed world economic transformations in the aftermath of the eighteenthcentury industrial revolution had materialised under capitalism only, attempts to explore other systems, ostensibly for faster and inclusive transformations, began and gained wide acceptance soon after the 1917 Russian Bolshevik revolution. But China's 1978 pioneering convergence back to markets soon becoming a global norm began to reinforce faith back to capitalism, broadly defined, as the sole deliverer of economic transformations over time and space? How rewarding has this convergence really been? Since attempts to explore and even discard nonmarket led economic systems were mostly centred in the world's most populous and impoverished Asia, the region, notably its 'resurgent economies' offer an ideal field to explore the question and thereby identify the best performing third world economic system. Capitalism, broadly defined, emerges as the sole deliverer of rapid growth as well as poverty alleviation here as well.
