This choice arguably helps recognise the dynamic and changing > nature of the capitalist system in order to avoid any particular’s period > extrapolation as “the end of history” in the fashion of Francis Fukuyama > (1992). The Perezian framework, as discussed later in more detail, can be > considered as a neo-Schumpeterianist approach influenced by > (neo-)Keynesiasm policies, that understands capitalism as a creative > destruction system. Therefore, the aim is not to make capitalism > crisis-free but to manage crises and soften blows or, in other words, to > make a successful “creative destruction management” (Kalvet and Kattel > 2006). One should be aware of many other theoretical alternatives, such as > the Marxist ones, in understanding and acting within certain social, > technological and economic processes. It would be interesting to mention > that both Marxist and neoSchumpeterianist theoretical approaches consider > capitalism prone to crises which are basic features of its normal > functioning. However, the neo-Marxist critique (see Wolff 2010; Harvey > 2007; 2010) puts emphasis on the inherent unsustainability of capitalism > aiming at a different system – “modern society can do better than > capitalism”, Wolff (2010) writes – whereas neoSchumpeterians, such as > Carlota Perez (2002) or Christopher Freeman (1974; 1996), see crises as a > chance for moving the capitalist economy forward. The take of this paper is > integrative trying to highlight the potential of new modes of social > production which are immanent in capitalism but, in the long term though, > might be transcendent to the dominant system. That is why we chose to > develop our narrative within the Perezian framework applying the > interpretative theory of TEPS." > > -- > P2P Foundation: http://p2pfoundation.net - http://blog.p2pfoundation.net > > <http://lists.ourproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/p2p-foundation>Updates: > http://twitter.com/mbauwens; http://www.facebook.com/mbauwens > > #82 on the (En)Rich list: http://enrichlist.org/the-complete-list/ > -- kostakis.org <http://p2pfoundation.net/Vasilis_Kostakis>
