The political economy of gambling in a neocolonial economy

Conclusion This study has attempted to show the entrenched character of parasitic capitalism in the form of gambling in the Jamaican economy on a scale that massively but painlessly redistributes income from the working class to the petite bourgeoisie. It speaks to a dimension of class exploitation that is often ignored in the focus on large multinational corporations and has parallels in the parasitic forms of capitalism that exploit the black community in the United States. Parasitic capitalism is seen as promoting a form of false class consciousness that seeks outlets to class frustrations in precapitalist illusions of luck and chance that feed the coffers of the grasping petite bourgeoisie with hard-earned working class wage incomes. The data and findings point clearly to the need to either eliminate parasitic capitalist activities such as gambling or alternatively remove it from the control of the petite bourgeoisie and convert the capital accumulated to community and mass-oriented development and social projects.

The political economy of transformation

This article gives an analysis of the political economy of transformationwhich stresses the major achievements of some countries, thefact that the transformation is not yet over, the existenceof both winners and losers, and the limitations of transitionorthodoxy. Attention is paid to the implications of transformationup till now for social philosophy and the Washington Consensus.It is argued that among the surprises of transformation werethe importance of a sound banking system, of a strong, but limited,state, and the fact that transformation is a long and difficultprocess.

The political economy of immigration quotas

It is argued, using a single-sector general equilibrium model, that the economic interests of citizens of a host country in relation to immigration depend on their factor ownership. Using the median voter model, it is argued that whether a country admits further immigration depends on the country's factor ownership distributions, the generosity of its transfer programs, as well as on the prejudices about immigrants that its citizens hold.on leave from Moorhead State University.     

金融危机后的菲律宾经济

菲律宾未能免于亚洲金融危机之害，但其受损程度要比其他东盟国家轻。正因为如此，菲律宾政府的应对之策显得力度不够，其危机后的经济复苏进程要比韩国、泰国、马来西亚慢，复苏的回弹力也较弱。菲律宾经济改革任务还相当艰巨。     

The situation in the Russian economy

This article, written for a Project LINK international conference, looks at the medium-term growth trends of the Russian economy and analyzes the stability potential and crisis points of the prevailing economy reproduction model.The forecasting part examines measures used in three growth scenarios: “economic activism of the state,” “support of business” (both subject to a lasting favourable foreign economic situation), and “adaptive” (for the case of a fall in oil prices). The authors come to the conclusion that in the current situation, a greater growth potential is associated with the scenario of “economic activism of the state,” which envisions, in particular, investment in projects lessening infrastructural constraints on growth.     

The political economy of China's future

The Chinese economy and political system have evolved, perhaps even matured, to a point whereby researchers within and without academia deem it appropriate to shift their attention from the immediate past, and of course the present, to the long‐term future. Institutional changes, particularly WTO accession, and the challenges posed by modern technology are reinforcing this trend. The more policy sensitive of the two most ambitious exercises in crystal ball gazing, it is argued here, has yielded fascinating insights but, inevitably so given the nature of the undertaking, the questions to which it gives rise match both quantitatively and qualitatively the answers provided.

The American economy in the 1980's

Conclusion There are many things that could distort or completely change the picture that has been sketched of the U.S. economy in the 1980's. War and major technological innovations are two that come immediately to mind. A quick and unexpected reversal of the trends that form the basis of the picture could also, although this seems very unlikely. Or new and unanticipated socio-psychological trends could be generated which would result in a different picture than the one presented. Perhaps it appears that I have stuck my neck out in this discussion. If you think that, you are wrong; I am in a can't-lose situation. If I am right, I can always point to my statements of 1978. Since the anticipations of this paper cannot be fully judged for at least a decade, I am safe even if I am wrong. In ten years nobody except me will remember what I said today, and even I may not.
