Reviewed by: After Adam Smith: A Century of Transformation in Politics and Political Economy Peter Mandler (bio) After Adam Smith: A Century of Transformation in Politics and Political Economy, by Murray Milgate and Shannon C. Stimson; pp. x + 306. Princeton and Oxford: Princeton University Press, 2009, $35.00, £24.95. Thirty years ago the history of political economy played a central role in Victorian studies. The social concerns that had driven the rise of Victorian studies since the Second World War led to vigorous scholarly debates about population growth, industrialization, class, poor laws, factories, laissez faire, and state intervention. An understanding of Adam Smith, Thomas Malthus, David Ricardo, and J. S. Mill was crucial to an understanding of the terms in which the Victorians dealt with these questions. Looking forward, even the history of Victorian social criticism from Thomas Carlyle and John Ruskin to the origins of the Labour party couldn't be understood except in the context of continuities with as well as reactions against classical political economy. Looking backward, a rediscovery of Smith's civic-republican and civic-moralist roots helped to explain his curious relevance to the left as much as to the right up to the present day. As late as the 1980s, the work of Donald Winch, Istvan Hont and Michael Ignatieff, Boyd Hilton, and others added vigorously to our understanding of the complexities of the Scottish Enlightenment and the ways in which its thinking was embedded in Victorian social and political thought as well as social and political reform. It is fair to say that all of these questions—and their answers—appear rather shopworn today. The social concerns of the postwar decades, revolving around class, have been substantially displaced by new concerns for nation, race, and gender. The hegemony of neoclassical economics since the 1980s has, oddly, put its critics off from examining its classical roots—it was more comfortable, perhaps, to look away. Postmodernism's interest in political economy stretched only so far as was necessary to explode its naive epistemology; exploring its inner workings seemed irrelevant at best, a trap that might draw you back into the system at worst. After Adam Smith, by Murray Milgate and Shannon C. Stimson, seeks to rectify this omission. Aimed explicitly at neoclassical economists' misunderstanding and misappropriation of Smith's legacy, it seeks both to restore Smith's concepts to the late-eighteenth-century context in which they developed and to show how subsequent generations revised those concepts for their own uses and their own contexts—particularly in the immediate, early-nineteenth-century aftermath of Smith's own time. Despite the title, more than a third of the book is devoted to Smith himself, to his ideas about economic growth, liberty, and civil society, and to the wide variety of possible relations between economics and politics. By the authors' own admission, the analysis here rests heavily on Winch's pioneering work. They then move on, in their most interesting chapter, to Dugald Stewart's representation of Smith, narrowing a loose and suggestive body of thought into a science of legislation—"and economic legislation at that" (109). Subsequent chapters remind us that Stewart did not have the last word. Malthus's introduction of the population question—a specific polemical animus against 1790s [End Page 319] utopianism—was claimed both as an elaboration of and as a repudiation of Smith's legacy. James Mill's and Ricardo's applications of utilitarianism to political economy is shown to have ambiguous implications for the idea of democracy. At this point, Milgate and Stimson temporarily abandon the legacy of Smith as a focal point for the book—reasonably enough given the radical transformations in the political environment between the 1770s and the 1820s. They resume the Smithian theme in a discussion of how far the dynamic elements of Smith's thinking were affected by early-nineteenth-century utopianism and ideas about the stationary state. In an unusual deviation from the canonical figures, Milgate and Stimson then consider Ricardian socialism—or, rather, one particular Ricardian socialist, Thomas Hodgskin—and the relationship of radical political economy to Smith and Ricardo. Returning to the earlier discussion of utilitarianism, they consider J. S. Mill...

The Pure Theory of Government Finance: A Suggested Approach

Since 1970s the development of International Political Economy (IPE) has caused some debates about the essence of this new discipline. In general, the research of IPE is to combine the work of International Relations with Political Economy, and to investigate interactions between international politics and international economy, international politics and domestic economy, and international economy and domestic politics. Basically, there are three major perspectives-Economic Nationalism, Economic Liberalism, and Marxism-on studying these interactions. The main purpose of this article is to compare how different perspective has absorbed concept or research method from International Relations or Political Economy respectively. Through this comparative study we may distinguish differences or similarities among the IPE, International Relations, and Political Economy. In the end of this study, the author suggests that the theory of state may help us better understanding on the International Political Economy.

Political economy, in its various guises and transfigurations, is a research philosophy that presents both social commentary and theoretical progress and is concerned with a number of different topics: politics, regulation and governance, production systems, social relations, inequality and development amongst many others. As a critical theory, political economy seeks to provide an understanding of societies – and of the structures and social relations that form them – in order to evoke social change toward more equitable conditions. Despite the early influence of critical development studies and political economy on tourism research, political economy has received relatively little attention in tourism research. Political Economy and Tourism the first volume to bring together different theoretical perspectives and discourse in political economy related to tourism. Written by leading scholars, the text is organised into three sequential Parts, linked by the principle that ‘the political’ and ‘the economic’ are intimately connected. Part one presents different approaches to political economy, including Marxist political economy, regulation, comparative political economy, commodity chain research and alternative political economies; Part two links key themes of political economy, such as class, gender, labour, development and consumption, to tourism; and Part three examines the political economy at various geographical scales and focuses on the outcomes and processes of the political act of planning and managing tourism production. This engaging volume provides insights and alternative critical perspectives on political economy theory to expand discussions of tourism development and policy in the future. Political Economy and Tourism is a valuable text for students, researchers and academics interested in Tourism and related disciplines.

This book makes an important contribution to the study of changes in China’s institutions and their impact on the national economy as well as ordinary people’s daily material life from 1800 to 2000. Kent Deng reveals China’s mega-cycle of prosperity-poverty-prosperity without the usual attribution to the 1840 Opium War, or the alleged population pressure, class struggle and oriental despotism. The book challenges the conventional view on ‘rebellions’, ‘revolutions’ and their alleged motivations and outcomes. Its findings separate commonly circulated myth with reality based on solid evidence and careful evaluation. The benchmark used by the author is people’s entitlement and mundane day-to-day material well being, instead of the stereotype of aggregates of industrial hardware and national GDP. China’s Political economy in Modern Times proves that state-building was the prime mover in China’s modern history. Contrary to the popular belief in mass movement, Deng shows convincingly that changes were in most cases imposed by a minority with external help. Therefore, the quality of the state was unpredictable, seen from the anti-state that cost lives and economic growth. This book will be of interest to students and scholars of Chinese Politics, Chinese Economics, Chinese History, and Political Economy.

ABSTRACTWe examine Marx's critiques of language, politics, and capitalist political economy and show how these anticipated critical discourse and argumentation analysis and ‘cultural political economy’. Marx studied philology and rhetoric at university and applied their lessons critically. We illustrate this from three texts. The German Ideology critically explores language as practical consciousness, the division of manual and mental labor, the state, hegemony, intellectuals, and specific ideologies. The Eighteenth Brumaire studies the semantics and pragmatics of political language and how it represents (or misrepresents) the class content of politics and contributes to social transformation. Capital deconstructs the categories of classical political economy and their constitutive role in capitalist social relations. This is one aspect of CPE. Capital also highlights the structural and agential aspects of these relations, their contradictory dynamic, and their crisis-prone character. We comment on this aspect too. This said, Marx held that social transformation is mediated through political imaginaries and highlighted the need for the proletariat to develop a ‘poetry’ of the future. We then consider the misleading ‘base-superstructure’ metaphor and note how, against the thrust of Marx's work, it tends to reify culture. The article concludes that Marx contributed to the critique of semiotic as well as political economy.

Part I of our paper pinpoints the “political” in the new political economies: first, the distinction between political, public, and civic economies that are almost invariably confused; second, the role of power politics, force, and fraud in determining income differentials in the name of market forces. Part II pinpoints the “new” in twentieth‐century political economies: first, the emergence of a fourth factor of production in addition to labor, capital, and land, whether identified with organization, knowledge, headwork, education, brainpower, management, or information; second, the subordination of capital to this new factor; third, the formation of a new social class based on its ownership; fourth, the struggle between the owners of capital and the new class for control over decision making and for the lion's share in distribution; fifth, the reliance on government to protect and advance the interests of the new class of professionals; and sixth, the eclipse of the old class struggle between bourgeoisie and proletarians by a new class struggle between managers and managed, executives and executants, “knows” and “know‐nots.” Part III pinpoints the “loggerheads” or sources of dissension between the “human capital” and post‐capitalist variants of the new political economies: first, over whether the expertoisie constitute a new social class or a fraction of the bourgeoisie; second, over whether the new economic order constitutes an advanced stage of capitalism or the advent of a post‐capitalist society; and third, whether the “knows” exploit the “know‐nots” through their monopoly of economic and political power.Why “political,” why “new,” and why “at loggerheads”? Our essay divides into three parts our tentative answers to these questions.

Ben Clift Comparative Political Economy: States, Markets and Global Capitalism, Palgrave Macmillan, Basingstoke, 2014; 392 pp: 9780230555174, 28.99 [pounds sterling] (pbk) Ben Clift provides an innovative textbook that integrates numerous accounts and perspectives within the study of political economy. The book focuses especially on highlighting and explaining the linkages between political economy, international political economy (IPE) and comparative political economy (CPE). In doing so, the book successfully fills a gap between IPE and CPE, interpreting the historical evolution and transformation of state-market relations, and providing theoretically and empirically rich explanations for those transformations. Chapters 1 and 2 justify the importance of historical change in state/market relations and contemporary capitalist restructuring, locating the discussion within the context of theoretical debates in political economy. Clift situates CPE as a field of study within classical political economy, tracing especially the influence of key thinkers, including Adam Smith, Karl Marx and Friedrich List. In doing so, he grounds the history of political economy in the emergence of modern capitalism and market societies, before subsequently integrating IPE and CPE by emphasising the importance of the analysis of both international and domestic forces, and discussing how international influences are mediated and channeled in domestic contexts. Chapters 3 to 7 introduce the theories and approaches that comprise CPE, again highlighting their emergence from classical political economy. Chapter 3 introduces Adam Smith and classical liberal political economy, which emphasises the importance of free market principles. The chapter also examines economic nationalism by introducing Listian political economy, in which List highlights the importance of nations as intermediaries between individuals and humanity, and the way in which this was earlier ignored by classical political economists. Clift goes on to contrast Smithian and Listian approaches with Marxian political economy on one hand, on the other, to highlight the different understanding of wealth, value, and the concepts of capital, capitalist market and exploitation contained within Marx's work, contrasted with both liberal and nationalist understandings. Not only does Clift describe Marxian political economy concisely and clearly, but he also develops the argument that Marx's formation of the problem of historical specificity is something that can and should be adopted within theories of CPE. Clift's analysis of Marx therefore brings to the fore the potentiality for Marx's insights, especially when integrated with other theories, to understand state-market relations, social relations and structure, and how and why human beings act in the way they do. Chapter 4 describes disciplinary politics and genealogy by introducing debates on methods between protagonists and schools that include the German Historical School, Marx and historical materialism, marginalist political economy, Hayek and Keynes. Clift introduces these debates with a specific focus on the way in which CPE has emerged, and the focus and research questions that have developed at its core. In Chapter 5, the book turns to consider the influence of institutional analysis upon CPE, focusing in particular upon the varieties of capitalism (VoC) literature. This highlights the significance of institutions and approaches that examine the role of political, societal, and economic institutions in studying political economy. The strength of Clift's analysis of CPE is here particularly evident; that is, his ability to discuss, contextualise and integrate both contemporary and classical debates in a way that shows considerable attention to state-of-the-art developments within the literature. Chapter 6 moves to a focus on 'interest-based approaches' to CPE, which are considered in terms of their exploration of the question 'Who benefits? …

By the start of the Victorian period the school of British economists acknowledging Adam Smith as its master was in the ascendancy. 'Political Economy', a catch-all title which ignored the diversity of viewpoints to be found amongst the discipline's leading proponents, became associated in the popular mind with moral and political forces held to be uniquely conducive to the progress of an increasingly industrialised and competitive society. 'Political Economy' served in turn as the focus for critics of equally diverse moral and political persuasions, who sought to challenge the materialism of contemporary society and offer their own assessments of the profound social changes of the time. In the introductory essay to the collection of readings from such 'critics of capitalism', the editors review the principles of the early economists, the way in which these principles were appropriated and applied by their Victorian successors and the contrasting modes which critics of popular economic ideas assumed. Subsequent extracts from the writings of the Owenite Socialist John Bray, Carlyle, Marx and Engels, J. S. Mill, Ruskin, Arnold, T. H. Green, William Morris and G. B. Shaw, demonstrate both the breadth of the possible grounds for ideological opposition to the prevailing philosophy and the shifting nature of the debate as 'Political Economy' itself was revealed as incapable of explaining or responding to the changing conditions of the 1870s. Headnotes to the extracts describe the genesis of individual debate and discuss distinctive stylistic features. Annotation in the form of footnotes and endnotes has been designed to gloss obscure allusions and arguments. In making more accessible the socio-economic writings of those authors now better known for their imaginative work, this volume will enable readers to reach a more profound appreciation of the central role such work played in developing the moral vision embodied in their more lastingly popular books and essays.
