Social Capital and Market Centralisation: A Two-Sector Model
No full textWe develop a two-sector model to analyze which kind of social organization generates social capital. The hypothesis is that social capital must be added as an important production factor when considering decentralization of production. Thus, market centralization processes in a capitalist society eventually may fragmentize and thus destroy social capital if the positive externality of local production and social capital is not taken into account. To our knowledge, no such attempt to model social capital has yet been undertaken and this gap or ‘missing link’ in economic debates has to be developed to grasp a more holistic understanding of the big differences in the wealth of nations or regions. The model shows that if the policy maker decides to centralize the economy, then the economy moves from an potentially stable equilibrium to an unstable one that may under certain condition even fluctuate forever.Social capital; market centralization; two-sector model; economic growth growth

Review Of A Philosophy Of Freedom By L. Svendsen
No full textSvendsen (Univ. of Bergen, Norway) offers a wide-ranging discussion and defense of freedom—both metaphysical and normative—demonstrating his solid grasp of issues and literature on both these broad topics. Included are a sensible discussion of the limits of brain science as it pertains to freedom, and a careful survey of various responses to determinism. Svendsen argues that if people are to make sense of their lives as moral animals, then their use of various reactive attitudes such as resentment and gratitude (see P. F Strawson’s Freedom and Resentment and Other Essays, CH, Nov\u2774) is unavoidable, along with such notions as autonomy. But, of course, freedom and autonomy are contested concepts, insists Svendsen. Though he does not break new ground, his synoptic integration of views on these topics will stir readers to think more clearly about them. Svendsen defends liberal democracy in some detail but recognizes the internal tensions inherent in any democracy, e.g., majority rule and minority rights, and free expression and its limits. One of the good things about this book is the author\u27s thorough familiarity with both so-called analytic and so-called Continental sources, which he brings together fruitfully in his final chapter, citing the works of Michel Foucault, Paul Ricoeur, and Harry Frankfurt. Valuable for all libraries, especially undergraduate ones. Summing Up: Highly recommended. Lower-level undergraduates through graduate students; general readers
