The essay introduces the new journal and points out that economists have a long-standing, albeit virtually unknown, history of thinking about questions of conflict, war, and peace. Prominent contributors include Kenneth Arrow, Kenneth Boulding, F.Y. Edgeworth, John Kenneth Galbraith, Jack Hirshleifer, John Maynard Keynes, Lawrence Klein, Wassily Leontief, V.I. Lenin, Friedrich List, Karl Marx, Jean Monnet, Mancur Olson, Vilfredo Pareto, A.C. Pigou, David Ricardo, Lionel Robbins, Joseph A. Schumpeter, Werner Sombart, Thomas Schelling, Adam Smith, Jan Tinbergen, Thorstein Veblen, and Knut Wicksell, a surprisingly diverse assembly. If one draws the net a bit wider and thinks about how societies constitute and regulate themselves, even thinkers such as James Buchanan and Douglass North would be included in this list. Members of society can produce and engage in voluntary exchange and grant-making, or they can produce and appropriate from each other. Clearly, economics as a discipline is intimately linked to issues of conflict, war, and peace.

Economy Change

This chapter discusses the history of economics and the events that shaped that history. It first considers the nature and content of economics, taking into account questions related to the theory of value and the theory of distribution, the institutions involved in economic activity, and the larger political and social framework in which economic life proceeds. It views economics as a reflection of the world in which specific economic ideas have developed, such as those associated with Adam Smith, David Ricardo, Karl Marx, and John Maynard Keynes. It argues that economic ideas are not very important when and where there is no economy. Change in economics has been reluctant and reluctantly accepted, especially by those who benefit from the status quo and economists who have a vested interest in what has always been taught and believed.

Realökonomische Probleme haben zu allen Zeiten die Theorien der Ökonomie und ihrer großen Denker beeinflusst. Wichtige Themen der Ökonomie sind das gesamtwirtschaftliche Wachstum, Verteilungsprobleme, individuelle Nutzenmaximierung, Keynesianismus, Monetarismus – und ganz neue Ansätze wie Evolutorik, Spieltheorie oder Verhaltensökonomie, die ihr Potenzial noch beweisen müssen. Sie verbinden sich in der Moderne mit Namen von Ökonomen wie Adam Smith, Robert Malthus, David Ricardo, John Stuart Mill, Friedrich List, Karl Marx, John Maynard Keynes oder Milton Friedman. Oder die Betrachtung der Ökonomie verdichtet sich in Stichworten wie Marginalanalyse, Historische Schule, Neoklassik, Institutionalismus, Neue-Institutionenökonomik und Monetarismus – neuerdings auch Evolutorik, Verhaltensökonomik oder Spieltheorie. Für alle, die zur Ökonomie gründlich aufbereitetes und grundlegendes Überblickswissen mit Prüfungsrelevanz suchen.

Field Of Inquiry

In its most artless definition, political economy refers to the study of inter- and intrastate transaction—concerned in large part with the dialectics of state governance and the production/consumption functions therein. Many of us, with varying degrees of deliberation, have read the works of forerunning political economists such as Adam Smith (c. 1723-1790), David Ricardo (c. 1772-1823), Thomas Malthus (c. 1766-1834), John Stuart Mill (c. 1806-1873), Karl Marx (c. 1818-1883), and Thorstein Veblen (c. 1857-1929). These classic political economists and their contemporaries shared a concern for the extent to which land, labor, income, capital, and the population derived value from, and maintained contingency with, state polity. While each diverged from the others in how to best organize the State in relation to markets and exchange activities (and vice versa) so as to optimize the citizenry’s well-being, these scholars and their contemporaries laid the foundations for the long-standing field of inquiry fixed on exploring how various national political systems (democracy, monarchy, aristocracy, oligarchy, etc.), markets, and political and economic behavior could bring about national prosperity, maximize individual freedom, or raise collective utility.

El presente trabajo se propone exponer y discutir la recepción temprana de Das Kapital en el campo de las ciencias sociales, enfocándose en el análisis que Thorstein Veblen hizo a principios del siglo XX. Con una formación sólida como filósofo y como economista, Veblen era la persona mejor preparada para mostrar las virtudes y defectos de la teoría de Marx. Según su análisis, el cual denomino interpretación holista, la originalidad de Marx recae en la forma como amalgama elementos pertenecientes a dos tradiciones de pensamiento completamente ajenas entre sí; es decir, el idealismo alemán, y en particular, al teoría de Hegel, con la economía política inglesa de Adam Smith, Jeremy Bentham y David Ricardo. Por consiguiente, dado que la fuerza de la teoría del capital no recaen en los elementos considerados de manera aislada, sino en la forma en que han sido incorporado en una estructura lógica fuerte, sostiene Veblen, no tiene sentido discutir la teoría de Marx analizando cada uno de sus elementos por separado; proceder de esta forma solo puede dar lugar al tipo de incomprensiones que han provocado por igual criticas desafortunadas y extensos comentarios insustanciales, algunos de los cuales es posible encontrar aún en la literatura.

AbstractThis essay selectively reviews the history of economic thought on war and peace, starting with Adam Smith. Today, Smith’s trickle of thoughts has become a broad marshland. In this marshland, however, discrete currents are apparent – some stronger, some weaker – which this essay identifies, in rough chronological order, as war, defense, conflict, military, security, and peace economics. As these terms often are used interchangeably, one purpose of the essay is to more clearly delineate these intellectual currents and differentiate them from each other. By building canals in the marshlands as it were, the aim is to help all flows of contributions become stronger.

<p>O objetivo desta pesquisa é analisar o conceito de trabalho alienado no pensamento de Karl Marx na sociedade moderna capitalista aos conhecimentos filosóficos nos manuscritos econômicos – filosóficos,1844. Desse modo, o trabalho alienado é fundamental para um debate e discussões filosóficas na teoria marxista e o liberalismo econômico na modernidade. Na discussão teórica - filosófica, Marx discute o conceito de trabalho alienado a partir de uma crítica aos fundamentos econômicos e políticos na sociedade do mercado/capitalista. Contudo, a literatura teórica é apresentada nos manuscritos econômicos – filosóficos. Nesta obra, Marx faz crítica aos filósofos fisiocratas de Adam Smith e David Ricardo. Estes consideram o trabalho como de fonte de riqueza do trabalhador. Assim, trabalho e alienação vão na lógica sob o processo da mais valia dos sujeitos como a exploração da força do trabalhador para manter a relação econômica para o sistema de produção capitalista. Dessa forma, A metodologia utilizada foi uma pesquisa bibliográfica no pensamento marxista sobre e o conceito de trabalho alienado na sociedade capitalista.</p><p> </p>
