Maternal Provisioning

I offer the conjecture that unilateral maternal provisioning constitutes a basic economic model for all with implications and a logic of its own. Market exchange is a derivative of this model, which contradicts it and creates its own area of life. The two models interact without our awareness because we have not taken unilateral gifting seriously. Renaming exploitation as the taking of unilateral gifts reveals another way to connect the dots between unwaged housework, surplus labor and ‘nature services’, and these are also connected to colonialism, corporate globalization and ecological devastation.

Although the role of the violent strikebreaker is acknowledged by labor historians, few researchers have attempted to explore the origins and motivations of the men who made wages or careers out of surveillancing, disciplining, and punishing wage laborers. William G. Baldwin’s agency, famous as the Baldwin-Felts Detectives, outdid some of the worst atrocities committed by Pinkertons or other organizations outside the South. The career of William Baldwin provides clues as to how the allegedly “colonial” economic model of the Gilded Age/Progressive era contained its own comprador class, native southerners who actively enabled their region’s subordination. Finally, William Baldwin’s work suggests that, aside from familiar themes of surplus labor and hegemony, one of the most integral, fundamental elements of capitalism is the performance of deadly violence, a fact displayed most nakedly in a former slave society.

The paper examines various approaches to the definition of the term «digital economy» in the scientific and business environment along with factors and forms of its development in different countries taking into account the specifics of the current stage of the Russian economy, which is a matter of particular importance in seeking new sources of the world economy growth. The subject of the research is opportunities and threats inherent in the process of digitalization of economies and their impact on the operation of international and national markets as well as the development of the world economy as a whole. The purpose of the paper was to analyze the practical experience in the formation and development of the digital economy in foreign countries and Russia and identify the changes it brings to the activities of state institutions and business structures, established rules of market exchange, the process of promotion and use of innovations. All the above made it possible to determine the country-level specifics of the digital economy evolution reveal the contradictory nature of its manifestations and justify the necessity for active participation of the state in stimulation and support of potentially promising digital innovations in various sectors of the economy. It is concluded that the level of the digital economy development depends on the real-sector performance, the maturity of markets, the state of the national economy. It is highlighted that the criteria for a comprehensive assessment of the results of the economy digitalization must be developed.
