“And what if the choice had never been between Market and State organizations, between liberals and socialists, but instead between those who believe in the miracles of a pre-established harmony and those who refuse to ‘believe in miracles’? Could we not re-read, retrospectively, everything that has happened to us in the past two hundred years and that we have far too hastily summarized under the name of ‘#capitalism’?” (Latour and Lépinay 2009: 5) https://economicsociology.org/2019/07/19/neither-market-nor-state/Why have historians ceded authority to economists as reliable and competent policy advisors? Proponents of alternatives must rise up. They are not in short supply; they are even in high demand. #History is an illuminating projector towards the future. Understanding #politicaleconomy, which is essentially a historical science, is a powerful tool to confront neoliberal politics backed by neoliberal #economics. https://economicsociology.org/2014/10/09/how-historians-have-ceded-authority-to-economists-as-reliable-and-competent-policy-advisors/ #neoliberalism #policyTags
