经济·奢侈·禁欲——评马克思、桑巴特、韦伯关于资本主义兴起的原因

马克思、桑巴特与韦伯对资本主义兴起的原因都有自己的独特观点。马克思把资本主义的兴起归咎于经济因素,桑巴特认为奢侈促进了资本主义的兴起,韦伯则认为资本主义的兴起是由禁欲主义引起的。研究他们对资本主义兴起原因的分析,有利于反思中国当前的现实问题,对我国的现在与将来具有借鉴意义。     

When information wanted to be free: Discursive bifurcation of information and the origins of Web 2.0

In the 1990s the aphorism “information wants to be free” reigned supreme, limiting our thinking in consequential ways. In actuality this aphorism was a fragment of a much more nuanced statement by Steward Brand, who also talked about “information wants to be expensive.” It seemed for quite a while that there was no resolution to the contradiction: information as both free and expensive. Eventually Web 2.0 resolved this contradiction by providing an architecture where information could be both free and expensive. Web 2.0 was not a product of technological advances: social media, wikis, big data platforms, and so forth. It was borne out of the understanding that free information on media platforms could yield profitable data on users. This article lays bare the discursive moves through which this understanding came about.     

Transnational skills development in post-industrial knowledge economies: the case of Luxembourg and the Greater Region

Luxembourg exhibits strong transnational traits within its skills regime, defying any neat fit with existing educational typologies. It is characterised by its high-skill economy, cross-cultural characteristics, and central location within the European Union. As such, Luxembourg has developed a hybrid strategy of responding to labour market challenges, and by that, to skills development. Our institutionalist analysis finds that Luxembourg is involved in transnational skills development in three complementary ways: (a) employers in Luxembourg extensively recruit skilled workers at the European and global levels, but also (b) heavily rely on the distinct skills sets of cross-border commuters from the neighbouring regions of Belgium, France, and Germany (the Greater Region). Furthermore, (c) Luxembourg combines institutional elements of these neighbouring countries – representing distinct models of capitalism and welfare – within its own education system. In combining the specific strengths of different national skills regimes, institutional bricolage represents a core feature of Luxembourg’s highly stratified system of skill formation. Our analytical framework refers to two major comparative political economy perspectives, namely the welfare state and varieties of capitalism approaches, to analyse how Luxembourg has responded to deindustrialisation by creating a domestic transnational labour market.

马克思经济美学思想及其当代意义

当代主流经济学的工具主义的贫困以及美学的世俗转向使得经济美学的建立成为可能。但是,目前国内学术界对于经济美学的研究甚少。本文从经济学的价值美和经济学的工具美两个方面阐述了马克思经济美学的思想及其当代意义。马克思经济学兼具科学性与人文性的特点,它是通过研究物与物之间的关系来研究人与人之间的关系,"人的自由全面发展"思想既是马克思经济学发展的目标,同时也兼具美学内涵,成为马克思经济美学的核心思想;此外,马克思经济学的研究方法也蕴含着"简洁美"与"和谐美"等美学特征。在今天,马克思经济美学思想对"以人为本"发展观以及和谐经济观的建构仍然有着重要的理论借鉴价值与现实指导意义。     

经济全球化的本质及其对资本主义的影响

经济全球化既是生产力发展到新阶段的结果，又与资本主义的全球扩张相联系。经济全球化的本质属性应包括两个方面。经济全球化是由发达资本主义国家倡导和推动的，在为发达资本主义国家带来巨大物质利益的同时，也使资本主义世界体系内的一系列矛盾更加尖锐。

问题在于改变世界——论奥尔曼“内在关系的辩证法”对阿多诺“否定的辩证法”的超越

奥尔曼“内在关系的辩证法”超越阿多诺“否定的辩证法”的地方至少表现在三个方面：后者仅仅在批判资本主义旧世界，而前者却不仅在批判资本主义旧世界，更在发现社会主义和共产主义新世界；后者失去了对社会主义必然性的信心，而前者却再次论证了马克思“两个必然”的结论；后者对资本主义的批判和否定只是一种理论上的批判和否定，而前者则不仅从理论上对资本主义进行分析和批判，而且要求在实践上进行这种批判。     

The Sovereign Debt Crisis＇ Causes is the Basic Contradiction of Capitalist Society

主权债务危机给正在走出金融危机的世界经济带来新的变数,成为影响世界经济的主要问题之一。欧洲主权债务危机和不久前的金融危机有着千丝万缕的联系。资本主义国家的主权债务危机是资本主义社会经济危机在当代全球化、金融化背景下的表现形式,是当代资本主义社会难以调和的矛盾,其根源依然是资本主义社会基本矛盾,资本主义国家固有的政治制度也是其发生的重要原因。资本主义难逃被取代的命运。
