The value of rents and the likelihood of conflictsInternational Review of Economics - Tập 56 - Trang 163-173 - 2009
Khaled Bennour
This paper extends the prey–predator model of Grossman and Kim (J Political Econ 103:1275–1288, 1995) to analyze the relation between the value of a contested rent and the emergence of conflict. We show that an increase in the value of the rent makes a conflict equilibrium more likely. We also analyze the case where the valuation of the rent is different for the two players. We find, for example, ...... hiện toàn bộ

Emilio Di Somma
This essay wishes to address what is believed to be a central historical crossroad that allowed the development of economics, and other social sciences, in the modern era. Such development would not have been possible without the transformation of the fundamental ontology through which European and Christian societies understood the world around them and their own social structures.

Civil economy: definition and strategies for sustainable well-livingInternational Review of Economics - Tập 65 - Trang 329-357 - 2018
Leonardo Becchetti, Massimo Cermelli
The civil economy paradigm presented in this paper has two main characteristics. First, it identifies the philosophical roots of the limits of our socioeconomic system in the reductionist views of human beings, corporations, and well-being. The three reductionist views not only fail to capture an important part of the reality, but also produce poverty of sense of life (also defined as eudaimonic w...... hiện toàn bộ

We start by presenting a few concepts that have recently appeared in the economic literature with the aim of capturing some of the peculiarities of personalised interactions. We claim that these concepts can be subsumed fairly well under the concept of ‘relational goods’. We then review the ...... hiện toàn bộ

The meta-crisis of secular capitalismInternational Review of Economics - Tập 62 - Trang 197-212 - 2015
John Milbank, Adrian Pabst
The current global economic crisis concerns the way in which contemporary capitalism has turned to financialisation as a double cure for both a falling rate of profit and a deficiency of demand. Although this turning is by no means unprecedented, policies of financialisation have depressed demand (in part as a result of the long-term stagnation of average wages) while at the same time not proving ...... hiện toàn bộ
