SUMMARY:St Catharine’s Political Economy Seminar – ‘The Global Commodity System in the 21st Century’ by Photis Lysandrou
DESCRIPTION:Date: Wednesday\, 17 April 2019\nTime: 18:00 -19:30\nSpeaker: Photis Lysandrou\nTalk Title: ‘The Global Commodity System in the 21st Century’\nLocation: Ramsden Room\, St Catharine’s College \nAll are welcome. The seminar series is supported by the Cambridge Journal of Economics and the Economics and Policy Group at the Judge Business School. \nSpeaker:\nPhotis Lysandrou is Research Professor at City University Political Economy Research Centre (CITYPERC)\, Department of International Politics\, City University of London. His current research interests are in the areas of the global finance\, shadow banking\, corporate governance and the political economy of Europe. His recent journal publications include “The Colonisation of the Future: An Alternative View of Financialisation and its Portents”\, Journal of Post Keynesian Economics\, December 2016\, and “The Explosive Growth of the US ABCP Market Between 2004 and 2007: A Search for Yield Story” (co-author\, Mimoza Shabani)\, Journal of Post Keynesian Economics\, March\, 2017. His most recent book is ‘Commodity: The Global Commodity System in the 21st Century’ published by Routledge. \nTalk Overview:\nThe purpose of this contribution is to provide a generalising into the contemporary global economic condition. To this end\, it deploys an analytical framework whose basic unit of analysis is the commodity principle as defined by Karl Marx. During Marx’s lifetime that principle was only dominant in a few regions and even then merely encompassed the labour power and capital capacities in addition to their material outputs. By the end of the 20th century the commodity principle had not only been stretched to encompass the entire globe and but also deepened to encompass the public capacity of government in addition to the private capacities and financial securities in addition to material goods and services. Thus the contemporary global economic condition is viewed from the standpoint of this newly emergent global commodity system. The seminar will first discuss the structure\, genesis and operation of the global commodity system before concluding with some proposals for controlling the system. The key proposal will be a call for the establishment of a global tax authority charged with the dual responsibility of coordinating national tax regimes and of implanting a global wealth tax. \nPlease contact the seminar organisers Philip Arestis (pa267@cam.ac.uk) and Michael Kitson m.kitson@jbs.cam.ac.uk) in the event of a query.

SUMMARY:St Catharine’s Political Economy Seminar – ‘Industrial Policy in the UK' by Diane Coyle
DESCRIPTION:Date: Wednesday\, 24 April 2019\nTime: 18:00 -19:30\nSpeaker: Diane Coyle\nTalk Title: ‘Industrial Policy in the UK’\nLocation: Ramsden Room\, St Catharine’s College \nAll are welcome. The seminar series is supported by the Cambridge Journal of Economics and the Economics and Policy Group at the Judge Business School. \nSpeaker:\nDiane Coyle was previously Professor of Economics at the University of Manchester and has held a number of public service roles including Vice Chair of the BBC Trust (2006-2014)\, member of the Competition Commission (2001-2009)\, and member of the Migration Advisory Committee (2009-2014).\nDiane Coyle is currently a member of the Natural Capital Committee\, an expert adviser to the National Infrastructure Commission and a member of the Council of Economic Advisers. Diane Coyle was awarded a CBE for her contribution to the public understanding of economics in the 2018 New Year Honours. Diane Coyle is heading research in the fields of public policy economics\, technology\, industrial strategy and global inequality.\nDiane Coyle is currently the Bennett Professor of Public Policy\, and Fellow of Churchill College\, University of Cambridge. \nTalk Overview:\nThe disparity between the least and most productive regions in the UK is wide by the standards of many other OECD economies. While there are many contributory factors to the poor economic outcomes of many UK regions\, this paper argues that the concentration of public investment is in and around London and the South East. The appraisal process for infrastructure investment projects follows the methodological set out in the Treasury’s Green Book\, with major funding allocation decisions almost wholly centralised. In this paper\, Diane Coyle argues that this methodology has reinforced the regional imbalance of the UK economy; that recent changes to the appraisal methods are welcome but unlikely by themselves to redress the London bias in infrastructure decisions; and that although evidence-based appraisal is important\, infrastructure investments also need to be based on a strategic view about economic development for the whole of the UK. \nPlease contact the seminar organisers Philip Arestis (pa267@cam.ac.uk) and Michael Kitson m.kitson@jbs.cam.ac.uk) in the event of a query.
