SUMMARY:St Catharine’s Political Economy Seminar – ‘The End of History: The Political Economy of Post-Liberal Capitalism’ by Aleksandr Buzgalin
DESCRIPTION:Date: Wednesday\, 13 November 2019\nTime: 18:00 -19:30\nSpeaker: Aleksandr Buzgalin\nTalk Title: ‘The End of History: The Political Economy of Post-Liberal Capitalism’\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:\nAleksandr Buzgalin is professor at the department of Political Economy and director of the Center for Modern Marxist Studies at Lomonosov Moscow State University\, Russia\, and Editor in Chief of Questions of Political Economy (Russian bilingual academic journal). He is also vice president of the World Association for Political Economy (WAPE).  Buzgalin is the author of more then 400 publications\, including 23 books\, translated into a number of languages. His areas of research focus on methodological and fundamental aspects of political economy\, in particular contradictions of the late capitalism\, caused by the new technological transformations and new qualities of market\, money and capital in the era of creative revolution. Results of his research were published in Cambridge Journal of Economics\, Science & Society and other journals. He is also the author of books and articles in the sphere of development studies\, comparative analysis of economic systems and nature of Russian economy. \nTalk Overview\nThirty years ago\, Francis Fukuyama in his article ‘The End of History?’ formulated a thesis about the final victory of the neoliberal model of capitalism. But history does not stop. Two hundred years after the birth of Marx\, The Economist wrote that the millenial generation chooses socialism\, and the experts who prepared the report to the US president described socialism as the main threat. Alexander Buzgalin shows that the cause of these fears is the crisis of the existing system of economic relations and institutions of late capitalism. He systematizes the evidences of this crisis and shows\, that dominant political and economic elite is looking for a way out of the impasse on the paths of ‘neoliberal conservatism’ that integrates further de-socialization and deregulation in the economy with conservative-authoritarian trends in politics and ideology. At the end of the contribution\, Alexander Buzgalin reveals a number of ways of socialization\, humanization and ecologization of capitalism\, objectively conditioned by the progress of technologies and practices of civil society actors\, which differ from the existing social democratic projects that have proved to be of little effectiveness \nPlease contact the seminar organisers Philip Arestis (pa267@cam.ac.uk) and Michael Kitson (mk24@cam.ac.uk) in the event of a query \n

SUMMARY:St Catharine’s Political Economy Seminar – ‘Policies to promote low-carbon technological development’ by Hector Pollitt
DESCRIPTION:Date: Wednesday\, 27 November 2019\nTime: 18:00 -19:30\nSpeaker: Hector Pollitt\nTalk Title: “Policies to promote low-carbon technological development”\nLocation: Ramsden Room\, St Catharine’s College \nSpeaker:\nHector Pollitt is the head of modelling at Cambridge Econometrics. He is a post-Keynesian economist with specific expertise in macro-sectoral economic modelling. He is currently researching linkages between post-Keynesian economics and complexity theory. At Cambridge Econometrics\, Hector Pollitt oversees the application of the E3ME macro-econometric model\, which treats the economy as a dynamic system that both shapes and is influenced by technological development. Using the E3ME model\, he has carried out high-level policy analysis for public authorities at UK\, EU and global levels. He has worked with the European Commission for over ten years and provided inputs to the recent assessment of the EU’s long-term decarbonisation strategy. His other recent work has shown how the development of low-carbon technologies could lead to long-run economic benefits. For example\, his modelling for the 2018 New Climate Economy report suggested that limiting global temperature change to 2°C could create $26trn of additional wealth by 2030. \nTalk Overview\nThe challenge to decarbonise the global economy is primarily one of technology development and diffusion. Policies that are popular with economists\, such as carbon taxes\, will not be effective at reducing emissions levels if consumers do not see affordable alternatives to fossil fuels. Furthermore\, without new technology options\, these policies are likely to cause social unrest. The solar revolution has given us conclusive proof that policy can influence both the direction and speed of technological development. This finding has important implications for policy makers and suggests that a much broader portfolio of measures is needed than basic carbon pricing measures.\nHowever\, successful innovation policy requires an understanding of the innovation chain\, right through from basic laboratory research to final commercialisation of products. Accelerating this process requires interventions at each point in the innovation chain. This seminar discusses the role of innovation policy in combating climate change. It will discuss the role of research in the private and public sectors\, and the interaction of incentives to innovate with other climate policies. \nPlease contact the seminar organisers Philip Arestis (pa267@cam.ac.uk) and Michael Kitson (mk24@cam.ac.uk) in the event of a query.
