on Post Keynesian Economics |
| By: | Song, Xianwei (Shandong University of Finance and Economics) |
| Abstract: | In Capital, on the assumption that the values of the means of production are not transformed, Marx proves that total value equals total production price, and total surplus value equals total profit. Later, when many Marxist economists relax this assumption, they find that the two aggregate equalities no longer hold simultaneously. For more than a century, this has been one of the main problems plaguing Marxian economists. This paper shows that the reason for the problem is that the calculation ranges of the two aggregate equalities are inconsistent, that is, the calculation of total surplus value and total profit does not include all the surplus value and profit in the total value and total price. Assuming that the total exploitation rate is constant before and after the transformation, the two aggregate equalities must be valid at the same time if the calculation ranges are consistent. |

| Abstract: | The word 'development' inherently conveys teleological connotations -a progression from an 'unachieved' state of affairs towards a desirable one ('being developed'). It is argued that, paradoxically, this concept, its meanings (its epistemology), and its uses (in empirical reality) do not display an evolutionary path where phenomena converge towards a dynamic ('development'), or where its successive paradigms exhibit path-dependency (an improved adequation to reality). Instead, the concept is subject to fissiparity and dilution as it is used by numerous disciplines, and as it has been shaped more by 'external' geopolitical events than by reflections on its epistemological validity, and by institutions that do not prioritise the advancement of knowledge. Furthermore, the object of economic 'development' has dissolved, with groups of countries fluctuating over time. the concept hence exhibits fissiparous dynamics more than teleological connotations and is not driven by the quest for an improved fit of its meanings to reality. |

| Abstract: | This doctoral project explores the transition from sustainable entrepreneurship to post-growth entrepreneurship. The project builds on the premise that mainstream sustainable entrepreneurship is grounded in a weak conception of sustainability-one that proves inadequate in solving growing ecological and social crises. Degrowth, by contrast, offers a strong approach to sustainability, yet its principles remain only marginally incorporated into entrepreneurial practice. The dissertation seeks to clarify the distinctions between these two perspectives, to develop a theoretical framework for translating degrowth principles into the entrepreneurial ecosystem, and to analyze the risks associated with such a transition. Adopting a constructivist epistemological stance, the study draws on a comprehensive literature review, a systemic analytical framework, and an intervention-research project carried out with LIDEV, a sustainable-entrepreneurship support organization based in Geneva. The project thus provides value both to scholars and practitioners by generating new knowledge that can enable entrepreneurs to explore pathways toward more robust forms of sustainability. |
| Abstract: | Ce projet de thèse explore la transition de l'entrepreneuriat durable vers l'entrepreneuriat post-croissance. Il part du principe que l'entrepreneuriat durable tel qu'il est couramment compris repose sur une conception fragile de la durabilité, qui s'avère insuffisante pour résoudre les crises écologiques et sociales croissantes. La décroissance, en revanche, propose une approche solide de la durabilité, mais ses principes ne sont encore que très peu intégrés dans la pratique entrepreneuriale. La thèse vise à clarifier les distinctions entre ces deux perspectives, à développer un cadre théorique permettant de transposer les principes de la décroissance dans l'écosystème entrepreneurial, et à analyser les risques associés à une telle transition. Adoptant une position épistémologique constructiviste, cette étude s'appuie sur une revue exhaustive de la littérature, un cadre analytique systémique et un projet de recherche-intervention mené en collaboration avec LIDEV, une organisation de soutien à l'entrepreneuriat durable basée à Genève. Le projet apporte ainsi une valeur ajoutée tant aux chercheurs qu'aux praticiens en générant de nouvelles connaissances susceptibles de permettre aux entrepreneurs d'explorer des voies vers des formes plus solides de durabilité. |
