On the one hand, I say that the political dominance of bondholders is exactly what we should expect. But then, why get angry about it? I guess that's part of what it means to be a Marxists, no? -- you have to combine a clear-headed analysis of why the world is the way it is, with a sense that the way the world is, is morally intolerable.<br /><br />On the specific question of US-European differences -- which I agree are real, and important -- the best treatment I know is Moschonas' <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Name-Social-Democracy-Transformation-Present/dp/1859843468" rel="nofollow">In The Name of Social Democracy</a>.

I'm sure you've seen this argument, too -- there is an interesting book on the history of American foreign policy (can't find the citation now) that integrates this argument, and Tom Ferguson's /Investment Theory of Politics/ also quotes this Federalist paper.<br /><br />Color me convinced -- I think it's a compelling justification for modern liberal democracy. it integrates the propertied foundations of capitalist society with the political institutions necessary to sustain such foundations, using the language of bourgeois freedom in the process.<br /><br />so, let's say i adopt this model in what i'm about to say. <br /><br />still, with this framework it is difficult to explain the differences btwn say scandinavia and the u.s.<br /><br />but it does suggest that they are small differences -- that's not an argument i like to make (especially in light of your polemic against *'s in statistics :) but then again, it was the argument i thouhgt you were making.<br /><br /> the main reason for my first comment was to try to get at why you are "so angry" over these issues. are you angry at the general idea of the strong influence of bondholders, or at how much more of an influence they seem to have in u.s. politics than elsewhere?<br /><br />and, finally, if the latter-- i was hoping for an explanation of your position, because it seems at odds with the view of politics which I (and which I thought you also) tend to agree with.Daniel MacDonaldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07546752099879983120noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5154389358831836369.post-7991884366086078592010-08-27T22:09:49.879-04:002010-08-27T22:09:49.879-04:00It's interesting you picked up on that line, b...It's interesting you picked up on that line, because I rewrote it several times. And the reason for that is, that the answer to your question is, I don't know.<br /><br />In principle one could say that in a society with a genuinely mass-based party of government, the interest of society as a whole could be operational even under capitalism. In most of the world, for sure, the only way the interests of the majority of the population can be expressed is agonistically, with strikes, riots, uprisings, etc. But what about in Gemrany, in Scnadinavia? Again, I just don't know. <br /><br />What do you think?JW Masonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10664452827447313845noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5154389358831836369.post-1376917402939765092010-08-27T21:49:24.707-04:002010-08-27T21:49:24.707-04:00"Especially in a hyper-pluralistic polity lik..."Especially in a hyper-pluralistic polity like the US, what you have are broader and narrower particular interests. And when it comes to economic policy, the interest that matters is the interest of owners of financial assets."<br /><br />I'm wondering whether this statement (and your blanket statement about "all kinds of" Keynesianism) is applicable to other countries' political systems. For example I had a discussion with one of my friends about race and he makes a similar comment concerning the need to always please the center-right in any policy proposals. <br /><br />Basically I'm wondering whether this "state in capitalist society" model you're adopting here is relevant outside of the U.S. and in so, how you explain the variations -- say, Germany's Keynesianism vs. ours.Daniel MacDonaldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07546752099879983120noreply@blogger.com
