Hannah Arendt saw that imperialism, led to the anti-political drive for infinite and thus total expansion that was one element of totalitarianism. Imperialism is also, as Rosa Luxemburg argued, the necessary engine of capitalist accumulation. Drucilla Cornell builds on Luxemburg's analysis of imperialism to help explain both the force of the capitalist economy today and also sites of resistance to it. Exploring alternative economic spaces seeking a foothold in South Africa, Cornell argues that such a living communism might be seen as a deeper form of democracy, one that not only involves decision making but also organizes the mass of the people as coproducers of a common outside … which is “ours.”Less

The chapter presents Gallman’s core data on the capital stock from 1774 to 1900. The data include the current-price series, the constant-price (in 1860 dollars) series, and the implicit price deflators that link the two capital stock series. The chapter provides the break-down of the capital stock by economic sector and by type (structures, equipment, inventories). The chapter describes the path of capital accumulation.Less

In this book, Horace Bartilow develops a theory of embedded corporatism to explain the U.S. government’s war on drugs. Stemming from President Richard Nixon’s 1971 call for an international approach to this “war,” U.S. drug enforcement policy has persisted with few changes to the present day, despite widespread criticism of its effectiveness and of its unequal effects on hundreds of millions of people across the Americas. While researchers consistently emphasize the role of race in U.S. drug enforcement, Bartilow’s empirical analysis highlights the class dimension of the drug war and the immense power that American corporations wield within the regime.
Drawing on qualitative case study methods, declassified U.S. government documents, and advanced econometric estimators that analyze cross-national data, Bartilow demonstrates how corporate power is projected and embedded—in lobbying, financing of federal elections, funding of policy think tanks, and interlocks with the federal government and the military. Embedded corporatism, he explains, creates the conditions by which the interests of state and nonstate members of the regime converge to promote capital accumulation. The subsequent human rights repression, illiberal democratic governments, antiworker practices, and widening income inequality throughout the Americas, Bartilow argues, are the pathological policy outcomes of embedded corporatism in drug enforcement.Less
