Labour markets, social justice and economic efficiency
传统理论认为社会正义与经济效率存在取舍,但本文指出市场受权力关系主导,社会正义实为生产性因素;新自由主义政策加剧不公,需通过理论革命转向充分就业和劳动市场改革。
In conventional economic theory, a trade-off supposedly exists between social justice and economic efficiency. In reality, market and other economic institutions are dominated by power relations, so that the sponsorship of social justice is a productive factor. Neo-liberal economic policies, by lifting the constraints on the exercise of unequal power, increased injustice and triggered a downward economic and social spiral. Reversing this requires a revolution in economic theory and policy focused on full employment, the working of labour markets, the organisation of work, and household organisation, social provision and self-sufficiency.
