The recent shift from ‘global villageism’ to the ‘new wars’ revealed a deep crisis in heterodox political economy. The popular belief in neoliberal globalization, peace dividends, fiscal conservatism and sound finance that dominated the 1980s and 1990s suddenly collapsed. The early 2000s brought rising xenophobia, growing military budgets and policy profligacy. Radicals were the first to identify this transition, but their attempts to explain it have been bogged down by two major hurdles: (1) most writers continue to apply nineteenth century theories and concepts to twenty-first century realities; and (2) few seem to bother with empirical analysis.
This paper offers a radical alternative that is both theoretically new and empirically grounded. We use the ‘new wars’ as a stepping stone to understand a triple transformation that altered the nature of capital, the accumulation of capital and the unit of capital. Specifically, our argument builds on a power understanding of capital that emphasizes differential accumulation by dominant capital groups. Accumulation, we argue, has little to do with the amassment of material things measured in ‘utils’ or ‘dead labour.’ Instead, accumulation, or ‘capitalization,’ represents a commodification of power by leading groups in society. Over the past century, this power has been re-structured and concentrated through two distinct regimes of differential accumulation – ‘breadth’ and ‘depth.’ A breadth regime relies on proletarianization, on green-field investment and, particularly, on mergers and acquisitions. A depth regime builds on redistribution through stagflation – that is, on differential inflation in the midst of stagnation. In contrast to breadth which presupposes some measure of growth and stability, depth thrives on ‘accumulation through crisis.’
The past twenty years were dominated by breadth, buttressed by neoliberal rhetoric, globalization and capital mobility. This regime started to run into mounting difficulties in the late 1990s, and eventually collapsed in 2000. For differential accumulation to continue, dominant capital now needs inflation, and inflation requires instability and social crisis. It is within this broader dynamics of power accumulation that the new wars need to be understood.

The paper offers a new theoretical framework for linking inflation and accumulation, with the Israeli experience as a case study. The focal point is the process of differential accumulation by the largest core firms. The theory of differential accumulation suggests that the relative power of these firms can be augmented either through ‘breadth’ (relative employment) or ‘depth’ (relative profit per employee). In the Israeli case, inflation accelerated since the 1970s when the large core firm began shifting their emphasis from breadth to depth. The paper examines the political economic conditions typical to each of these regimes, why these conditions changed in Israel, and how the distributive gains of the core firms pushed the country onto the brink of hyperinflation. It then articulates the inherent limits of a ‘depth’ regime, why Israel reached those limits during the early 1980s, and how this brought the inflation spiral to an end.

The paper offers a new approach for analysing capitalist development and crisis, tying together mergers and acquisitions, stagflation and globalization as integral facets of accumulation. The framework builds on the concept of differential accumulation, emphasizing the power drive by dominant capital groups to beat the average and exceed the normal rate of return. Four regimes of differential accumulation are articulated: internal breadth by amalgamation, external breadth through green-field investment, internal depth via cost-cutting, and external depth through stagflation. The complex relationships between these different regimes, as well as their broader societal implications, are analysed in light of the US experience over the past century. Several broad conclusions emerge. (1) Of the four regimes, the most important are amalgamation and stagflation, which tend to oscillate inversely to each other. (2) Over the longer haul, amalgamation grows exponentially relative to green-field investment, contributing to the stagnation tendency of modern capitalism. (3) The wave-like pattern of mergers and acquisitions reflects the progressive break-up of socioeconomic ‘envelopes’, as dominant capital moves through successive amalgamation at the industry, sectoral, national, and, finally, global level. In this sense, the current global merger wave is an integral facet of differential accumulation. (4) Periodic lulls in amalgamation tend to be compensated for by stagflation, which appears as a crisis at the societal level, but which contributes significantly to differential accumulation at the disaggregate level. An end to the present worldwide merger boom could therefore trigger global stagflation. (5) Stagflation crises have been previously 'resolved' when dominant capital broke its existing envelope, pushing to amalgamate within a broader universe of takeover targets. Given that there is nothing more to conquer beyond the global envelope, future stagflation crises may prove much more difficult to tame.

This paper offers a new theoretical approach for comparing the current political-economic U-turns in South Africa and Israel. Our principal focus is on a revised notion of capital, emphasizing the central role of differential accumulation by dominant capital groups. We further distinguish between an antagonistic “depth” regime in which differential accumulation is achieved via stagflation, and a less conflictual “breadth” regime where redistribution occurs through growth. Within this framework, we argue that both the recent transition in the two countries, as well as their former regimes, were greatly affected by global developments. Until the 1980s, accumulation in both countries depended largely on depth, characterized by a marked disparity between deepening crisis on the one hand, and rapid differential accumulation on the other. In South Africa, the large companies benefited disproportionately from the impact on gold profit of global inflation, and were therefore reluctant to abandon apartheid. Similarly, Israel’s leading firms recorded spectacular gains riding the global arms race and regional conflict, and hence voiced little opposition to the continuation of a war economy at home. Recently, however, these global forces went into reverse, triggering in both countries a shift from depth to breadth. The disinflation associated with rapid globalization undermined gold profit in South Africa, while the end of the Cold War pulled the rug from under the global arms race, drying up the flow of war profit in Israel. In these new conditions, dominant capital groups in the two countries can sustain their differential accumulation only by investing outside their own borders. Capital mobility, though, requires political-economic stability, hence the support of these groups for democracy in South Africa and to regional reconciliation in Israel.

אחרי שנים רבות הגיע הניצחון הגדול. המשק השתחרר מידם העריצה של הפוליטיקאים והפקידים. סוף סוף ניתן לחיות בארץ הזאת. כוחות השוק החופשיים מנצחים בכל מקום.
מי הם כוחות השוק החופשיים הללו? מי הם המנצחים החדשים? האמנם חדשים הם? ומהו סוד נצחונם? תשובות על שאלות אלה הן נושאו המרכזי של הספר. זה הסיפור על התגבשותו של המעמד השליט בישראל.
החברה הישראלית עברה שינוי עמוק בעשור האחרון. ממשטר של כלכלת מלחמה מתמדת, נעה ישראל לעבר 'כלכלת-שוק' ו'דמוקרטיה ליברלית', משטר המוכתב על ידי סדר עולמי חדש. הספר מבהיר את השינוי החד הזה בדרך חדשה ולא מקובלת.
הספר מתמקד בקפיטליזם הישראלי שכבר מתחילת דרכו היה משולב בהתפתחות הקפיטליסטית בעולם. בהתפתחות זאת היו שלבים שונים, ובהם נשענו קבוצות ההון הדומיננטיות על רווחי מלחמה, ובשלבים אחרים על 'שלום של שווקים'.
הספר מציג ראייה אלטרנטיבית למדעי החברה הקונבנציונליים בישראל. הוא מביא תמונה שלמה של תופעות הנחשבות על פי המוסכמה נפרדוֹת ומפוצלות להתמחויות ול'דיסציפלינות' שונות. כאן מוצגים באור חדש תהליכי הריכוזיות במשק, התגבשות אליטת הכוח, עלייתה ושקיעתה של האינפלציה, התפתחות המיליטריזם והמלחמות המחזוריות במזרח-התיכון, יחסי ישראל-ארה"ב, צמיחת 'התחרות' וה'היי-טק' ושקיעת 'המשטר הישן' בישראל.
מחברי הספר הם יהונתן ניצן ושמשון ביכלר, מרצים לכלכלה-פוליטית באוניברסיטאות בקנדה ובישראל

Since the late 1980s, Israel has been undergoing a profound transformation, characterized by reconciliation with its Arab neighbours and attempts to reintegrate into the regional economy, a transition from a militarized economy to open markets, and a decline of the collectivist ethos in favour of liberalism and free enterprise. This transition, we argue, is part of a world-wide shift from the 'depth' to 'breadth' of accumulation and the parallel globalization of ownership. In order to survive, the large Israeli corporations must substitute outward expansion for the old protectionism of a militarized economy, and give up domestic control in return for global alliances.

It is hard these days to open a newspaper or watch television without coming across a debate about capitalism. “Globalization,” “imperialism,” and “neoliberalism” have become household words. Experts preach the gospel of productivity, while anti-globalization protestors blame the IMF and transnational companies for much of our social ills. Some view economic growth as a magic bullet, for others it spells ecological disaster. Many interpret the new wars of the twenty first century as serving “economic” interests and the rise of Islamic fundamentalism as a backlash against western “liberalism.” For some capitalism means the “end of history,” for others a source of conflict and an engine of change. No aspect of capitalism seems to escape controversy.
In this context, it is surprising to find little or no debate on the concept which matters the most: capital itself. Capital is the central institution of capitalism and yet we do not have a satisfactory theory to explain it. As it turns out, we do not know precisely what capital is. This omission is crucial. Without a clear definition of capital we cannot fully understand how it works and why. Until we understand capital we are destined to misunderstand our society, misjudge its alternatives and fail to imagine a better future. In order to debate capitalism we first need to debate capital. This book offers a new way to do so. The secret to understanding capital, we argue, lies not in the narrow confines of production but in the broader processes and institutions of power. Capital, we claim, is neither a material object, nor a social relationship embedded in material entities, but rather a symbolic representation of power.

FROM THE BACK COVER:
Over the past century, Israel has been transformed from an agricultural colony, to a welfare-warfare state, to a globally integrated “market economy” characterised by great income disparities. What lies behind this transformation? Why the shift in emphasis from “war profits” to “peace dividends” – and back to conflict? How did egalitarianism give rise to inequality? Who are the big winners here, and how have they shaped their world? Never before have these questions been answered as they are in this highly original book. In order to understand capitalist development, argue Bichler and Nitzan, we need to break the artificial separation between “economics” and “politics”, and think of accumulation itself as “capitalisation of power”. Applying this concept to Israel, and drawing on seemingly unrelated phenomena, the authors reveal the big picture that never makes it to the news. Diverse processes – such as global accumulation cycles, regional conflicts and energy crises, ruling class formation and dominant ideology, militarism and dependency, inflation and recession, the politics of high-technology and the transnationalisation of ownership – are all woven into a single story. The result is a fascinating account of one of the world”s most volatile regions, and a new way of understanding the global political economy.

Existing theories of capital, neo-classical as well as Marxist, are anchored in the material sphere of production and consumption. This article offers a new analytical framework for capital as a crystallization of power. The relative nature of power requires accumulation to be measured in differential, not absolute, terms. For absentee owners, the main goal is not to maximize pro.ts, but rather to “beat the average” and exceed the “normal rate of return”. The theoretical framework builds on Thorstein Veblen’s separation of industry from business and on Lewis Mumford’s dichotomy between democratic and authoritarian techniques. Extending their contributions, we argue that capital is a business, not an industrial category, a human mega-machine rather than a material artefact. Indeed, it is the social essence of capital which makes accumulation possible in the .rst place. Capital measures the present value of future business earnings, and these depend not on the productivity of industry as such, but on the ability of absentee owners strategically to limit such productivity to their own differential ends. Introducing the twin concepts of the “differential power of capital” (DPK) and the rate of “differential accumulation” (DA), we examine the non-linear and possibly negative link between industrial growth and accumulation in the USA.

This is the second in a series of two articles looking into the interaction between differential capital accumulation and Middle East “energy conflicts.” Examining the historical record since the late 1960s, we find US policies to have been increasingly consistent with the coinciding differential interests of a Weapondollar-Petrodollar coalition of large defence contractors and oil companies. Contrary to aggregate views which emphasize the “national interest” or the broad imperatives of capital accumulation – but in line with the differential interests of these companies – US policies in the region seem to have contributed toward greater instability, imposed limits on the free flow of oil and led to higher unstable prices. Most significantly, every “energy conflict” since the late 1960s was preceded by adverse drops in the differential rate of the large oil companies, which then promptly removed in the wake of the ensuing crisis. While the US government was officially seeking regional conciliation, it passively or actively endorsed each one of these conflicts. The current peace drive between Israel and its Arab neighbours is overshadowed by negative differential profits for the oil companies and depressed weapon sales for the arms contractors. Left unresolved, these predicaments could eventually culminate in a new “energy conflict.”

This paper offers a new approach to the political economy of armament, focusing on the relationship between military spending and differential accumulation in mature capitalist economies. Applied to the “model” case of Israel, our analysis suggests that the militarization of Israel’s economy since the late 1960s occurred within a growing dichotomy between large and small firms. The econometric model shows that the “military-bias” of Israeli industry raised the profits of the large corporate conglomerates but constrained and even lowered those of smaller companies.

This paper offers an alternative approach to the repeated occurrence of Middle East “energy conflicts.” Our analysis centres around the process of differential capital accumulation, emphasizing the quest to exceed the “normal rate of return” and to expands one's share in the overall flow of profit. With the evolution of modern capitalism, the dictates of differential accumulation become an ever stronger unifying force, drawing both state managers and corporate executives into increasingly inextricable power driven alliances.
The Middle East drama of oil and arms since the 1970s has been greatly affected by this process. On the one hand, rising nationalism and intensified industry competition during the 1950s and 1960s forced the major oil companies toward a greater cooperation with the OPEC countries. The success of this alliance was contingent on the new atmosphere of “scarcity” and oil crisis, which was in turn dependent on the progressive militarization of the Middle East. On the other side of the oil arms equation stood the large U.S. and European based military contractors which, faced with heightened global competition in civilian markets and limited defense contracts at home, increased their reliance on arms exports to oil rich countries.
Over the past quarter century, the progressive politicization of the oil business, together with the growing commercialization of arms transfers helped shape an uneasy Weapondollar Petrodollar Coalition between the principal military contractors and petroleum companies. As their environment became intertwined with the broader political realignment of OPEC and the industrial countries, the differential profits of these companies grew evermore dependent on the precarious interaction between rising oil prices and expanding arms exports emanating from successive Middle East “energy conflicts.” At the same time, these companies were not passive bystanders. This is suggested firstly by the very close correlation existing between their arms deliveries to the Middle East and the region's oil revenues and, secondly, by the fact that every single “energy conflict” since the 1967 Arab Israeli War could have been predicted solely by adverse setbacks to the differential profit performance of the large oil companies!

It is popular these days to talk about the "discontent" of neoliberal globalization. This "discontent" is no longer the prerogative of intellectuals. Increasingly, it comes from below, with opposition from the grassroots. But there may be another type of discontent lurking behind the scenes. This other discontent comes from above. It is the discontent of the ruling class. In our opinion, the world may have reached a historical junction in which a significant part of the global ruling class has become discontented with neoliberalism. The purpose of this presentation is threefold: (1) to explain why the world’s dominant capital groups have become discontented with neoliberal globalization; (2) to speculate on what may replace neoliberal globalization; and (3) to link this transition in the nature of accumulation to the new wars.

This chapter outlines the main problems of capital theory, key issues which need to be resolved, and the way in which an alternative concept of capital may affect the future evolution of IPE. Briefly, existing theories of capital can be classified into three groups, based on their relationship to production. The neoclassical paradigm makes output a function of factor inputs (the amount of the different factors of production – labour, raw materials and capital goods – used to produce that output). Capital, perceived as one of these factors, is counted in its own technical units. Marxists view production as a socio-material transformation in which capital changes its skin from money, to commodities, to more money. The engine of this transformation is the labour process, in which living labour power is converted into “dead labour” embedded in commodities. Capital, growing directly from this process, is measured in labour time. For the institutionalists, production is a complex societal process, whose qualitative intricacies cannot be easily deciphered, let alone quantified. In this latter framework, capital is neither a productive input nor a material output, but rather a symbolic pecuniary crystallization of the power controlling the process. Seen in that way, capital can be measured only in differential terms, relative to other capitals. Conceptually, neoclassical and Marxist theories are built from the bottom up, deriving accumulation from the underlying process of production. The institutionalist view, on the other hand, is constructed from the top down, with production subjugated to accumulation. The troubled history of capital theory suggests that bottom-up explanations are logically vulnerable if not impossible. The top-down view, although largely unexplored, is unlikely to face the same problems. Indeed, by focusing directly on power and on the way it shapes societal reproduction, this route not only bypasses the intractable “input-output structure” of industry, but also offers a way of integrating politics into our very conceptualization of capital.

The flaring up of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict in the early 2000s caught most experts by surprise. The 1990s euphoria of the Oslo ‘peace process’ suddenly dissipated, replaced by a second intifada; the newspeak of ‘peace dividends’ gave way to debates about ‘imperialism’; and instead of ‘global villageism’ there is now much talk about the ‘war on terrorism.’
Interestingly, most analysts, popular as well as academic, seem to view this dramatic change largely as a ‘chance occurrence.’ In a world dominated by postmodern ‘narrative’ and ‘discourse,’ nothing is truly ‘real’ – or alternatively, the only ‘reality’ is what we see on television and read in the newspapers. According to the media, the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, like all conflicts, is a matter of ethnicity, religion and culture, and these sentiments have their ups and downs. The prime agitators of such sentiments are ‘leaders’ of various kinds – state officials, army generals, spiritual figures and religious icons – whose clashing urges produce different outcomes. In the present conjunction, the shift from peace to war was triggered by Israel’s far right, which, led by Benjamin Netanyahu and Ariel Sharon, decided to derail the fragile Oslo Accord in order to continue the settlement of Greater Israel.
Unfortunately, so far there has been little attempt to go beyond these immediate appearances. History certainly is open-ended, but it is not random. And while ethnicity, religion and culture are real features of our capitalist world, they cannot adequately explain its development. Israel is a capitalist country in a capitalist world, and therefore its history – including its conflict with the Palestinians – needs to be situated within the broader processes of capitalist development, local and global. Focusing on the 1990s, the purpose of this paper is to identify several key developments in global capitalism, examine how these processes altered the political economy of Israel and speculate on what they may mean for the future.

The purpose of this article is to offer an alternative analytical framework for understanding the long term transformation in Israel. First, we argue against the conventional separation between the “political system” and the “economic system.” This separationist approach has been popular among Israeli scholars but its analytical value is open to doubt. Second, instead of the comment aggregate/statist approach, we take the disaggregate route of political economy, accentuating the historical role played by key power groups. And, finally, rather than focus merely on domestic considerations, we claim that both the earlier military economy and the current trajectory into “peace markets” are part of a broader global developments, particularly the internationalization of business institutions and the changing nature of the capitalist nation-state. In our opinion, the sharp “U-turn” in Israeli history is intimately linked to the changing nature of capital accumulation and corporate concentration, both in Israel and in the United States. For the large core firms at the centre of the economy, which we view as principal actors in this process, accumulation and concentration are two sides of the same process. With the evolution of modern capitalism, the leading firms are increasingly driven not to maximize their profits but rather to “beat the average.” Specifically, they seek to achieve a “differential rate of accumulation” – that is, to exceed the average rate of return in the economy. However, since a differential growth in profits implies control over a growing share of the aggregate capitalized assets, for these firms the goal of accumulation means a quest for rising corporate concentration.

The course examines the global political economy as it developed since the end of Second World War. The first half of the course deals with the general themes of power and production, order and disorder, global finance, international trade and the transnational corporation. Building on these themes, the second half of the course explores various facets of capitalist expansion and crisis, including North-South relationships, development and underdevelopment, the impact of financial flows, the transition from socialism, and the future of the global political economy.

Why should political science students be concerned with money, financial instruments and international capital movements? The standard interdisciplinary answer is that finance and politics “affect” one another. For instance, governments have to pay close attention to the stocks and bond markets, whereas investors depend on political and legal conditions; economic performance and class positions are influenced by, and in turn bear on interest rates and asset values; and international interdependence is further complicated by cross-boarder capital movements. The seminar deals with such connections but also goes beyond them, seeking to understand finance itself as a dominant form of politics.
Discussion is organized around several key themes, including: (1) Concepts and Building Blocks: What are financial markets, who are the key players and why are they there? (2) The Alchemy of Finance: How do financial markets work? What different theories and ideologies are used to explain, justify and criticize the functioning of modern finance? How is finance a form of “governance”? Who is being governed, by whom and to what end? (3) The Globalization of Finance: What is capital flow and how is it related to ownership and power? What is the connection between the power of capital, state sovereignty and international monetary stability? How have their relationships changed over time? (4) Political Economy of Global Finance: Is international finance a precondition for prosperity, or is it a “fictitious” bubble, de-linked from the underlying “real” political economy and hence a source of global instability? What types of international financial architectures are possible, and what do they imply for the political economy of power and well being, locally as well as globally?

What is capital? Is it a material thing or social relation? What is political about it and how does it relate to power? What is the role of capital in the broader international political economy? The seminar examines such questions, both theoretically and historically. The first part deals with basic conceptions of capital, emphasizing the interaction between productivity and power, and examining how this interaction affected the evolution of transnational corporations. The second part looks at the changing relationship of business enterprise and states, illustrated for example by the three-way interplay between petroleum and armament firms, superpower confrontation, and Middle-East ‘energy conflicts.’ The third part focuses on the globalization of ownership and its domestic ramifications. Particular emphasis is put on the links between capital mobility and social transformation, such as the (re)capitalization of Russia, the Asian crisis and the changing ‘Asian model’, and the dramatic U-turns from ethnic conflict to transnational liberalism in South Africa and Israel.

Does capitalism require peace and stability? Is armed conflict alien to markets? Do capitalists suffer from militarism and war? With the cold war over and liberalism being triumphant, many believe the answer is yes. Capitalism, so it seems, thrives on, and therefore promotes peace and stability. This view, though, stands in sharp contrast to the history of capitalism. In fact, over the past several centuries, the expansion of markets and capitalism was accompanied by an exponential increase, not decrease, in armed conflict and militarism. Have we now passed the peak of this process? Is the end of the cold war the beginning of true ‘capitalist peace’? Are ‘peace dividends’ here to stay? Perhaps. But it is also possible that conflict and militarism are not antithetical to capitalism, and that under certain circumstances, they may even be essential for its survival.
The seminar tackles these questions within a broader analysis of capitalist development, focusing primarily (though not exclusively) on the twentieth century. Drawing on various examples from around the world, it covers issues such as the connection between capitalism and war, political economy of military spending, socio-political aspects of militarism and institutionalized waste, peace and war as phases of accumulation, militarization and ruling-class formation, and the international political economy of the arms trade.
Views on these issues can be delineated along ideological lines. Mainstream approaches, geared primarily toward prediction and decision making, tend to follow the realist framework, separating economics from politics and accentuating the significance of formal structures and state officials. Critical theories of political economy, on the other hand, view the tension between markets on the one hand, and conflict and militarism on the other, as part of wider social context. The seminar traces the evolution of such theories from the early Marxist and institutionalist writings, through the post-war emergence of the Monopoly Capital school and Military Keynesianism, to research on the Military Industrial Complex and ‘peace dividends.’ The globalization of military industries, the arms trade and prospects for disarmament are assessed in light of theoretical debates.

At the dawn of the 21st century, more and more people realize that ‘economics’ and ‘politics’ are intimately related. And yet, these two aspects of social existence are usually studied as separate ‘disciplines,’ each with its own categories, language, and theories. Can this departmentalization be overcome? Should it? And if so, how? The seminar deals with these questions by critically examining major themes of political economy. Topics are divided into three major categories: (1) elements; (2) aggregates; and (3) global formations. In the first part, students examine closely the origin and implications of concepts such as supply and demand, equilibrium, utility and productivity, market organization, and the role of power. Part two, focusing on aggregates, covers the issues of national accounting, theories of prosperity and crisis, money and finance, economic policy, as well as ‘anomalies’ such as stagflation. The third part, dealing with global formations, examines trade, capital flows and exchange rates, imperialism, and different aspects of globalization. Throughout the seminar, the emphasis is not only on the ‘how,’ but also on the ‘why.’ Where have the concepts and theories come from? Why have they risen to prominence, and what brought them down? Who benefited from them and who paid the price? Do they help us understand the world, or do they serve to conceal it? In these explorations, special emphasis is put on methodology, as well as the importance of empirical/historical analysis.

What is capital? Is capital the same as machines, or is it merely a financial asset? Is it material or social? Is it static or dynamic? Surprisingly, these questions have no clear answers. The form of capital, its existence as monetary wealth, is hardly in doubt. The problem is with the content, the ‘stuff’ which makes capital grow, and on this there is no agreement whatsoever. For example, does capital accumulate because it is ‘productive,’ or due to the exploitation of workers? Does capital expand ‘on its own,’ or does it need non-capitalist institutions such as the state? Can capital grow by undermining production and efficiency? What exactly is being accumulated? Does the value of capital represent a tangible ‘thing,’ ‘dead labour’ or perhaps something totally different? What units should we use to measure its accumulation?

Over the past three years, we have published several articles where we made a series of very ‘contrarian’ predictions on the new wars. Specifically, we claimed: (1) That direct U.S. intervention will conveniently if not intentionally ‘fail’ to stabilize the Middle East; (2) That the new wars will make oil not plenty and cheap, but scarce and expensive; (3) That the leading oil companies will profit greatly from the new environment of heightened instability and soaring oil prices; (4) That rising oil prices are likely to fuel global stagflation (stagnation together with inflation); and, (5) That the shift toward stagflation – should it occur – would not hinder accumulation but rather boost it, particularly for the largest corporate coalitions. When these claims were first made, they were greeted with a mixture of indifference and hostility. The conventional ‘postisms’ of ethnicity, race and culture pays little attention to capital accumulation, oil prices or inflation, and none at all to their analysis. By contrast, analysts of politics and economics deal extensively with such questions – but to them our arguments sounded like conspiratorial nonsense. As it turns out, the pundits got it wrong.

Conflict and instability in the Middle East -- which elements of the US capitalist class thrive on it? Is the US invasion of Iraq an effort to secure cheap, free-flowing oil? Political economist Jonathan Nitzan offers surprising answers, and in the process illuminates the power dynamics underlying current trends in capitalism.

The conflict in Israel – Palestine will not be settled in the streets of Nablus and the shacks of the Jenin Refugee Camp. The real war lays elsewhere, in the boardrooms of the multinationals where the vanguard of the arms and oil industries are leading a resurgence against the forces of the new global capital.

The conflict in Israel – Palestine will not be settled in the streets of Nablus and the shacks of the Jenin Refugee Camp. The real war lays elsewhere, in the boardrooms of the multinationals where the vanguard of the arms and oil industries are leading a resurgence against the forces of the new global capital.

Over the past year, the slowdown of the Israeli economy has heated the debate between the “Keynesian” industrialists and their “monetarists” foes at the central bank – one arguing for looser monetary policy, the other for a tighter one. As it turns out, both sides insist on ignoring far more fundamental issues: demographics and the peace process.

What is capital? Is capital the same as machines, or is it merely a financial asset? Is it ‘material’ or ‘social’? Is it static or dynamic? Surprisingly, these questions have no clear answers. The form of capital, its existence as monetary wealth, is hardly in doubt. The problem is with the content, the ‘stuff’ which makes capital grow, and on this aspect of capital there is no agreement whatsoever. For example, does capital accumulate because it is ‘productive,’ or due to the ‘exploitation’ of workers? Does capital expand ‘on its own,’ or does it need ‘external’ institutions such as the state? Can capital grow by undermining production and efficiency? What exactly is being accumulated? Does the value of capital represent a tangible ‘thing,’ ‘utils,’ ‘dead labour’ or perhaps something totally different? What units should we use to measure its accumulation?
The course offers a critical examination of the concept of capital, the process of capital accumulation, and the broader implications of capital accumulation for understanding how capitalism works. The first lecture provides an overview of political economy. The next two lectures outline the two existing approaches to capital: the utility-based neoclassical view and the labour-based Marxist perspective. The last four lectures present an alternative power-based approach to capital.

The unravelling of the Middle-East peace process continues to baffle the pundits. The early optimism of the Oslo peace accord has now turned into despair. Prime minister Rabin was assassinated by a Jewish extremist. The Palestinians have embarked on a new Intifada. And Israel has re-occupied much of the West Bank. What brought this reversal? How deep are the fractures? Can they be healed?.

The terror attacks, the invasion of Afghanistan, the re-occupation of the Palestinian territories, the tensions in central Asian, the threats against the “axis of evil” and the planned attack on Iraq, together herald the coming of a new era, an era of capital accumulation through conflict and crisis.

The conflict in Israel – Palestine will not be settled in the streets of Nablus and the shacks of the Jenin Refugee Camp. The real war lays elsewhere, in the boardrooms of the multinationals where the vanguard of the arms and oil industries are leading a resurgence against the forces of the new global capital.

יש להניח ש'המלחמה המתמדת בטרור' רק החלה. המלחמה תגרום לגידול בהוצאות הביטחוניות ותשקיע את העולם המתועש בסטגפלציה. היא תשרת את ההון הדומיננטי בעולם, אבל בעיקר, המלחמה תעלה את הרווח של קבוצות הנפט המרכזיות ושל קואליצית הנפט-פיננסים-נשק שסובבת את בוש.

המאמר נכתב ב- 1997 בעיצומו של הויכוח הממוחזר בין האוצר ובנק ישראל על שער הריבית. המאמר נשלח להארץ שנחשב באותה תקופה ל'מתקדם' ביותר בתמיכת עסקי השלום, ההייטק והגלובליזציה. למרות אופיו הנבואי, או דווקא משום כך, המאמר נדחה על ידי שטרסלר, העורך הכלכלי דאז. רק ב1999- הסכים הירחון מצד שני לפרסם את המאמר.

This article was commissioned by the French newspaper Le Monde. The newspaper was one of several sponsors of an International Conference on Global Regulation, held at the University of Sussex on May 29-31, 2003, where we presented a plenary paper. As part of its sponsorship, Le Monde agreed to publish two articles reflecting the spirit of the conference. The first of these articles, written by four of the conference organizers, was published prior to the conference. After the conference, the organizers asked the two of us to submit a second, short article highlighting the gist of our presentation. This article is enclosed below. The paper was sent by the organizers to Le Monde’s Editor in Chief, Serge Marti. Many phone calls followed. In each call, Mr. Marti promised to publish the paper promptly. He never did.

מאז ה-11 בספטמבר 2001, נעלם 'הסדר העולמי החדש' של שנות התשעים ואיתו נעלמים זן שלם של מושגים והסברים 'פוסט-מודרניסטיים ורב תרבותיים. 'הביטחון הלאומי' מזמן המלחמה הקרה חוזר לשלוט בכיפת השיח הבינלאומי. האם מדובר בהערכות מדינית של המעצמות שנועדה לפלס דרך להמשך התהליך של 'הגלובליזציה' הכלכלית? ואולי מדובר בשינוי מהותי ביחסי הכוח שמניעים את המשטר הקפיטליסטי, כלומר בתוך הקבוצות הדומיננטיות ששולטות בעולם?

이 연재는 9.11 특히 미국의 이라크 침략 이후 세계 정치 경제는 어디로 가는가라는 질문을 중심으로 닛잔과 비클러의 주장과 이론을 재구성 한 것이다. 기왕에 한국어로 번역된 [권력 자본론](Capital as Power)이 닛잔과 비클러의 이론을 설명한 것이었다고 한다면, 이 연재는 그 이론에 기반하여 차등화 축적이 이루어지는 현실의 사례들, 미국의 군수-석유 자본의 행태와 중동의 군사 위기, 초국적 인수 합병의 붐과 지구화의 관계 등등이 상세히 논의되고 있다. 원래 이론을 다루는 [권력 자본론]의 자매편으로 기획되었으며, 곧 책으로 묶여 출판될 계획이기도 하다. 비전문가도 쉽게 읽을 수 있도록 저널리즘의 에세이 형식으로 쓰여져 [권력 자본론]보다 쉽게 닛잔과 비클러의 이론에 접할 수 있는 입문서로도 쓸 수 있다.

ג'ק לונדון נחשב כיום לסופר של בני נעורים. הוא ידוע בעיקר לקורא העברי מספרי ההרפתקאות שבהם תיאר את הצפון הרחוק, ואת מאבקם של גיבוריו, בני אדם וחיות, בטבע האכזרי ובסביבה הקשוחה. אולי התמימות והפשטות הנערית שממלאים את סיפורי ג'ק לונדון, הם שמקסימים מזה כמאה שנה דורות חדשים של קוראים, אולם יש לאמר שבזמן כתיבתם לא נחשבו הסיפורים נאיביים, וג'ק לונדון היה רחוק מלהיות סופר לילדים
מעטים יודעים כי ג'ק לונדון היה בזמנו סופר של רבי-מכר, שנקרא בלהיטות בעיקר על ידי 'מבוגרים', ושעיקר פרסומו בא לו דווקא מכתיבתו הפוליטית הקשוחה. יתר על כן, ג'ק לונדון היה בעשור הראשון של המאה-העשרים הסופר הנקרא ביותר בארה"ב, ואולי הפורה ביותר בכל הזמנים. בחייו הספרותיים הקצרים, שארכו כחמש-עשרה שנים, הוא הצליח להפיק מעצמו כעשרים ספרים, כמאתיים סיפורים וכארבע-מאות מאמרים; כל זאת, לצד חיים סוערים שכללו פעילות פוליטית ערה, פולמוסים ציבוריים, שעשועים, מסעות, אהבות מתוקשרות, גירושים שערוריתיים, הרפתקאות עסקיות, וניסויים מוזרים בחקלאות
כבר בעת כתיבתו של הספר, היה ברור לג'ק כי עקב הברזל ייגנז בתירוצים שונים ומשונים. ממכתבים לחבריו עולה כי למעשה הוא חיברו מתוך חשש שזה עלול להיות ספרו האחרון... למעשה עקב הברזל הוא סיפור חייו של ג'ק לונדון. הוא תיאור התנסותו החברתית, התבגרותו הספרותית, והשכלתו הפוליטית. אילו היינו נאלצים להגדירו, היינו אומרים שהספר הוא 'אגדה אוטוביוגרפית שנכתבה עבור מעמד הפועלים'

בספטמבר 2001 יצא הספר 'מרווחי מלחמה לדיבידנדים של שלום'. בהוצאת כרמל בירושלים. בגרסתו הראשונה הוא נכתב בשנת 1995. זאת גם הייתה השנה שעד אליה נאספו רוב הנתונים ונוסחו מרבית ההיפותזות. מאז עברו כמעט עשור שנים שבמרוצתן נבעו סדקים בחזית האופורית של 'הכלכלה-החדשה' ובסופן פרצה מלחמת המפרץ השנייה. הגיע העת לבחון מחדש את התיאוריות, את ההיפותזות ואת התחזיות שהועלו בספר
אחת ההמצאות החשובות שהוצגו בספר, בחנה, בין השאר, את פריצת המלחמות במזרח-התיכון במחצית השנייה של המאה העשרים לאור תהליך ההצבר הקפיטליסטי. היא נוסחה בדרך שמעמידה למבחן חד ביותר את כלל תמונת העולם החדשה שהצגנו. היא לא הסתתרה מאחורי סיסמאות תרבות וכרזות של הגזע ולא מאחורי ניסוחים אקדמיים פסבדו-מדעיים. בנספח זה אנו חוזרים ובוחנים את תקפותה לאור המאורעות של שנות אלפיים. השאלה הברורה היא: האם הקונפליקטים של תחילת המאה העשרים-ואחת הן התנגשות של ציביליזציות או חלק משינוי באופי הצבר ההון העולמי

Over the past century, the institution of 'capital' and the process of its 'accumulation' have been fundamentally transformed. By contrast, the theories that explain this institution and process have remained largely unchanged. The purpose of this mimeograph is to address this mismatch. Using a broad brush, we outline a new, power theory of capital and accumulation. We use this theory to assess the changing meaning of the corporation and the capitalist state, the new ways in which capital gets accumulated and the specific historical trajectory of twentieth-century capitalism up to the present.

Since the late 1980s, Israel has been undergoing a profound transformation, characterized by reconciliation with its Arab neighbours and attempts to reintegrate into the regional economy, a transition from a militarized economy to open markets, and a decline of the collectivist ethos in favour of liberalism and free enterprise. This transition, we argue, is part of a world-wide shift from the 'depth' to 'breadth' of accumulation and the parallel globalization of ownership. In order to survive, the large Israeli corporations must substitute outward expansion for the old protectionism of a militarized economy, and give up domestic control in return for global alliances.

1. Macroeconomic Perspectives on Inflation and Unemployment (46 pages)
The present paper is the first in a series of three essays in which we examine the macroeconomic and structural approaches to inflation. In this paper we explore some of the key contributions to the macroeconomic literature which appeared since the late 1950s. Much of this literature evolved in a dual love hate relationship with the Phillips Curve. Scholars who endorsed the Phillips Curve on the basis of historical evidence were surprised when it started to crumble as soon as they assimilated it into their macroeconomic models. The gradual emergence of stagflation and the progressive breakdown of the Phillips Curve presented mainstream macroeconomics with the most serious challenge since the Second World War. Macroeconomists attacked the Phillips Curve but their criticisms sought to modify, not nullify. The idea that inflation and unemployment were inversely related was apparently too significant to discard so the notional relationship was simply ‘augmented’ by auxiliary factors. The cost of saving the Phillips Curve was substantial. To explain stagflation, macroeconomists resorted to 'disequilibria,' ‘rigidities’ and ‘exogenous shocks’ and they abandoned, at least temporarily, the ideal formulation of the neoclassical synthesis.
2. Price Behaviour and Business Behaviour (33 pages)
The present essay is the second in a series of three papers which examine alternative approaches to inflation. Here we identify some of the principal criticisms expressed against neoclassical views on price behaviour and business behaviour. These challenges grew from the early discovery of ‘administered prices’ by Means and the subsequent findings by Hall and Hitch regarding ‘full cost’ pricing. The notions that industrial prices were relatively inflexible and that businessmen set those prices by imprecise rules of thumb stood in sharp contrast to the pristine simplicity of neoclassical models. Yet these attempts for greater realism seemed to undermine the prospects of constructing a coherent theory for prices.
3. Inflation and Market Structure (59 pages)
This is the third in a series of three essays which explore modern theories for inflation. Here we examine theories that reject the universal validity of perfect competition and link inflation with alternative, more realistic structures and institutions. In contrast to macroeconomic theories which emphasize ‘excess demand’ and growth inflation, structural theories relate primarily to stagflation. While most macroeconomists share a common belief in the ideal type of ‘profit maximization,’ structural theorists differ widely in their views on what motivates economic actors. The multiplicity of motivational assumptions lead different theorists toward distinct explanations for inflation. With their greater sensitivity toward real institutions, these theories offers important insights into the process of modern inflation. The structural literature, is, nevertheless limited by some of its methodological foundations.

This is the third in a series of three essays which explore modern theories for inflation. Here we examine theories that reject the universal validity of perfect competition and link inflation with alternative, more realistic structures and institutions. In contrast to macroeconomic theories which emphasize ‘excess demand’ and growth inflation, structural theories relate primarily to stagflation. While most macroeconomists share a common belief in the ideal type of ‘profit maximization,’ structural theorists differ widely in their views on what motivates economic actors. The multiplicity of motivational assumptions lead different theorists toward distinct explanations for inflation. With their greater sensitivity toward real institutions, these theories offers important insights into the process of modern inflation. The structural literature, is, nevertheless limited by some of its methodological foundations.

The chapter offers a new approach for analysing capitalist development and crisis, tying together mergers and acquisitions, stagflation and globalization as integral facets of accumulation. The framework builds on the concept of differential accumulation, emphasizing the power drive by dominant capital groups to beat the average and exceed the normal rate of return. Four regimes of differential accumulation are articulated: internal breadth by amalgamation, external breadth through green-field investment, internal depth via cost-cutting, and external depth through stagflation. The complex relationships between these different regimes, as well as their broader societal implications, are analysed in light of the US experience over the past century. Several broad conclusions emerge. (1) Of the four regimes, the most important are amalgamation and stagflation, which tend to oscillate inversely to each other. (2) Over the longer haul, amalgamation grows exponentially relative to green-field investment, contributing to the stagnation tendency of modern capitalism. (3) The wave-like pattern of mergers and acquisitions reflects the progressive break-up of socioeconomic ‘envelopes’, as dominant capital moves through successive amalgamation at the industry, sectoral, national, and, finally, global level. In this sense, the current global merger wave is an integral facet of differential accumulation. (4) Periodic lulls in amalgamation tend to be compensated for by stagflation, which appears as a crisis at the societal level, but which contributes significantly to differential accumulation at the disaggregate level. An end to the present worldwide merger boom could therefore trigger global stagflation. (5) Stagflation crises have been previously 'resolved' when dominant capital broke its existing envelope, pushing to amalgamate within a broader universe of takeover targets. Given that there is nothing more to conquer beyond the global envelope, future stagflation crises may prove much more difficult to tame.

This essay deals with the relationship between stagflation and the process of restructuring. The literature dealing with the interaction of stagnation and inflation is invariably based on some explicit or implicit assumptions about economic structure, but there are very few writings which concentrate specifically on the link between the macroeconomic phenomenon of stagflation and the process of structural change. Of the few who dealt with this issue, we have chosen to focus mainly on two important contributors – Mancur Olson and Thorstein Veblen. The first based his theory on neoclassical principles, attempting to demonstrate their universality across time and place. The second was influenced by the historical school and concentrated specifically on the institutional features of modern capitalism. Despite the fundamental differences in their respective frameworks, both writers arrive at a similar conclusion, namely, that the phenomenon of stagflation is inherent in the dynamic evolution of collective economic action, particularly in the rise and consolidation of 'distributional coalitions.'

FROM THE BACK COVER:
אתם קמים בבוקר, שותים את הקפה של מושביץ, עם לחמניה של אנג'ל ונוסעים לעבודה במכונית שייבא קרסו. במישרד אתם מסירים את המיקטורן שיצר פולק, מטלפנים לבנק של רקאנטי ונותנים הוראה לקנות מניה של אייזנברג. בארוחת-הצהריים אתם אוכלים פסטה של פרופר עם בשר שייבא גיטר, שותים משקה קל של בורנשטיין ומקנחים בגלידה של שטראוס. כשאתם חוזרים לבית שבנה רובינשטיין אתם נזכרים ששכחתם, לעזאזל, להזמין סוף-שבוע במלון של שיף. ארוחת הערב שלכם מורכבת מדגים של מרידור. אחריה אתם מפעילים את הטלוויזיה של ברנשטיין וגורודצקי, ולא שוכחים לבלוע את התרופה של הורביץ. עיניכם נעצמות לאיטן, ובחלומכם אתם רואים ערימות של רוטשילדים
הספר הזה הוא סיפורם של המישפחות והאנשים האלה, שמאכילים ומשקים אתכם, מסיעים ומלבישים אתכם, מעניקים לכם שירותים ואשליות, וגובים את רווחיהם מכל תנועה שאתם עושים. הדרך שבה הם עושים את הונם אינה רק עניינם-שלהם. זהו בעיקר עניינכם-שלכם. זהו הסיפור של המישפחות ושל האנשים האלה כמות שהם, ללא כחל-וסרק. כשתסיימו את קריאתו תהיו אולי חכמים יותר, נזעמים יותר, ובוודאי חסרי אשליות
לכתיבת הספר חברו שניים
שלמה פרנקל (36) שהיה סבל בנמל, פועל חרושת, פקיד, מוזג בבַּאר, עורך עיתון סטודנטים, מזכיר פרלמנטרי, ולאחרונה – כתב של העולם הזה
שמשון ביכלר (36) שהיה פועל בניין וסוחר ירקות, סטודנט, מובטל, סוחר אמנות, בעל מיסעדה ופקיד ממשלה, ועתה הוא כלכלן-חוקר
כדי לכתוב ספר זה קראו השניים מאות-אלפי גזרי עיתונים, עשרות ספרי זיכרונות וביוגרפיות, וערכו מאות ראיונות ושיחות רבות-מספור. מן החומר העצום שנאסף אפשר היה לכתוב עשרות ספרים, אך נכתב רק אחד: סיפורם של העשירים

What is capital? Is capital the same as machines, or is it merely a financial asset? Is it material or social? Is it static or dynamic? Surprisingly, these questions have no clear answers. The form of capital, its existence as monetary wealth, is hardly in doubt. The problem is with the content, the ‘stuff’ which makes capital grow, and on this issue there is no agreement whatsoever. For example, does capital accumulate because it is ‘productive,’ or due to the ‘exploitation’ of workers? Does capital expand ‘on its own,’ or does it need non-capitalist institutions such as the state? Can capital grow by undermining production and efficiency? What exactly is being accumulated? Does the value of capital represent a tangible ‘thing,’ ‘dead labour’ or perhaps something totally different? What units should we use to measure its accumulation? Despite centuries of debate, none of these questions has a clear answer. Yet they have to have answers. The accumulation of capital is the central process of capitalism, and unless we can clarify what that means, our theories remain ‘bagel theories,’ with a big hole in the middle.
The seminar examines such questions theoretically and historically. The first part explores basic conceptions of capital. It begins by studying three approaches to capital: one based on utility, a second based on labour value and a third based on power. The discussion then broadens to examine these three approaches in relation to technology, the corporation and the state. The second part of the seminar deals with transformations of capital. This part introduces the twin concepts of dominant capital and differential accumulation. Using these concepts, the seminar explores the historical processes of corporate mergers, globalization, stagflation, imperialism and the new wars of the twenty-first century.

What is capital? Is it a material thing or a social relation? What is political about it and how does it relate to power? What is the role of capital in the broader global political economy? The seminar examines such questions theoretically and historically. The first part explores basic conceptions of capital. It begins by studying three approaches to capital: one based on utility, a second based on labour value and a third based on power. The discussion then broadens to examine these three approaches in relation to technology, the corporation and the state. The second part of the seminar deals with transformations of capital. This part introduces the twin concepts of dominant capital and differential accumulation. Using these concepts, the seminar explores the historical processes of corporate mergers, globalization, stagflation, imperialism and the new wars of the twenty-first century.

What is ‘capitalism’ and how is it different from other social orders? How did capitalism develop? How does it function at different levels? What theories are used to explain capitalism, and how is it justified and critiqued by different ideologies? What are the roles of power, cooperation and incessant change in capitalism? This course examines such questions from the viewpoint of political economy. It begins by develop-ing the basic concepts of surplus and class, supply and demand, prices and profit, investment and capital accumulation. Using these basic concepts, the course proceeds to explore the nature of the corporation and business organization, the process of capitalist production, the role of inequality, the macro analysis of aggregate processes, government policies and the various ‘anomalies’ of political economy, such as stagflation and accumulation-through-crisis.

At the dawn of the 21st century, more and more people realize that ‘economics’ and ‘politics’ are intimately related. And yet, these two aspects of social existence are usually studied as separate ‘disciplines,’ each with its own categories language, and theories. Can this departmentalization be overcome? Should it? And if so, how?
The seminar deals with these questions by critically examining major themes of political economy. Topics are divided into two major categories: elements and aggregates. In the first part, the seminar examines the origins and implications of concepts such as supply and demand, equilibrium, utility and productivity, market organization, and the role of power. Part two, focusing on aggregates, covers the issues of national accounting, theories of prosperity and crisis, money and finance, economic policy, stagflation, welfare/warfare, and the global formations of trade, capital flows and currency regimes.
Throughout the seminar, the emphasis is not only on the ‘how,’ but also on the ‘why.’ Where have the concepts and theories come from? Why have they risen to prominence and what brought them down? Who benefited from them and who paid the price? Do they help us understand the world, or do they serve to conceal it? In these explorations, special emphasis is put on methodology, as well as the importance of empirical/historical analysis.

Prime Minister Rabin was assassinated by a Jewish extremist. The Palestinians have embarked on a new Intifada. Israel has re-occupied much of the West Bank. What brought this reversal? How deep are the fractures? Can they be healed?

Over the past century, the institution of capital and the process of its accumulation have been fundamentally transformed. By contrast, the theories that explain this institution and process have remained largely unchanged. The purpose of this paper is to address this mismatch. Using a broad brush, we outline a new, power theory of capital and accumulation. We use this theory to assess the changing meaning of the corporation and the capitalist state, the new ways in which capital gets accumulated and the specific historical trajectory of twentieth-century capitalism up to the present.

The thesis offers a new framework for inflation as a process of restructuring. Contrary to existing theories of inflation, which tend to take structure and institutions as given for the purpose of analysis, we argue that inflation could be understood only in terms of ongoing structural and institutional change. In the modern context of large-scale business enterprise, inflationary restructuring arises as an integral part of capital accumulation. On the aggregate level, inflation appears as stagflation, with the expansion of pecuniary values in the 'business' sphere depending on the strategic limitation of productive activity in the 'industrial' realm. This stagflationary interaction between 'business' and 'industry' is, in turn, linked (on the disaggregate level) to the dynamic formation and reformation of 'distributional coalitions' and the process of aggregate concentration. An empirical analysis of the U.S. experience between the early 1950s and the late 1980s reveals two regimes of inflationary restructuring: the first, which lasted until 1970, involved rapid increases in aggregate concentration with relatively modest stagflation, whereas the second, post-1970 regime consisted of stable (or even declining) concentration amidst severe stagflation.

What is capital? Is it a material thing or a social relation? What is political about it and how does it relate to power? What is the role of capital in the broader global political economy? The seminar examines such questions theoretically and historically. The first part explores basic conceptions of capital. It begins by studying three approaches to capital: one based on utility, a second based on labour value and a third based on power. The discussion then broadens to examine these three approaches in relation to technology, the corporation and the state. The second part of the seminar deals with transformations of capital. This part introduces the twin concepts of dominant capital and differential accumulation. Using these concepts, the seminar explores the historical processes of corporate mergers, globalization, stagflation, imperialism and the new wars of the twenty-first century.

What is ‘capitalism’ and how is it different from other social orders? How did capitalism develop? How does it function at different levels? What theories are used to explain capitalism, and how is it justified and critiqued by different ideologies? What are the roles of power, cooperation and incessant change in capital-ism? This course examines such questions from the viewpoint of political economy. It begins by critically analyzing the basic concepts of surplus and class, supply and demand, prices and profit, investment and capital accumulation. Using these basic concepts, the course proceeds to explore issues such as the nature of the corporation and business organization, the process of capitalist production, the role of inequality, the macro analysis of aggregate processes, government policies and the various ‘anomalies’ of political economy, like stagflation and accumulation-through-crisis.

What is capital? Is capital the same as machines, or is it merely a financial asset? Is it material or social? Is it static or dynamic? Surprisingly, these questions have no clear answers. The form of capital, its existence as monetary wealth, is hardly in doubt. The problem is with the content, the ‘stuff’ which makes capital grow, and on this issue there is no agreement whatsoever. For example, does capital accumulate because it is ‘productive,’ or due to the ‘exploitation’ of workers? Does capital expand ‘on its own,’ or does it need non-capitalist institutions such as the state? Can capital grow by undermining production and efficiency? What exactly is being accumulated? Does the value of capital represent a tangible ‘thing,’ ‘abstract labour’ or perhaps something totally different? What units should we use to measure its accumulation? Despite centuries of debate, none of these questions has a clear answer. Yet they have to have answers. The accumulation of capital is the central process of capitalism, and unless we can clarify what that means, our theories remain ‘bagel theories,’ with a big hole in the middle.
The seminar examines such questions theoretically and historically. The first part explores basic conceptions of capital. It begins by studying three approaches to capital: one based on utility, a second based on labour value and a third based on power. The discussion then broadens to examine these three approaches in relation to technology, the corporation and the state. The second part of the seminar deals with transformations of capital. This part introduces the twin concepts of dominant capital and differential accumulation. Using these concepts, the seminar explores the historical processes of corporate mergers, globalization, stagflation, imperialism and the new wars of the twenty-first century.

At the dawn of the 21st century, more and more people realize that ‘economics’ and ‘politics’ are intimately related. And yet, these two aspects of social existence are usually studied as separate ‘disciplines,’ each with its own categories, language and theories. Can this departmentalization be overcome? Should it? And if so, how?
The seminar deals with these questions by critically examining major themes of political economy. Topics are divided into two major categories: elements and aggregates. In the first part, the seminar examines the origins and implications of concepts such as supply and demand, equilibrium, utility and productivity, market organization, and the role of power. Part two, focusing on aggregates, covers the issues of national accounting, theories of prosperity and crisis, money and finance, economic policy, stagflation, welfare/warfare, and the global formations of trade, capital flows and currency regimes.
Throughout the seminar, the emphasis is not only on the ‘how,’ but also on the ‘why.’ Where have the concepts and theories come from? Why have they risen to prominence and what brought them down? Who benefited from them and who paid the price? Do they help us understand the world, or do they serve to conceal it? In these explorations, special emphasis is put on methodology, as well as the importance of empirical/historical analysis.

Theories of society, as of nature, are characterized by their elementary particles. The elementary particle of neoclassical economics is the util. The elementary particle of classical Marxism is abstract labour. These elementary particles represent material quanta. They are deemed useful because both neoclassical economics and classical Marxism analyze capitalism as a mode of production and consumption. In this paper we offer a different approach. We argue that, most broadly, capitalism should be seen not as a mode of production, but a mode of power. From a viewpoint of power, utils and abstract labour are useless. They represent absolute magnitudes, whereas power is inherently relative. To understand the capitalist mode of power we need new elementary particles. The basic unit of analysis we begin with is differential capitalization. Capitalization represents the present value of expected future earnings (ex-post future earnings modified by investors’ hype), which in turn are corrected for risk perceptions and discounted by the normal rate of return. Differential capitalization benchmarks the capitalization of any owner or group of owners against the average owner. The paper begins by exploring the four elementary particles that comprise differential accumulation – future earnings, hype, risk and the normal rate of return. It concludes by assessing the implications of this new framework of differential capitalization for understanding the capitalist mode of power.

FROM THE LECTURE: The concept I’m going to present draws directly from the work of Shimshon Bichler and Jonathan Nitzan. It describes the economic phases of "depth" and "breadth," and correlates them with the first- and second-order cybernetics of control. It attempts to situate the functions of cultural-communicational labor within these economic phases. It questions those autonomist Marxists who thought it would be possible to transform a broadly expansionary phase of capitalism, like that of the ‘90s, into a qualitatively different society. It’s not a polemic, but seeks to open up a field of strategic debate. It doesn’t assert a future, but observes the unfolding of the present into the depths of violence, which has robbed resistance movements of their potential, again. The concept is Peace-for-War.

FROM THE ARTICLE: As you (should) know by now, I’m a big fan of the Nitzan-Bichler analysis of Middle East politics on the basis of the global political economy of oil, turning standard Marxist, neo-colonial accounts of petro-politics on their head. Here’s my latest installment based on information I’m more privy to as a Middle Easterner. (If there is such a thing to begin with, bearing in mind also that Nitzan and Bichler are both Israelis, so your guess is as good as mine if they count!) I speak of the three interviews of Sheikh Ahmed Zaki al-Yamani on Al-Jazeera with all of the very interesting revelations he made, the general gist of which fits in with the Nitzan-Bichler thesis. While heavily involved in the mechanics of the 1973 October War ‘oil weapon’, he has to come to conclude thanks to subsequent events, that raising the price of oil was not in the interest of the Arabs but the US and the oil companies.

ההון והפיכתו לגורם המרכזי במשטר הפוליטי החדש של עושר האומות הוא ההמצאה החשובה של הבורגנות. אולם כדי ללגטם את הסדר החדש היה צריך להפכו לחלק מהמסכת המדעית החדשה. כך נוצרה הכלכלה-הפוליטית – המדע החדש שהצמיח את מדעי-החברה המודרניים.

המהדורה הראשונה של הספר, בהוצאת 'כרמל' (2001), תיארה וניתחה את ההיסטוריה הישראלית מנקודת מבט חדשה
הניתוח הציב במרכז את תהליך הצבר ההון. במשטר הקפיטליסטי, הצבר ההון הוא התהליך המרכזי של התהוות יחסי הכוח. הספר בחן את התפתחות הקפיטליזם הישראלי. הוא סקר את השתלבותה של ישראל בתהליכי הצבר ההון-כוח, באזור ומחוצה לו. הוא תיאר את התמזגותו של המעמד השליט של ישראל בקפיטליזם העולמי
בבסיס הספר עומדת כלכלה-פוליטית חדשה: תאורית ההצבר הדיפרנציאלי
המהדורה השניה, בהוצאת 'פרדס' (2007), כוללת שני פרקים חדשים: הקדמה ואחרית. פרק האחרית בוחן את 'תאורית ההצבר הדיפרנציאלי' לאור ההתפתחיות במזה"ת ובעולם מאז 2001. האם מדובר בסוג חדש של 'מלחמות תרבות' שכה חביבות הן על הפרשנים שמטעם והן על הרדיקלים -- או שמה מדובר בתהליך הצבר הון-כוח על פי המתכונת של הכלכלה הפוליטית החדשה אשר מוצגת לאורך הספר
פרק ההקדמה ממקם את 'תאורית ההצבר הדיפרנציאלי' בתוך הקונטקסט הרחב של התפתחות הכלכלה-הפוליטית. הפרק מבהיר כמה מהיסודות התיאורטיים בהתפתחות ההון והמשטר המדיני של ההון -- יסודות אשר התגלו כחסרים לקוראים הישראלים
*******************************
The 2001 edition of the book described and analyzed Israeli history from a new perspective. It emphasized capital accumulation – the key process in the formation and transformation of power under capitalism. The book examined the evolution of Israeli capitalism, its integration with accumulation processes in and outside the region, and the transnationalization of the country’s ruling class.
The centrepiece of the book is a new political economy: the theory of differential accumulation.
The new edition further explores this theory with two additional chapters: a preface and an epilogue. The epilogue examines the regional and global developments since 2001. It questions the popular explanation of a ‘clash of civilizations’ -- showing that the new wars conform to the theory of differential accumulation and confirm its predictions.
The preface situates the theory of differential accumulation within the broader evolution of political economy. It clarifies key concepts in the development of capital and its political regime, providing background that is missing from the Israeli literature.

What is ‘capitalism’ and how is it different from other social orders? How did capitalism develop? How does it function at different levels? What theories are used to explain capitalism, and how is it justified and critiqued by different ideologies? What are the roles of power, cooperation and incessant change in capital-ism? This course examines such questions from the viewpoint of political economy. It begins by critically analyzing the basic concepts of surplus and class, supply and demand, prices and profit, investment and capital accumulation. Using these basic concepts, the course proceeds to explore issues such as the nature of the corporation and business organization, the process of capitalist production, the role of inequality, the macro analysis of aggregate processes, government policies and the various ‘anomalies’ of political economy, like stagflation and accumulation-through-crisis.

What is capital? Is it a material thing or a social relation? What is political about it and how does it relate to power? What is the role of capital in the broader global political economy? The seminar examines such questions theoretically and historically. The first part explores basic conceptions of capital. It begins by studying three approaches to capital: one based on utility, a second based on labour value and a third based on power. The discussion then broadens to examine these three approaches in relation to technology, the corporation and the state. The second part of the seminar deals with transformations of capital. This part introduces the twin concepts of dominant capital and differential accumulation. Using these concepts, the seminar explores the historical processes of corporate mergers, globalization, stagflation, imperialism and the new wars of the twenty-first century.

What is capital? Is capital the same as machines, or is it merely a financial asset? Is it material or social? Is it static or dynamic? Surprisingly, these questions have no clear answers. The form of capital, its existence as monetary wealth, is hardly in doubt. The problem is with the content, the ‘stuff’ which makes capital grow, and on this issue there is no agreement whatsoever. For example, does capital accumulate because it is ‘productive,’ or due to the ‘exploitation’ of workers? Does capital expand ‘on its own,’ or does it need non-capitalist institutions such as the state? Can capital grow by undermining production and efficiency? What exactly is being accumulated? Does the value of capital represent a tangible ‘thing,’ ‘abstract labour’ or perhaps something totally different? What units should we use to measure its accumulation? Despite centuries of debate, none of these questions has a clear answer. Yet they have to have answers. The accumulation of capital is the central process of capitalism, and unless we can clarify what that means, our theories remain ‘bagel theories,’ with a big hole in the middle.
The seminar examines such questions theoretically and historically. The first part explores basic conceptions of capital. It begins by studying three approaches to capital: one based on utility, a second based on labour value and a third based on power. The discussion then broadens to examine these three approaches in relation to technology, the corporation and the state. The second part of the seminar deals with transformations of capital. This part introduces the twin concepts of dominant capital and differential accumulation. Using these concepts, the seminar explores the historical processes of corporate mergers, globalization, stagflation, imperialism and the new wars of the twenty-first century.

At the dawn of the 21st century, more and more people realize that ‘economics’ and ‘politics’ are intimately related. And yet, these two aspects of social existence are usually studied as separate ‘disciplines,’ each with its own categories, language and theories. Can this departmentalization be overcome? Should it? And if so, how?
The seminar deals with these questions by critically examining major themes of political economy. Topics are divided into two major categories: elements and aggregates. In the first part, the seminar examines the origins and implications of concepts such as supply and demand, equilibrium, utility and productivity, market organization, and the role of power. Part two, focusing on aggregates, covers the issues of national accounting, theories of prosperity and crisis, money and finance, economic policy, stagflation, welfare/warfare, and the global formations of trade, capital flows and currency regimes.
Throughout the seminar, the emphasis is not only on the ‘how,’ but also on the ‘why.’ Where have the concepts and theories come from? Why have they risen to prominence and what brought them down? Who benefited from them and who paid the price? Do they help us understand the world, or do they serve to conceal it? In these explorations, special emphasis is put on methodology, as well as the importance of empirical/historical analysis.

Capital is the central power institution of capitalism: it is the main force underlying the relentless transformation of power relations in capitalist societies. The course explores the accumulation of capital from three interrelated perspectives: conceptual, historical and empirical. At the conceptual level, it examines the evolution of different orthodox and critical theories of value and how these theories serve to explain and justify contending notions of accumulation. At the historical level, it traces the development of capital from its humble pre-capitalist origins to its present world dominance. At the empirical level, it studies and juxtaposes the qualitative and quantitative aspects of capital accumulation as they pertain to the contemporary political economy. In parallel to these explorations, the course introduces students to art and science of empirical research. By the end of the course, students are expected to be able to develop and integrate theoretical arguments with their own empirical work.

At the dawn of the 21st century, more and more people realize that ‘economics’ and ‘politics’ are intimately related. And yet, these two aspects of social existence are usually studied as separate ‘disciplines,’ each with its own categories, language and theories. Can this departmentalization be overcome? Should it? And if so, how?
The seminar deals with these questions by critically examining major themes of political economy. Topics are divided into two major categories: elements and aggregates. In the first part, the seminar examines the origins and implications of concepts such as supply and demand, equilibrium, utility and productivity, market organization, and the role of power. Part two, focusing on aggregates, covers the issues of national accounting, theories of prosperity and crisis, money and finance, economic policy, stagflation, welfare/warfare, and the global formations of trade, capital flows and currency regimes.
Throughout the seminar, the emphasis is not only on the ‘how,’ but also on the ‘why.’ Where have the concepts and theories come from? Why have they risen to prominence and what brought them down? Who benefited from them and who paid the price? Do they help us understand the world, or do they serve to conceal it? In these explorations, special emphasis is put on methodology, as well as the importance of empirical/historical analysis.

What is capital? Is capital the same as machines, or is it merely a financial asset? Is it material or social? Is it static or dynamic? Surprisingly, these questions have no clear answers. The form of capital, its existence as monetary wealth, is hardly in doubt. The problem is with the content, the ‘stuff’ which makes capital grow, and on this issue there is no agreement whatsoever. For example, does capital accumulate because it is ‘productive,’ or due to the ‘exploitation’ of workers? Does capital expand ‘on its own,’ or does it need non-capitalist institutions such as the state? Can capital grow by undermining production and efficiency? What exactly is being accumulated? Does the value of capital represent a tangible ‘thing,’ ‘abstract labour’ or perhaps something totally different? What units should we use to measure its accumulation? Despite centuries of debate, none of these questions has a clear answer. Yet they have to have answers. The accumulation of capital is the central process of capitalism, and unless we can clarify what that means, our theories remain ‘bagel theories,’ with a big hole in the middle.
The seminar examines such questions theoretically and historically. The first part explores basic conceptions of capital. It begins by studying three approaches to capital: one based on utility, a second based on labour value and a third based on power. The discussion then broadens to examine these three approaches in relation to technology, the corporation and the state. The second part of the seminar deals with transformations of capital. This part introduces the twin concepts of dominant capital and differential accumulation. Using these concepts, the seminar explores the historical processes of corporate mergers, globalization, stagflation, imperialism and the new wars of the twenty-first century.

FROM THE BACK COVER
Conventional theories of capitalism are mired in a deep crisis: after centuries of debate, they are still unable to tell us what capital is. Liberals and Marxists both think of capital as an 'economic' entity that they count in universal units of ‘utils’ or 'abstract labour', respectively. But these units are totally fictitious. Nobody has ever been able to observe or measure them, and for a good reason: they don’t exist. Since liberalism and Marxism depend on these non-existing units, their theories hang in suspension. They cannot explain the process that matters most – the accumulation of capital.
This book offers a radical alternative. According to the authors, capital is not a narrow economic entity, but a symbolic quantification of power. It has little to do with utility or abstract labour, and it extends far beyond machines and production lines. Capital, the authors claim, represents the organized power of dominant capital groups to reshape – or creorder – their society.
Written in simple language, accessible to lay readers and experts alike, the book develops a novel political economy. It takes the reader through the history, assumptions and limitations of mainstream economics and its associated theories of politics. It examines the evolution of Marxist thinking on accumulation and the state. And it articulates an innovative theory of 'capital as power' and a new history of the 'capitalist mode of power'.

Capital is the central power institution of capitalism: it is the main force underlying the relentless transformation of power relations in capitalist societies. The course explores the accumulation of capital from three interrelated perspectives: conceptual, historical and empirical. At the conceptual level, the course examines the evolution of different orthodox and critical theories of value and how these theories serve to explain and justify contending notions of accumulation. At the historical level, it traces the development of capital from its humble pre-capitalist origins to its present world dominance. At the empirical level, it studies and juxtaposes the qualitative and quantitative aspects of capital accumulation and study what they mean for the contemporary political economy. In parallel to these explorations, the course introduces students to the art and science of empirical research. By the end of the course, students are expected to be able to develop and integrate theoretical arguments with their own empirical work.

Capitalism is often understood as a mode of production and consumption. The seminar critiques this view and offers an alternative perspective of capitalism as a mode of power.
Thematically, the course consists of five parts: (1) Dilemmas of Political Economy: the two basic bifurcations separating 'politics' from 'economics' and the 'real' from the ‘nominal’, and how these dualities have gradually fractured political economy; (2) The Enigma of Capital: the liberal and Marxists conceptions of value and capital and why political economists still try to sort them out; (3) Capitalization: how discounting conquered the world while political economists looked the other way; (4) Bringing Power Back In: the history and theory of the capitalist mode of power; and (5) Capital as Power: a radical alternative to liberal and Marxists theories of accumulation.
Pedagogically, the seminar seeks to prepare students toward conducting their own independent research. Students are introduced to various electronic data sources, instructed in different methods of analysis and tutored in developing their empirical research skills. As the seminar progresses, these skills are used both to assess various theories and to develop the students’ own theoretical/empirical research project.

As Marx tells us, the capitalist regime is inextricably bound up with its theories and ideologies. These theories and ideologies, first articulated by classical political economy, are much more than a passive attempt to explain, justify and critique the so-called "economic system." Instead, they constitute an entire cosmology: a system of thinking that is both active and totalizing.
In ancient Greek, kosmeo has an active connotation: it means "to order" and "to organize," and political economy does precisely that. It explains, justifies and critiques the world, but it also actively makes this world in the first place. And it pertains not to the narrow "economy" as such, but to the entire social order, as well as to the natural universe in which this social order is embedded.
The presentation outlines an alternative cosmology – the beginning of a totally different framework for understanding capitalism. It starts by spelling out the hallmarks of the present capitalist cosmology. It continues by enumerating the reasons why, over the past century, this cosmology gradually disintegrated to the point of being unable to understand and recreate its world. And it concludes by articulating key themes of our own approach to capitalism: the theory of "capital as power."

Conventional theories of capitalism are mired in a deep crisis: after centuries of debate, they are still unable to tell us what capital is. Liberals and Marxists think of capital as an economic entity that they count in universal units of utils and abstract labor, respectively. But these units are totally fictitious: they can be neither observed nor measured. They don’t exist. And since liberalism and Marxism depend on these non-existing units, their theories hang in suspension. They cannot explain the process that matters most – the accumulation of capital.
This breakdown is no accident. Every mode of power evolves together with its dominant theories and ideologies. In capitalism, these theories and ideologies originally belonged to the study of political economy -- the first mechanical science of society. But the capitalist mode of power kept changing, and as the power underpinnings of capital became increasingly visible, the science of political economy disintegrated. By the late nineteenth century, with dominant capital having taken command, political economy was bifurcated into two distinct spheres: economics and politics. And in the twentieth century, when the power logic of capital had already penetrated every corner of society, the remnants of political economy were further fractured into mutually distinct social sciences. Nowadays, capital reigns supreme – yet social scientists have been left with no coherent framework to account for it.
The theory of Capital as Power offers a unified alternative to this fracture. It argues that capital is not a narrow economic entity, but a symbolic quantification of power. Capital has little to do with utility or abstract labor, and it extends far beyond machines and production lines. Most broadly, it represents the organized power of dominant capital groups to reshape -- or creorder -- their society.
This view leads to a different cosmology of capitalism. It offers a new theoretical framework for capital based on the twin notions of dominant capital and differential accumulation, a new conception of the state of capital and a new history of the capitalist mode of power. It also introduces new empirical research methods – including new categories; new ways of thinking about, relating and presenting data; new estimates and measurements; and, finally, the beginning of a new, disaggregate accounting that reveals the conflictual dynamics of society.

Mit ihrem Buch Capital as Power (2009) haben Jonathan Nitzan und
Shimshon Bichler eine radikale Alternative zu neoklassischen und marxistischen Wirtschaftstheorien vorgelegt. „Kapital“ begreifen sie im Rahmen ihres neuen Ansatzes nicht im engeren Sinn als ökonomische Größe, die - wie in der Neoklassik - in Nutzen-Einheiten oder - wie in der marxistischen Werttheorie - in abstrakter Arbeit gemessen werden kann, sondern als symbolische Quantifizierung gesellschaftlicher Macht. Diese Konzeption verspricht nicht nur, einen wichtigen Beitrag zum besseren Verständnis der aktuellen Krisenentwicklungen der Weltwirtschaft zu liefern, sondern sie hat auch interessante Berührungspunkte zum Konzept der imaginären Institution bei Cornelius Castoriadis.
Der diesjährige VSFA-Workshop soll die Möglichkeit bieten, den Ansatz von Nitzan und Bichler kennenzulernen, über seine kapitalismus - und krisentheoretischen Implikationen nachzudenken sowie nach den Verbindungen zum Denken von Castoriadis zu fragen.

Capitalism is often understood as a mode of production and consumption. The seminar critiques this view and offers an alternative perspective of capitalism as a mode of power.
Thematically, the course consists of five parts: (1) Dilemmas of Political Economy: the two basic bifurcations separating 'politics' from 'economics' and the 'real' from the ‘nominal’, and how these dualities have gradually fractured political economy; (2) The Enigma of Capital: the liberal and Marxists conceptions of value and capital and why political economists still try to sort them out; (3) Capitalization: how discounting conquered the world while political economists looked the other way; (4) Bringing Power Back In: the history and theory of the capitalist mode of power; and (5) Capital as Power: a radical alternative to liberal and Marxists theories of accumulation.
Pedagogically, the seminar seeks to prepare students toward conducting their own independent research. Students are introduced to various electronic data sources, instructed in different methods of analysis and tutored in developing their empirical research skills. As the seminar progresses, these skills are used both to assess various theories and to develop the students’ own theoretical/empirical research project.
