Abstract

Pour que la modernité soit, il a fallu que l'économie fût ; fût découverte. L'homme moderne n'a inventé ni la technique, ni la rationalité, ni même la science, quelles que puissent être ses illusions à ce sujet. Mais il a bel et bien découvert l'économie. Pour placer dans sa mouvance active la totalité du réel, lui-même y compris. L'économie, première servie... Partant de ce lieu stratégique de notre modernité, Georges-Hubert de Radkowski nous fait arpenter toutes les contrées privilégiées par notre société, nous introduit dans toutes ses demeures. Guidés par lui, nous mettons à nu l'imposture anthropologique qui rend solidaires économie et production de richesses ; nous saisissons dans leurs dimensions véritables la place et la signification de la technique, nous cernons le contour secret et méconnu de son être. Chemin faisant, apparaissent à nos yeux l'espace où se déploie l'ouvre d'art, le rôle caché du travail dans la vision de notre temps, l'inconsistance de la notion occidentale du progrès technique, le caractère fantasmagorique de cette entité « à tout faire » de l'économie politique, le besoin. Cette interrogation sur l'économique, approche radicale de ses assises, nous met à l'écoute de cette puissance « poétique » et abyssale d'où proviennent l'humanité de l'homme autant que toute l'histoire de la société humaine : celle du DÉSIR. Ce texte où travaille le désir inaugure une critique de l'économie, équivalent contemporain de la rupture apportée par Georges Bataille dans La Part maudite et La Notion de dépense.

Abstract

This study examines the links between adjustment policies and growth in a small group of developing countries- Bangladesh, Chile, Ghana, India, Mexico, Morocco, Senegal, and Thailand - during 1970 -93. It provides an overview of the adjustment and growth experience, examines in depth several policy issues of particular interest, and distills the principal policy lessons for the design of adjustment policies.

Abstract

Since the mid-1960s, Thailand's growth performance has been exceptional. Although hard hit by the external shocks fo the late 1970s and the early 1980s that proved severely destabilizing to many developing countries, Thailand showed remarkable reslience: price stability was quickly restored, and the Thai economy emerged from this period with strong recovery in growth and investment, in an environment of overall macroeconomic stability. This study examines the evolution of investment and growth and Thailand's macroeconomic and structural policies, with a view to understanding the main factors that have led to this impressive economic performance.

Abstract

The third stage of European Economic and Monetary Union (EMU) was implemented in January 1999 against the specter of persistently high unemployment in many of the participating countries. While the high European unemployment has received considerable attention, this new IMF staff study analyzes an equally important issue: the extent of regional unemployment disparities in certain countries. The paper focuses on large and persistent differences in regional unemployment rates within several European countries. The paper includes detailed case studies of two euro area countries where regional disparities in unemployment are striking- Italy and Spain. The studies emphasize that wages are unresponsive to local labor market conditions.

Abstract

This chapter examines whether funds can help countries pursue good macroeconomic, and especially fiscal policies, and consequent design issues. Nonrenewable resource funds (NRF) have been suggested as a way of dealing with the effects of price variability, making it easier to put revenues aside when prices are high so that they can be made available to maintain expenditures when prices are low. Funds may also serve as mechanisms to allow part of the nonrenewable resource wealth to be shared by future generations. A detailed evaluation of country experience suggests that NRFs have been associated with a variety of operating rules and fiscal policy experience. In several cases, rules have been bypassed or changed and they do not themselves seem to have effectively constrained spending, and the integration of the fund's operations with overall fiscal policy has often proven problematic. Whether the political economy arguments for an NRF outweigh the potential disadvantages will need to be considered based on the situation in each country.

Abstract

Sweden's economy in the early 1990s has been characterized by a deep recession, high unemployment, a ballooning public sector budgete deficit, and a decline in the value of the currency- developments that have raised questions about the country's capacity to sustain its comprehensive welfare state. This study provides an analysis of recent economic developments in a longer-term context and assesses their implications for future policies.
