Abstract

"Economics and science fiction rarely have much to do with each other. As a discipline, economics is far removed from creative writing. Science fiction arguably tells us little about the reality of day-to-day capitalism. Economic Science Fictions challenges and changes that. By treating our economy as a series of 'fictions' - stories and expectations regarding the future - and treating science fiction-writing as a means of anticipating different economic futures, this book offers various imaginative and surprising new syntheses. It brings together social science with fiction-writing; critique of everyday economic life with visions of alternatives; design with politics; utopias with dystopias; and academic scholarship with new styles of writing. Rooted in a sense that contemporary 'economic reality' is no longer working and no longer credible, it explores how we might draw on imagination and the inherent uncertainty of the future, both to revitalise economic thinking, and to re-imagine the present. This book will appeal to those working in cultural studies, creative writing, sociology, political economy and history of economic thought. Above all, it provides fresh and unusual perspectives for anyone who believes that the economy is too important to be left to the dry technicalities of economics"--

Abstract

Depuis 50 ans, l'écologie est à l'ordre du jour des politiques publiques. Pour quels résultats ? Chacun aspire désormais, aussi bien à droite qu'à gauche, à "changer de modèle". Mais les meilleures intentions suffisent-elles ? Or, pour la première fois depuis Marx, un livre, Durer, propose une approche globale du système productif et décrit les outils nécessaires à sa transformation. Il importe certes que notre développement soit durable et respecte les générations futures. Encore faut-il que les hommes soient en mesure de construire la durée à travers leurs modes mêmes de production ! Sous le couvert du temps, les principaux facteurs de production, le capital, le travail, la technique s'en trouvent profondément transformés : pour durer, le capital devient le patrimoine, le travail se consacre à la maintenance, en même temps que la technique nous sert d'enveloppe protectrice. L'économie accède désormais à sa dimension morale et politique la plus haute et la plus digne, loin des idéologies dominantes de l'innovation, de la disruption et de la destruction créatrice.

Abstract

"Imagined Futures offers a new explanation for the dynamics of modern capitalism and the restlessness of our economy, based on our temporal orientation. Building on a historical account of how competition and the credit system have forced actors to orient their decisions towards a future that is portrayed and perceived as offering both limitless opportunities and immeasurable risks, Beckert shows how the uncertainty inherent in the future pressures actors to form expectations of distinct outcomes and prevents them from calculating optimal decisions. But how do actors make decisions in a world that contains such fundamental uncertainty? Beckert argues that decisions in the economy are based on imaginaries of the future, which he calls fictional expectations, which allow us to act as if we know the future, providing the reassurance needed to embrace endeavors whose outcomes are unknowable. Beckert shows how these fictional expectations are the underlying force that propels the economy, from investments and the operation of the monetary system to innovations and the purchase of new consumer goods, and how economic crises ensue when these fictional expectations collapse. With its focus on the role of expectations in the economy, Imagined Futures addresses the central macro-level question in the history of the social sciences: What are the sources of the epic growth and repeated crises in modern capitalism?"--Provided by publisher.
