La Banque mutuelle: de l'utopie au marché des capitaux, le cas britannique. [The Mutual Bank: from Utopia to the Capital Market. The British Case]
2002Co-Authors: Jan ToporowskiAbstract:This paper examines the influence of the French social philosopher on banking as a means of stimulating Capitalist Enterprise. It argues that, while successful at an early stage of capitalism, Saint-Simonian mutual proved unable to moblise capital on the scale that later became possible with the development of capital markets. This is then illustrated with a comparison of building societies in Britain that remained mutual, with building societies that transformed themselves into banks. The latter are shown to be operating with wider margins, and therefore greater scope for raising capital.

Archaeology and the invisible man: The role of slavery in the production of wealth and social class in the Bluegrass region of Kentucky, 1820 to 1870
World Archaeology, 2001Co-Authors: Susan C. Andrews, James P. FentonAbstract:In this paper we report the analysis of the economic and social strategies employed by an illiterate farmer in early nineteenth-century Kentucky to increase his wealth and social position using wealth gained from slave labor and possibly from slave breeding. Our analysis demonstrates that the slavery system was completely integrated into the regional Capitalist Enterprise, and that the same kinds of economic and social factors that motivated other types of entrepreneurs also influenced Enos Hardin to participate in and promulgate slavery. The excavation of the material remains of his farmstead in central Kentucky demonstrates his involvement with the Capitalist market, and shows the strategies he used to buy his way into a higher social standing in his community.

The concept of social fields and the productive models: Two examples from the European automobile industry
Business History, 2017Co-Authors: Morten ReitmayerAbstract:AbstractThe article examines the possibilities of the combination of the concept of social fields, which was developed by the French Sociologist Pierre Bourdieu, and the concept of the Productive Models, which was developed by the French Regulation School. It is the aim to give a better understanding of the activities of the different groups of agents within the Capitalist Enterprise, and to look for the chances and risks of single firms to change their strategy of production. A case study dealing with the two European automobile producers, VW and Renault, tests the combination of both methodological concepts on an empirical level. The question is, whether one specific economic and political context of these activities can be designated as Rhenish Capitalism.

Higher education: From craft-production to Capitalist Enterprise?
First Monday, 1998Co-Authors: Kit Sims TaylorAbstract:have argued in these electronic pages. But the same technology - if its deployment is guided by university faculties rather than by Capitalist Enterprise - can be a tool which will improve the quality of higher education as well as make higher education accessible to more students. The author argues that in this struggle between the drive of capital and the values and institutions of higher education the outcome is far from inevitable.
