  • THE WALL STREET shuffle
    Measuring Business Excellence, 1999
    Co-Authors: Damian Reece
    Abstract:

    As Market Capitalism celebrates its first decade of undisputed hegemony its oldest barometer — the US stock Market's Dow Jones Industrial Average — has undergone one of the rare revisions of its constituent companies. In reseating the top table of corporate America it aims to remain representative of the evolving US economy.

  • The rise of Capitalism and the roots of anti-American terrorism
    Journal of Peace Research, 2015
    Co-Authors: Tim Krieger, Daniel Meierrieks
    Abstract:

    This contribution examines the role of Capitalism in anti-American terrorism. It uses two theoretical frameworks, both of which contrast the pacifying effects of higher levels of capitalist development with the potentially destabilizing effects of a transition towards Capitalism, but differ with respect to their definition of Capitalism, Capitalism’s interaction with anti-American terrorism, and its empirical operationalization. Using panel data for 149 countries between 1970 and 2007 and providing further system-level time-series evidence, this contribution finds no support for hypotheses derived from the classical capitalist peace literature. There is no evidence that anti-American terrorism increases with external economic liberalization or that it decreases with higher levels of economic openness. By contrast, hypotheses derived from economic norms theory find empirical support. Conceptualizing Capitalism as social Market-Capitalism, this article finds that higher levels of Market-Capitalism are assoc...

  • The Rise of Market-Capitalism and the Roots of Anti-American Terrorism
    2014
    Co-Authors: Daniel Meierrieks, Tim Krieger
    Abstract:

    This contribution examines the role of Market-Capitalism in anti-American terrorism. It differentiates between level- and rate-of-change-effects associated with Market-capitalist development and their respective relationship with anti-U.S. violence. While this contribution argues that higher levels of capitalist development consistent with the capitalist-peace literature coincide with less anti-American terrorism, it also suggests that the process of Marketization has inflammatory effects on anti-American terrorism. Using panel data for 149 countries between 1970 and 2007, this contribution indeed finds support for these two hypotheses. The findings are further corroborated by system-level time-series evidence. Considering the findings, it is argued that a higher level of Market-Capitalism is associated with less anti-American terrorism by creating economic interdependencies and a convergence of pro-peace values and institutions. The destabilizing effects of the Marketization process are argued to stem from the violent opposition of various anti-Market interest groups to economic, politico-institutional and cultural change initiated by a transition towards a Market economy. These interest groups deliberately target the U.S. as the main proponent of modern Capitalism, globalization and modernity, where anti-American terrorism serves the purpose of consolidating their respective societal position by means of voicing dissent, rolling back pro-Market reforms and limiting the perceived Americanization of their communities. The findings of this contribution suggest that the U.S. may ultimately become a less likely target of transnational terrorism through the establishment of Market economies, but should not disregard the disruptive political, economic and cultural effects of the Marketization process in non-capitalist societies.

  • Should Africa promote stock Market Capitalism
    Journal of International Development, 1999
    Co-Authors: Ajit Singh
    Abstract:

    This paper considers the pros and cons of establishing stock Markets in Sub-Saharan African economies at the present stage of their development. It provides theoretical analysis and empirical evidence from both developing and advanced countries to argue that for many African countries such a development would be a costly irrelevance which they can ill afford; for a number of others, it is likely to do more harm than good. The African countries would do better to use their scarce human, material, and institutional resources to improve their banking systems than to promote stock Markets.
