“…In Kaufman's 1969 article, entitled 'An Empirical Definition of Money' he fails to illustrate how social phenomena impact on income, savings, the value of money, prices, and other trends in the movement and use of money. On the other hand, Davidson (1972) indicates that in any disagreement on the definition of money, a social perspective is important. He shows that 'money is a social phenomenon, and many of its current features depend on what people think it is or ought to be' (Davidson 1972: 101).…”

“…He shows that 'money is a social phenomenon, and many of its current features depend on what people think it is or ought to be' (Davidson 1972: 101). Although Davidson (1972) understands the significance of social phenomena in terms of definitions of money, his analysis in Money and the Real World does not acknowledge the role of social relations and societal institutions other than banks, in how money is understood and used in social interactions.…”

“…He analyses Parson's conception of political analysis as parallel to an economic analysis. In his examination he highlights (unlike Davidson [1972], Kaufman [1969] and Laider [1969]) the interesting dynamics between money and power. In his analysis he concludes that 'money is a power resource (power base or base value) that will very probably allow the possessor to exercise purchasing power that is generalised in scope and domain'.…”

Money and gender relations in the south african maintenance system

Policy makers, in their endeavour to craft the state, treat social relations and legislation as neutral and impersonal. This detached engagement with social life is undertaken to facilitate a particular social order (Manicon 1992). In the maintenance system, this shaping of social life is also undertaken in how maintenance money is dealt with, in purely economic terms. Through a discussion of indepth interviews with women and men who use the maintenance system, this article illustrates how maintenance money is naturalised in conceptions of gender in general and in terms of fatherhood, within the maintenance system. Maintenance money is central in influencing relationships between women and men, men and their children, and (most significantly) in the smooth operation of the maintenance system. This article demonstrates that the use of the maintenance system shifts the negotiations for men's money to the state, thus challenging the bases of traditional gender relations and the notions that men are eager providers. It illustrates that by using the maintenance system, women use the state to claim their power. This they do by accessing men's money, without engaging in the matching traditional obligations. The article concludes that the maintenance system with its neutral position on maintenance money provides a platform for already-existing relationship tensions between women and men to be played out.

The paper aims to analyse and provide an overview of the emerging ecological macroeconomic approach from a methodological point of view. As with ecological economics, this emerging approach is being constituted by a methodologically plural set of studies. We identify and classify three main macroeconomic strands developed from ecological economic concerns. Firstly, we present the conventional macroeconomic IS-LM model adapted to a sustainable scale of production. Secondly, we discuss a fundamentalist post-Keynesian view on ecological economics that criticises the use of models more heavily. Finally, we describe the attempts to build ecological macroeconomic models based on the post-Keynesian approach. For each model, theories, methods, and assumptions are discussed and evaluated in light of ecological economic foundations. We conclude by reinforcing the role of methodological criticism in the consolidation of relevant ecological macroeconomics.

“…Pode-se afirmar que, no que tange à tomada de decisões quanto a investir e/ou implementar inovações tecnológicas, os empresários devem olhar em perspectiva não apenas em relação aos retornos esperados, mas também em relação às possibilidades e às condicionalidades efetivas de realizar a consolidação financeira de suas dívidas de curto prazo a serem contraídas. O papel e a funcionalidade do setor bancário quanto ao processo de criação de moeda e de fornecimento de crédito para o financiamento do investimento e da inovação tecnológica, bem como o comportamento de preferência por liquidez pelos bancos já se constituem em terreno bastante sedimentado pela abordagem teórica pós-keynesiana, segundo Studart (1985,1995,1999), Carvalho (1992Carvalho ( , 1997Carvalho ( , 2005Carvalho ( 2007Carvalho ( , 2010, Paula ( , 2003, Chick (1993) Kregel (1986Kregel ( , 1998, Davidson (1972Davidson ( , 1986Davidson ( , 1994Davidson ( , 2002Davidson ( , 2011 e Minsky (1982Minsky ( , 2008, entre outros. Entretanto, ainda há a necessidade de se estabelecer um olhar crítico sobre a outra face do mecanismo de financiamento que é o processo de consolidação financeira das dívidas, questão esta que necessita ser melhor entendida e desenvolvida do ponto de vista teórico Avançar nesta área implica primeiro reconhecer que no processo de financiamento do investimento, via crédito bancário, o finance não pode ser pensado de forma independente e dissociado do funding, conforme foi visto acima, mas também que o processo de consolidação financeira das dívidas de curto prazo (funding) é tão importantes quanto as condicionantes do finance.…”

Resumo: O processo inovativo requer que empresas inovadoras alavanquem recursos de curto prazo necessários para financiar suas inovações tecnológicas (finance). O descasamento de prazos entre obrigações financeiras e fluxos esperados das inovações impõe a necessidade de se alargar os prazos de suas dívidas (funding), para o qual o mercado de capitais desempenha papel de fundamental importância. O objetivo é discutir as relações entre setor bancário e mercados de capitais para o processo de consolidação financeira de dívidas, evidenciando como tais relações podem contribuir para o financiamento da inovação tecnológica em países em desenvolvimento, ou em processo de catching up. Visa-se estabelecer mecanismos que possam contribuir, do ponto de vista teórico, para uma melhor compreensão dos processos relacionados com o financiamento da inovação tecnológica. Pretende-se dar destaque ao papel do sistema bancário e dos mercados de capitais enquanto estruturas institucionais que se complementam no suporte ao financiamento do investimento e da inovação tecnologia. Para isso, a partir de uma base teórica póskeynesiana e schumpeteriana, analisam-se as relações entre sistema bancário e mercados de capitais, bem como sobre o financiamento bancário e a consolidação financeira das dívidas de curto prazo. Os principais resultados apontam para o fato de que as relações entre o sistema bancário e mercados de capitais são imprescindíveis para o processo de consolidação financeira de dívidas.
