abstract: 'Beyond the insidious and morally contemptible personality of the
|
||||
|
||||
authoritarian political leaders that have emerged in the last decade,
|
||||
|
||||
the political ``supply{''''} of populism responds to a real ``demand{''''}
|
||||
|
||||
for popular policies that exists in advanced societies. This demands a
|
||||
|
||||
rebalancing of economic policies in favour of the working classes, the
|
||||
|
||||
middle classes and the social groups that have not benefited from the
|
||||
|
||||
economic growth of the last decades.
|
||||
|
||||
This social demand responds to an objective cause: the increase in
|
||||
|
||||
inequalities and economic insecurity. Coinciding with the neoliberal
|
||||
|
||||
shift in social and economic policies that accompanied the shift to
|
||||
|
||||
conservatism in the late 1970s and with the hyper-globalization and the
|
||||
|
||||
change of skin that global corporate capitalism experienced from the
|
||||
|
||||
1990s onward, large groups of middle classes in developed countries saw
|
||||
|
||||
their jobs, their welfare, their opportunities, and the lifestyles of
|
||||
|
||||
the communities in which they lived disappear or deteriorate. The
|
||||
|
||||
Covid-19 pandemic has only accentuated these inequalities.
|
||||
|
||||
This malaise with inequality and economic insecurity is fertile ground
|
||||
|
||||
for political polarization and authoritarian political populism. In this
|
||||
|
||||
sense, inequality and economic insecurity have acted as a powerful
|
||||
|
||||
solvent of the glue that every liberal society needs to function
|
||||
|
||||
harmoniously, to make the market economy inclusive, and to prevent
|
||||
|
||||
democracy from falling into the chaos of authoritarian populism.
|
||||
|
||||
The challenge now is to rebuild that glue, as it was done after the
|
||||
|
||||
Great Depression of the 1930s and World War 11. This essay argues,
|
||||
|
||||
first, that this glue must come from a new post-pandemic social
|
||||
|
||||
contract. Secondly, that the core of that new social contract is in the
|
||||
|
||||
reform of the enterprise to correct the misallocation of surplus (value
|
||||
|
||||
added) between wages, top management salaries and dividends.
|
||||
|
||||
The correction of this malfunctioning distribution requires
|
||||
|
||||
investigating its causes. Here it is argued that there are two. On the
|
||||
|
||||
one hand, the bias that capitalism acquired from the eighties in benefit
|
||||
|
||||
of shareholders and to the detriment of workers, suppliers, customers
|
||||
|
||||
and communities. On the other hand, that corporate concentration and the
|
||||
|
||||
market power acquired by large corporations has led to stagnation of
|
||||
|
||||
real wages and the precarization of employment.
|
||||
|
||||
The malfunctioning of distribution is not, however, the only source of
|
||||
|
||||
inequality and economic insecurity. They also come from the
|
||||
|
||||
malfunctioning of pre-distribution. To the extent that technological
|
||||
|
||||
change has opened a gap between the capabilities and skills of the
|
||||
|
||||
population and the professional profiles needed by companies, this gap
|
||||
|
||||
brings about inequality of income and employment opportunities. On the
|
||||
|
||||
other hand, the redistributive mechanisms of the Welfare State, both
|
||||
|
||||
taxes and social programs, have seen their capacity to correct the
|
||||
|
||||
inequality produced by the economy reduced.
|
||||
|
||||
To respond to this inequality and economic insecurity, the political
|
||||
|
||||
offer of new social contracts is wide and varied: the neoliberal, the
|
||||
|
||||
extreme right, the extreme left and the radical progressive. All try to
|
||||
|
||||
respond to the problem of distribution, but they do so through different
|
||||
|
||||
paths, depending on whether they emphasize pre-distribution,
|
||||
|
||||
redistribution, or distribution. The historical experience of the 1930s
|
||||
|
||||
teaches us that not everyone is well reconciled with the future.
|
||||
|
||||
A new progressive social contract must be based on the recovery of the
|
||||
|
||||
fundamental role of the third pillar of prosperity: the Social Economy.
|
||||
|
||||
Its abandonment in recent decades in favour of the market and the State
|
||||
|
||||
is one of the causes of the inability of market economies to generate
|
||||
|
||||
good jobs now.'
