Study Notes
Models of Capitalism
- Five identified models of capitalism according to L. Pereira:
- Developed countries:
- Liberal Democratic (Anglo-Saxon) Model
- Social (European) Model
- Endogenous Social Integration (Japanese) Model
- Developing countries:
- Asian Developmental Model
- Liberal-dependent Model (common in Latin America)
- Capitalism is a historically situated economic system, evolving with technological changes and political struggles, rather than a simple market economy with minimal state intervention.
- Forces of convergence exist, but no single model of capitalism universally prevails due to diverse historical and political experiences.
- Each capitalism model exhibits distinct production organization, state roles, institutions, and core values, influenced by state intervention decisions reflective of societal choices.
Liberal Democratic Model (UK & US)
- Limited state intervention in education, healthcare, social care, and welfare.
- Neoliberal and neoconservative ideologies aimed to export their model globally but faced limitations in Europe, Japan, and dynamic Asian countries due to cultural and developmental strategies.
- Neoliberal reforms in other developing countries led to financial crises and lower economic growth rates.
- Early 2000s left-wing political shifts in Latin America reflected discontent with neoliberalism, seeking new developmental strategies inspired by Asian models.
State Socialism Model
- Defined by common ownership of major production means, including banks and factories.
- Characterized by central planning and minimal labor protection imposed on enterprises rather than the state.
- Individualism and competition prioritize over social cooperation and solidarity.
Social Democratic Model (Germany, Scandinavian States)
- Features robust state intervention in production policies, labor protection, and social services provision.
- Professional class (especially public bureaucracy) holds more power compared to Anglo-Saxon models.
- Variability in social rights guarantees exists among European countries, but all models aim for integration and solidarity through state regulation.
Endogenous Social Integration Model (Japan)
- Social protection largely rests on households and businesses, reflecting shared cultural traditions of solidarity.
- Exhibits greater economic equality than Europe without institutional reliance on a social state.
Developmental Model (China)
- National development strategy exists informally, supported by laws and policies creating investment opportunities for entrepreneurs.
- Features strong state oversight of the economy and a low level of labor protection, influenced by the Japanese model.
