Abstract: Alberto Chilosi belongs to the last generation of scholars who
studied the socialist system and have been able to gain first-hand
experience of its operation under “real socialism”. His extraordinary
testimony features a series of analyses, thoughts, and anecdotes on the
workings of this system that have often been overlooked in the literature
of comparative economics and in the history of economic thought, but which
will undoubtedly represent an indispensable source for historians of the
future. This text also offers thought-provoking materials for those who set
out to think about a model of society that goes beyond the capitalist
economy.
Keywords: Economic Planning, Comparative Economic Systems, Social Values

Abstract: In January 1963, distinguished economists from all over the
world descended on Rio de Janeiro to discuss the phenomenon of chronic
inflation and how it interfered with the developmental prospects of Latin
America. A non-exhaustive list of participants included such notable
figures as Hollis Chenery, Gottfried Haberler, Arnold Harberger, Roy
Harrod, Albert Hirschman, Nicholas Kaldor, W. Arthur Lewis, and Dudley
Seers, who shared conference halls for an entire week with high-profile
Latin American economists like Roberto Campos, Celso Furtado, Eugenio
Gudin, Felipe Pazos, Aníbal Pinto, Mario Henrique Simonsen, Osvaldo Sunkel,
and Victor Urquidi. The conference has since been regarded as an early peak
in the decades-long controversy between monetarists and structuralists
about the causes of inflation in Latin America. While local economists had
been grappling with the problem of monetary stabilization for some time,
the topic entered the agenda of the economics mainstream as the Cuban
Revolution turned Latin America once again into a strategic security
concern. The paper shows how the sense of urgency generated by Cold War
geopolitical considerations attracted the interest of the economics
profession at large to the phenomenon of chronic inflation in Latin
America. At the same time, it imposed the standards embraced by the
mainstream onto a debate that had so far developed according to regional
concerns and priorities. The resulting tension would shape the evolution of
monetary and macroeconomic analysis in Latin America for decades to come.

Abstract: Political Economy, as an autonomous discipline, has a
relatively recent history. From its origins, it appears to be divided into
two fields, the “classical†one based on the labor- value theory, and
the “neoclassical†one at the center of which is the utility-value
theory. Our aim in this paper is to identify some relevant philosopher
strands in economic thought that can help to disentangle the reciprocal
relationships between the different economic theories, and to understand
their relations with philosophy, and particularly with Moral philosophy.
This can make it easier to study political economy, its social and
political implications, and the not always simple relationship of the
economic theory with social disciplines.
Keywords: political economy; moral philosophy; welfare economics; social
justice

Abstract: To commemorate 40 years since the founding of the Journal of
Business Ethics, the editors-in-chief of the journal have invited the
editors to provide commentaries on the future of business ethics. This
essay comprises a selection of commentaries aimed at creating dialog around
the theme Bringing Excitement to Empirical Business Ethics Research
(inspired by the title of the commentary by Babalola and van Gils). These
editors, considering the diversity of empirical approaches in business
ethics, envisage a future in which quantitative business ethics research is
more bold and innovative, as well as reflexive about its techniques, and
dialog between quantitative and qualitative research nourishes the
enrichment of both. In their commentary, Babalola and van Gils argue that
leadership research has stagnated with the use of too narrow a range of
perspectives and methods and too many overlapping concepts. They propose
that novel insights could be achieved by investigating the lived experience
of leadership (through interviews, document analysis, archival data); by
focusing on topics of concern to society; by employing different personal,
philosophical, or cultural perspectives; and by turning the lens on the
heroic leader (through “dark-side” and follower studies). Taking a
provocative stance, Bal and Garcia-Lorenzo argue that we need radical
voices in current times to enable a better understanding of the psychology
underlying ethical transformations. Psychology can support business ethics
by not shying away from grander ideas, going beyond the margins of
“unethical behaviors harming the organization” and expanding the range of
lenses used to studying behavior in context. In the arena of finance and
business ethics, Guedhami, Liang, and Shailer emphasize novel data sets and
innovative methods. Significantly, they stress that an understanding the
intersection of finance and ethics is central to business ethics; financial
equality and inclusion are persistent socio-economic and political concerns
that are not always framed as ethics issues, yet relevant business policies
and practices manifest ethical values. Finally, Charles Cho offers his
opinion on the blurry line between the “ethical” versus “social” or
“critical” aspects of accounting papers. The Journal of Business Ethics
provides fertile ground for innovative, even radical, approaches to
quantitative methods (see Zyphur and Pierides in J Bus Ethics 143(1):1–16,
https://doi.org/10.1007/s10551-017-3549-8, 2017), as part of a broad
goal of ethically reflecting on empirical research.
Keywords: accounting; finance; future of business ethics; leadership;
methodological innovation; paradigms; psychology; social relevance

5. How does an authoritarian state co-opt its social scientists studying
civil society? <http://econpapers.repec.org/RePEc:osf:osfxxx:jrqyu>
By: Ma, Ji <http://econpapers.repec.org/scripts/search.pf?aus=Ma,%20Ji> (The
University of Texas at Austin)
Abstract: What are the channels that an authoritarian state can employ
to influence the research topics undesirable to the regime? I researched a
Chinese scholarly network of civil society studies involving 14,088
researchers and their peer-reviewed journal articles published between 1998
and 2018. Individual and time fixed-effect models revealed that scholars
who are at the center of the network closely follow the narratives of the
state's policy plans and can serve as effective state agents. However,
those academics who connect different intellectual communities tend to have
novel ideas that deviate from the official narratives. Funding is revealed
to be an ineffective direct means for co-opting individual scholars,
possibly because it is routed through institutions. Combining these
findings, this study proposes an initial formation of authoritarian
knowledge regime that consists of (1) the state's official narrative, (2)
institutionalized state sponsorship, (3) co-opted intellectuals centrally
embedded in scholarly networks, and (4) intellectual brokers as sources of
novel ideas.
