    Privatisation: a false hope (1999)
    Bingley : Emerald
    International journal of public sector management 12 (1999), S. 388-409 
    Details
    ISSN: 0951-3558

    Topics: Political Science , Economics
    Notes: Examines Eastern Europe's struggle to privatise since the end of Communism; in particular reports on the experiences of Poland, Czechoslovakia and Russia. The danger of fast privatisation without restructuring is demonstrated by Czechoslovakia's experience. Poland shows the importance of employing tight budget constraints. Russia demonstrates that privatisation in chaos is unlikely to produce real change.

    Kalecki, any old idiot and the European Central Bank (2001)
    Bradford : Emerald
    European business review 13 (2001), S. 166-185 
    Details
    ISSN: 0955-534X
    Source: Emerald Fulltext Archive Database 1994-2005
    Topics: Economics
    Notes: If we accept the logic of mainstream free-market ideology-based macroeconomic theory, the European Central Bank should, to maximise economic efficiency, be independent of political influence. It is easy to forget that such an understanding of the economy was discredited by the great 1930s slump and banished from government policy in the "Golden Age" of capitalism, between 1950 and 1973. Proposes to move beyond the free-market/monetarist/new-classical consensus to consider if the row over who should head the ECB is as trivial as it seems. First considers the work of Michal Kalecki, which typically represents the Golden Age's prevailing ideology of positive state intervention. Next considers how Europe's post-war economic performance can be consistently explained by Kalecki's work. Then moves on to consider the development of the Single European Currency project with the insight that an alternative economic ideology provides.

    To whose value is the euro? (2003)
    Bradford : Emerald
    European business review 15 (2003), S. 221-234 
    Details
    ISSN: 0955-534X
    Source: Emerald Fulltext Archive Database 1994-2005
    Topics: Economics
    Notes: This article contends that Marxist economic analysis can shed more light on the likely effect of the euro on the EU economy, and the UK economy if the UK were to join, than conventional neo-classical macroeconomic analysis. Accumulated wealth/rentiers are incorporated into a model of the economy, in order to analyse how inflation affects the distribution of total social wealth between rentiers and business. The model suggests that rentiers gain, and business in general loses, from a state of price stability. Goes on to concentrate on inter-firm issues by developing a multi-sector model of the economy. The model is employed to illustrate how leading firms are also likely to benefit from price stability in the euro zone to the cost of business in the euro zone in general.

    Why are Kalecki's rentiers so boom tired? (2003)
    Bingley : Emerald
    International journal of social economics 30 (2003), S. 163-181 
    Details
    ISSN: 0306-8293
    Source: Emerald Fulltext Archive Database 1994-2005
    Topics: Economics
    Notes: To many economists, not to mention all central bankers, inflation is considered to be public enemy number one. This paper seeks to understand why inflation should be so despised. To escape from simultaneous restrictions a temporal single system (TSS) approach is employed. Firstly a simple illustration of the TSS approach is considered. In order to focus on distributional issues a positive wage and a class of rentiers are built in. Rentiers hold money stocks, past accumulated value in money terms. Rentiers are assumed to lend to productive capitalists, i.e. we have finance capital. Once we build in money stocks we find that appropriate price increases can potentially hide the effect of falling exploitation of labour, transferring the cost of reduced exploitation from productive capitalists to rentiers. Finally, conclusions are drawn.

    Is it time to finally take DrKalecki's rational planning medicine? (2001)
    Bingley : Emerald
    International journal of social economics 28 (2001), S. 667-680 
    Details
    ISSN: 0306-8293
    Source: Emerald Fulltext Archive Database 1994-2005
    Topics: Economics
    Notes: Given the effective collapse of efforts to introduce the market economy in many former communist countries it is perhaps time to look beyond the recommendations of the pro-market economics mainstream. This article seeks to clearly explain Dr Kalecki's theory of growth under socialism and to fully explain his notion of perspective planning. It then considers why such rational planning failed to be implemented under Communism. Finally, after identifying the necessary political/social conditions for successful perspective planning, it contemplates whether Russia, or similar collapsing former communist countries, could actually successfully implement rational perspective planning today.

    The relevance of Marx to all students of economics, no matter the level (2005)
    Bingley : Emerald
    International journal of social economics 32 (2005), S. 827-851 
    Details
    ISSN: 0306-8293
    Source: Emerald Fulltext Archive Database 1994-2005
    Topics: Economics
    Notes: Purpose - To challenge the validity/usefulness of teaching mainstream neo-classical/new-classical economics, by contending that Marx provides a superior understanding of the essential nature of the capitalist system. Design/methodology/approach - To explain Marx the hermeneutic issue of which Marx must be addressed. Simultaneous and dualistic interpretations of Marx question Marx's key conclusions, suggesting that Marx's value theory is inconsistent. In contrast the Temporal Single System Interpretation (TSSI) of Marx contends that all of Marx's key conclusions/results hold if one adopts a sequential and non-dualistic methodological approach, restoring Marx's central message/power. Findings - Explains how Marx endogenously accounts for the inevitable cyclical behaviour of capitalism, its tendency to concentrate and the development of the financial system. In short, Marx can explain the tendencies observed in the globalising world, whereas it is contended that mainstream analysis is hampered by prioritising an ideal simultaneous equilibrium and investigating how it might be exogenously disturbed. Research limitations/implications - If, as is contended, Marx's economics provides a superior understanding of the world, then research into Marx and analysis based on Marxian foundations should be prioritised. Practical implications - Marx should be widely taught to improve students' understanding of the economy. Originality/value - Quite simply challenges orthodoxy by rediscovering value.

    Driftsondes: Providing In Situ Long-Duration Dropsonde Observations over Remote Regions (2013)
    American Meteorological Society
    Details
    Publication Date: 2013-11-01
    Description: Constellations of driftsonde systems— gondolas floating in the stratosphere and able to release dropsondes upon command— have so far been used in three major field experiments from 2006 through 2010. With them, high-quality, high-resolution, in situ atmospheric profiles were made over extended periods in regions that are otherwise very difficult to observe. The measurements have unique value for verifying and evaluating numerical weather prediction models and global data assimilation systems; they can be a valuable resource to validate data from remote sensing instruments, especially on satellites, but also airborne or ground-based remote sensors. These applications for models and remote sensors result in a powerful combination for improving data assimilation systems. Driftsondes also can support process studies in otherwise difficult locations—for example, to study factors that control the development or decay of a tropical disturbance, or to investigate the lower boundary layer over the interior Antarctic continent. The driftsonde system is now a mature and robust observing system that can be combined with flight-level data to conduct multidisciplinary research at heights well above that reached by current research aircraft. In this article we describe the development and capabilities of the driftsonde system, the exemplary science resulting from its use to date, and some future applications.
