Robots and us: towards an economics of the âGood Lifeâ
(Expected) adverse effects of the âICT Revolutionâ on work and opportunities for
individuals to use and develop their capacities give a new impetus to the debate on the
societal implications of technology and raise questions regarding the âresponsibilityâ of
research and innovation (RRI) and the possibility of achieving âinclusive and sustainable
societyâ. However, missing in this debate is an examination of a possible conflict
between the quest for âinclusive and sustainable societyâ and conventional economic
principles guiding capital allocation (including the funding of research and innovation).
We propose that such conflict can be resolved by re-examining the nature and purpose
of capital, and by recognising mainstream economicsâ utilitarian foundations as an
unduly restrictive subset of a wider Aristotelian understanding of choice

The state and class discipline: European labour market policy after the financial crisis
This paper looks at two related labour market policies that have persisted and even proliferated across Europe both before and after the financial crisis: wage restraint, and punitive workfare programmes. It asks why these policies, despite their weak empirical records, have been so durable. Moving beyond comparative-institutionalist explanations which emphasise institutional stickiness, it draws on Marxist and Kaleckian ideas around the concept of âclass disciplineâ. It argues that under financialisation, the need for states to implement policies that discipline the working class is intensified, even if these policies do little to enable (and may even counteract) future stability. Wage restraint and punitive active labour market policies are two examples of such measures. Moreover, this disciplinary impetus has subverted and marginalised regulatory labour market institutions, rather than being embedded within them
