讲座摘要：
Long run economic history displays a whole spectrum of configurations between the wellbeing of population and growth. Some anthropologists have studied societies where the satisfaction of basic and social needs was fulfilled within traditional technologies, without growth. The feudal European societies were featuring on the contrary recurring demographic crises, caused by the interplay of when poor agricultural performance and climatic accidents. With the commercial and then first industrial revolution starts the modern process of cumulative growth, periodically interrupted by cyclical crises: the benefits of accumulation were unevenly distributed across social classes and groups, i.e. prosperity for some, but pauperization for others. The post WWII appears retrospectively as a novelty and oddity: a genuine capital/labor compromise, welfare systems and full employment Keynesian policies encountered such a success that public opinion and many politicians have equated growth and prosperity, the more so, the more drastic the reduction of inequalities observed in most industrialized societies. With the demise of this unprecedented socio-economic regime, a new epoch opens.
Nevertheless, such a hope is not over: in Asia, the dynamism of industrialization and accumulation has reduced poverty but widened economic inequalities. But property has a specific meaning: access to private consumption at the cost of less public goods (education, health, old age security,…). In many Latin American countries, the renewed growth – in response to a booming world economy – has entitled inequality reduction via welfare and wage increases. The motto “growth with equity” is a form of rebirth of the project “growth brings prosperity”.
This too brief survey suggests that the contemporary political agenda “prosperity without growth” should be contextualized and restricted to a zone of the word – mature capitalist / democratic countries – and representative of the uncertainty of future national socio-economic regimes after the collapse of the finance-led accumulation regime of the US and UK and its aftermath for the world economy.
