Democracy, America, and the Age of Globalization

This book addresses the concerns of readers who accept the benefits of globalization and technological change, but seek to reverse the tendency toward income inequality that each produces. Government policies can mitigate that outcome. But policies to offset inequality are not insisted upon by the electorate because the public believes our system of private donations to political campaigns results in the government principally serving the interests of the wealthy. Adopting a system of public funding of electoral campaigns is necessary if egalitarian economic policies are to be adopted.

This book represents a new viewpoint of economic globalization. Until now, the debate has been polarized between those attacking globalization (such as the demonstrators at the WTO meetings), and its defenders (mostly in the U.S. business community). Jay Mandle argues that opponents fail to understand that broadly-based benefits for the poor are latent in the economic globalization process. Simultaneously, defenders have insufficiently acknowledged that it creates innocent victims who should be the object of ameliorative policies. Mandle describes effective policies to be adopted at the national and international levels to make globalization fair.

Not Slave, Not Free: The African American Economic Experience Since the Civil War

Since its publication in 1978, Jay R. Mandle’s The Roots of Black Poverty has come to be seen as a landmark publication in the study of the political economy of the postbellum South. In Not Slave, Not Free, Mandle substantially revises and updates his earlier work in light of significant new research. The new edition provides an enhanced historical perspective on the African American economic experience since emancipation.Not Slave, Not Free focuses first on rural southern society before World War II and the role played by African Americans in that setting. The South was the least developed part of the United States, a fact that Mandle considers fundamental in accounting for the poverty of African Americans in the years before the War. At the same time, however, the concentration of the black labor force in plantation work significantly retarded the South’s economic growth. Tracing the postwar migration of blacks from the South, Mandle shifts attention to the problems and opportunities that confronted African Americans in cities. He shows how occupational segregation and income growth accelerated this migration.Instrumental to an understanding of the history of the political economy of the United States, this book also directs readers and policymakers to the central issues confronting African Americans today.

Bill Clinton's presidential victory was recognition by a large segment of the United States electorate that "supply-side economics" had not lived up to its promise of raising the income levels of most households. It was time to try something else. In A New Mandate, Louis Ferleger and Jay Mandle put forward a fresh strategy for restoring American competitiveness, arguing that productivity growth and technological change can be reconciled with democratic and egalitarian values.Because rapid economic growth is the sole means by which living standards can be advanced, according to the authors, a commitment to raising productivity should be an essential component of democratic politics. Ferleger and Mandle believe that enhanced educational opportunities for the American people, particularly minorities, are the best way to accelerate productivity growth. They contend that this would not only improve the rate of technological advancement, but would also broaden the distribution of benefits derived from the resulting economic growth.As many noneconomic goals are also present in society, the authors insist that markets must be subjected to democratic political control. If we are to achieve the growth necessary to induce innovation, the government must adopt a proactive role, as only it can do.Provocative essays dealing with the former Soviet Union, Eastern Europe, and the Caribbean, as well as the United States, cover such diverse topics as NAFTA, the stock market crash of 1987, and the role of African Americans in the U.S. economy. This important work will add insight into our current economic situation and will serve as a catalyst for further, and much-needed, debate on today's economy.
