Anglo-Saxon capitalism Quick reference
Steven Casper
A Concise Oxford Dictionary of Politics and International Relations (4 ed.)
...-Saxon capitalism A system of capitalism characterized by extensive market coordination by economic actors and relatively neutral patterns of governmental market regulation aimed at maintaining property right institutions without privileging particular social actors. Though closely tied to liberal political theory, the term ‘Anglo-Saxon capitalism’ was recently popularized by Michel Albert in his book Capitalism Vs. Capitalism ( 1993 ) and is central to recent research on ‘varieties of capitalism’. Anglo-Saxon capitalism is associated with the United...
Anglo-Saxon Capitalism
Democracy Reference library
An Oxford Companion to the Romantic Age
...civil liberties had been won after many struggles, but many political theorists and propagandists argued that the people had a claim to even greater political rights. The intellectual supports for these arguments were informed by three basic traditions: the idea of an ancient Anglo-Saxon *constitution , enshrining the genuine liberties of Englishmen lost at the Norman Conquest; a Lockean tradition of *natural rights theory which was given a radical and democratic thrust in Thomas *Paine 's Rights of Man ( 1791 ); and an emerging tradition of philosophical...

Rhenish Capitalism Quick reference
Steven Casper
A Concise Oxford Dictionary of Politics and International Relations (4 ed.)
...on Rhenish capitalism draws on the literature on democratic corporatism, suggesting that forms of social democracy characterizing the small European economies also exist at the level of the firm. Proponents of Rhenish capitalism argue that strong state regulation creates ‘beneficial constraints’ on employers such as limits on employee dismissals that encourage the development of substantial firm‐specific training of employees and patterns of ‘workplace democracy’ that are lacking in Anglo‐Saxon forms of capitalism. Critics of Rhenish capitalism argue that...

...1847–1916 ), born in Illinois, after graduation from Western Reserve University ( 1869 ) became a Congregational minister preaching the “social gospel” outlined in his book Our Country ( 1885 ), which called for a humanitarian purification of capitalism and a spreading of Christianity and this liberalized Anglo-Saxon civilization throughout the world. His other books include The Twentieth Century City ( 1898 ), Religious Movements for Social Betterment ( 1900 ), and The Next Great Awakening ( 1902...

...and Latin ( autonomy , capitalism , cognition , invention , investigate , nutrition , precipitation , reverberate , tolerance , etc.). Often the register is indicated by etymological origin. We tend to say he died poor , not he expired in indigent circumstances . See etymology (b) . To assess the effect of loanwords on the language, consider a famous example from English literature. In the following passage from Hamlet ( 1603 ), all the italicized words qualify as loanwords because they wouldn’t be found in Anglo-Saxon texts. Note the tonal...
Capitalisms: A Global System Reference library
Richard Deeg
The International Studies Encyclopedia
...broad types of capitalism: “market capitalisms,” which relied heavily on markets and hierarchies, and “institutional capitalisms,” which relied on a greater variety and more complex mix of governance mechanisms ( Crouch and Streeck 1997 ; see also Streeck and Yamamura 2001 ). Indeed, the term “varieties of capitalism” is attributable to Michel Albert ( 1993 ) , who can be loosely ascribed to the governance approach. Writing from the perspective of a practitioner, Albert suggested there were two basic varieties of capitalism, the Anglo-Saxon and the “Rhine”...
progressive movement Quick reference
David Mervin
A Concise Oxford Dictionary of Politics and International Relations (4 ed.)
...and democracy upon which the country had been founded. Progressivism and its forerunner populism were responses to these concerns. Progressivism, while it drew strength from Populist agrarian protest, had its roots in the cities among the urban middle class, mainly of white Anglo‐Saxon, Protestant origin. All progressives were much exercised by the stranglehold on the American economy that the trusts were believed to have gained. However, they disagreed over solutions to the problem. Some such as Woodrow Wilson favoured restoring competition by enforcing...

...against big government and Keynesianism, as represented in the title Capitalism and Freedom ( 1962 ) by the eminent Chicago monetary economist Milton Friedman ( 1912–2006 ). The economic troubles of the 1970s—stagflation, labor militancy, and growing welfare dependency—provided fertile territory for the construction of a narrative in which, far from big government being the solution for capitalism's ills, it had become the principal cause. A neoliberal revival took root in the Anglo-Saxon world, finding governmental expression in Britain with Margaret...
Gould, Charles Reference library
Oxford Reader’s Companion To Conrad
...flaming moustaches, all suggesting ‘an officer of cavalry turned gentleman farmer’ (71). While some characters admire Gould’s English, rock-like quality of character, their opinions are adjusted by a more sceptical omniscient narrator who connects Gould’s persistently held Anglo-Saxon manner with more serious limitations. Proud to emulate his Uncle Harry who ‘remained essentially an Englishman in his ideas’ and would tolerate ‘no nonsense’ (64), he is characteristically aloof and tight-lipped in situations requiring moral commitment; unintrospective, he is...
Olson, Mancur (1932–98) Quick reference
A Concise Oxford Dictionary of Politics and International Relations (4 ed.)
...slowly, whereas those like Japan or Germany (whose special interests had been destroyed by war and conquest), the US south and west, or the newly industrializing countries of Asia were growing rapidly. When growth rates changed in the 1990s, with Anglo-Saxon capitalism doing better than Rheinish or Asian capitalism , some said that Olson had got it wrong; others that policy‐makers had listened to Olson and broken up their producer‐group lobbies. Certainly, the UK, Australia, and New Zealand did so. In Power and Prosperity ( 2000 ), Olson shifted ground. He...

Nick Spencer
The Oxford Dictionary of the Christian Church (4 ed.)
...a popular usurpation of the divine right to govern which is properly mediated and exercised through emperor, king, and Church. However, the responsibility of political authorities for the security and well-being of God’s people led some to draw democratic principles. Thus the Anglo-Saxon abbot Aelfric in a homily for Palm Sunday in the late 10th cent. proclaimed that ‘no man can make himself king, but the people has the choice to choose a king whom they please’. Such principles lay largely dormant until the Reformation, when the principle of equality and...
socialism Quick reference
A Dictionary of Contemporary World History (6 ed.)
...and other voluntarist ideologies to the right was complicated by the development of a ‘scientific socialism’ in Marxist ideology. According to this, socialism was a transitional phase to a Communist society, in which all ownership was abolished. This was less of a problem in Anglo-Saxon countries, where Communism never gained a mass following. In continental Europe, however, the distinction between socialists and Communists was often blurred in theory, though in practice their distinctions became more pronounced during and after World War I. During the war,...

...of political regime, which has complex relations both to capital and to the state system. Contesting the State. The nature of the state has been the subject of intellectual and political debate, especially in the twentieth century. The most obvious opposing views are those of Anglo-Saxon liberalism, Marxism, and a looser school best dubbed “Germanic realism.” While there are many versions of liberalism, most are suspicious of the activities of the state. All that is virtuous is seen as residing in society; state forces are seen as obstacles ideally to be...

...of liberalism—in the sense here of cabinet government and parliamentary control—rather than the presence of capitalism that caused disaster. Liberalism Triumphant? At the end of the twentieth century, some polemicists claimed that liberalism was—and would remain—triumphant. There is an uncomfortable amount of hubris involved in that claim. Liberalism spread in the heart of the advanced world less because of any inevitability than because the Anglo-Saxon powers triumphed, none too easily, in two world wars. Equally, decolonization, which has removed the...
