“…Tu valja podsjetiti na odredbu Ustava Republike Hrvatske prema kojoj je obitelj pod posebnom zaštitom države 21 jer država štiti materinstvo, djecu i mladež te stvara socijalne, materijalne i druge uvjete kojima se promiče ostvarivanje prava na dostojan život. 22 Jednako odlučno treba odbaciti i ideju da djelatnost socijalne države, poput transfera sredstava ugroženim građanima zbog nezaposlenosti te garancija univerzalnih, dostupnih i, što više, besplatnih javnih usluga, demotivira građane u pronalasku zaposlenja (ili izvora povećanja prihoda). Teza da socijalna država zarobljava siromašne u siromaštvu, 23 usput svodeći one na dnu društvene ljestvice na stereotip neradnika koji svojevoljno parazitiraju na račun poreznih obveznika, u suprotnosti je sa samim temeljima modernih ustavnih poredaka u kojima je pravo na poštovanje ljudskoga dostojanstva najviša vrednota (tako čl.…”

Ekonomske krize s kraja 20. i početka 21. stoljeća aktualiziraju prijepore oko uloge države u socio-ekonomskom životu društva. Populistički pokreti izrasli na posljedicama posljednje velike krize iz 2008. pozivajući se na socijalnu državu i socijalnu pravdu, smjeraju rastakanju demokratskoga poretka. Zbog toga se imperativnim nameće poznavanje nastanka socijalne države, njezine konstitucionalizacije i jačanja opće solidarnosti u poslijeratnim godinama druge polovice 20. stoljeća. Radi jačanja socijalne države nužno je promotriti neoliberalnu kritiku njezine koncepcije te snagom tumačenja načela socijalne države i socijalne pravde proizišlima iz recentne ustavnosudske prakse pristupiti reafirmaciji koncepta socijalne države kao države općeg blagostanja. Vodiljom na putu reafirmacije vrijednosti i redefinicije njezina sadržaja nameće se skandinavski model socijalne države, posebice dansko oživotvorenje, tzv. flexicurity modela, a najpogodnijim sredstvom njezina ostvarenja fiskalni suverenitet države. Jačanjem poreznoga kapaciteta, uvažavajući ustavna ograničenja oporezivanja, moguće se približiti skandinavskom modelu aktivne socijalne države kao jamcu sigurnosti i mobilnosti te izgraditi novu državu opće solidarnosti.

“…This notion was partially fostered by Georgescu-Roegen himself—who spoke of a “fundamental change in my orientation as an economist” happening at around that time (Georgescu-Roegen [1970] 1976, p. ix)—and later popularized by some of his followers (Miernyk 1990). Even scholars who dispute the accuracy of this narrative are mostly interested in re-establishing the coherence between these two moments in Georgescu-Roegen’s career, without questioning whether they actually exhaust his contributions or faithfully portray his intellectual trajectory (Mirowski 1992; Gowdy and Mesner 1998; Bobulescu 2012; Missemer 2013).…”

Accounts of Nicholas Georgescu-Roegen’s career usually focus on his pioneer contributions to mathematical economics during the 1930s and his later conversion to a critical approach to economic theory anchored on the entropy law. These disparate moments, however, were connected by Georgescu-Roegen’s strong attraction to the study of problems afflicting less developed societies. This began with his work on the agrarian economy of his native Romania, in the late 1940s, under the auspices of Harvard’s Russian Research Center. Thenceforth, he embarked on a journey that spawned his early interest in Leontief-type linear models, an extended tour of Southeast Asia commissioned by Vanderbilt University’s Graduate Program in Economic Development, and several visits to Brazil during the 1960s. The paper highlights these lesser-known aspects of Georgescu-Roegen’s trajectory, examining how he built on neo-populist writings from the early twentieth century to construct an alternative to the mainstream emphasis on industrialization policies.

“…The polarization comes from the ever-enduring dualism of the collective versus the individual, not a new problem in human thought (e.g., Tocqueville, 1850Tocqueville, /1969 (Braman et al, 2011;Krugman, 2014;Mirowski, Walker, and Abboud, 2013).…”
