“…This study expands the model of a power-capital economy, linking to the notion of cultural tightness and comprehensive wealth. In addition, it highlights that the operational mechanism of a power-capital economy might reflect Chinese daily life consisting of practices that 'reflect values and identity rooted in place' (Pender et al 2014, 20), otherwise known as 'culture' (Flora and Flora 2004). And thus, this study takes a cultural approach to examine the power-capital economy.…”

“…This study takes a cultural approach to examine the power-capital economy. And its focus on the operation of the power-capital system can reflect on 'practices that reflect values and identity rooted in place' (Pender et al 2014, 20), which refers to 'culture' (Flora and Flora 2004) in Chinese daily life. This study employs the notion of 'cultural tightness-looseness' and attempts to identify the cultural foundations of the power-capital economy associated with cultural tightness, a concept defined as the degree to which people are punished or sanctioned if they deviate from rules and norms characterised by a society or specific space in which they are involved (Chua et al 2019;Gelfand 2019).…”

“…The inequality based on an enhanced power-capital system can be more comprehensive than general economic-based inequality (rich vs. poor). This study focuses on the operational mechanism of power capital that reflects on 'practices that reflect values and identity rooted in place' (Pender et al 2014, 20), which refers to 'culture' (Flora and Flora 2004) in Chinese daily life. In this regard, this study raises the following questions: What are the cultural foundations of a power-capital economy?…”

Inequality Based on Power and Capital is Becoming Unsolvable in China: Integrating Culture and Comprehensive Wealth to Approach a Power–Capital Economy

This study assesses China’s power–capital economy model, linking it to cultural tightness and comprehensive wealth. The analysis indicates that cultural tightness interacts with the power–capital economy, and unequal distribution of diverse tangible and intangible wealth might result from differences in cultural capital. Power–capital-based inequality widened during the reign of Xi Jinping. Of note, the worsened inequality would be unsolvable because of the political power or government-led power–capital-based inequality. Viewed from the comprehensive wealth framework (CWF) perspective, enhancing a power–capital economy would not contribute to sustainability because the system might contribute to unequal distribution of comprehensive wealth between advantaged and disadvantaged groups regarding power capital.

“…The economic development itself involves community empowerment elements such as participation, rethinking, and learning actions that specifically aim to improve local community economic position. Flora et al (1992) argued that although economic development does not necessarily improve quality of life, it does involve the collaboration of agencies in realizing more synergistic development changes. LED primarily aims to increase employment, income, and the economic base of local communities through local industry collaboration.…”

The development concept with Local Economic Development (LED) approach applied by developing countries is considered as a new resolution to reduce poverty, unemployment, and economic gaps while improving the quality of life amid globalization and world hegemony. LED is a socio-economic field of study with a relatively new policy formulation that the planning and implementation process is still developing with various alternative theories and approaches. Hence, this paper provides a conceptual and analytical framework for understanding the great power of 4.0 (Politic-Capital-Social-Information) in LEDs synergy in an applicable and comprehensive manner. This paper analyzes the theory and approach of LED with a focus on conceptualizing the synergy of the great power of 4.0 (Politic-Capital-Social-Information) coming from the governments, communities, businesses, and media that affect LED implementation success in the context of developing countries. LED conceptualization is essential in facilitating researchers, practitioners, and policymakers to elaborate political power, capital power, social power, and information influence in implementing LED programs in developing countries. Unlocking the potential of LEDs by synergizing the power of 4.0 (Politic-Capital-Social-Information) is expected to reduce socio-economic gaps and realize equal development for all people, given the condition that the LED strategy has been formulated and implemented effectively.

“…In general, investments in social networks are particularly useful for people living in rural and marginalized communities, where formal market-based and institutional solutions remain limited. Flora [11], Fafchamps and Minten [12], Bloch et al [13], and Bloch and Dutta [14] have found a positive association between investments in social networks and information transfers, enforcement of social and contractual obligations, and the provision of social assistance, such as emergency credit, all of which become crucial in Climate 2022, 10, 149 2 of 20 times of crisis. Unlike past studies, this paper aims to examine the extent to which climate shocks and other negative climate events may act as a trigger for a person to join social networks, as a risk-mitigation strategy, or to build resilience against future negative climate events.…”

Climate Shocks and Social Networks: Understanding Adaptation among Rural Indian Households

This paper seeks to uncover the impact of negative rainfall shocks on household social network relationships. I leverage the uncertainty generated from fluctuating long-term rainfall patterns across India, to estimate the impact of heightened climate risks on investments in social network relationships. In so doing, I attempt to disentangle the “direct” and “adaptive” impacts of climate shocks on social network relationships. I found that households that experience higher than average negative rainfall shocks (lower than average rainfall levels over the long term) tend to invest more in family–caste and vertical or linked network relationships. These network relationships were also found to be associated with greater access to financial credit, credit sourced specifically from family members, higher reported collaboration, more diversified businesses, and the use of private irrigation technologies, all of which are key to mitigating the negative impacts of climate shocks. Unlike past research, these results suggest that households’ decisions to invest in social networks may be an adaptive response to higher climate risk. In terms of policy implications, these results highlight the importance of strengthening and supporting family-based and linked networks (such as links to local governmental agencies and extension services) in the face of higher climate risks.
