“…4 And when divorce emerges there is evidence of a substantial drop in the level of trust that children have for their fathers, who are usually the noncustodial party (King 2002). Currently the American family is experiencing a "nurturance gap" (Stanfield and Stanfield 1997) and an undersupply of "caring labor" (Folbre 1995). As David Ciscel and Julia Heath conclude:…”

Recent institutional changes have seen the increasing dominance of globalization and neoliberalism in the world economy. As markets have been deregulated, privatization and unproductive government spending have been promoted. Yet the greater volatility of capitals, the emergence of many financial crises, a decline in trust, and environmental problems have cast doubt on the effectiveness of neoliberal globalization.This book studies the impact of neoliberal globalization on growth and development in the world economy. It scrutinizes whether new social structures of accumulation or modes of regulation have emerged to promote long-term socioeconomic performance in the global economy during the early years of the twenty-first century. Special reference is given to the specific performance of neoliberal governance; transnational corporations; global institutions of money, trade, and production; international relations of war and terrorism; financial institutions; and the family-community environment.It is a comprehensive analysis of the degree to which institutional development has managed to promote socioeconomic performance in the global economy. It also presents a thorough policy program of action for long wave upswing in the world economy. It will be especially useful for those scholars and students concerned with issues of governance, global political economy, institutions, and macroeconomics.Phillip Anthony O'Hara is Professor of Global Political Economy and Governance and Director of the Global Political Economy Research Unit, at Curtin University, Perth, Australia. He won the European Association for Evolutionary Political Economy "2002 Gunnar Myrdal Prize" for Marx, Veblen and Contemporary Institutional Political Economy (Elgar, 2000); is the editor of Global Political Economy and the Wealth of Nations (Routledge, 2004) Reviews of Growth and Development in the Global Political Economy"I am delighted to endorse Phil O'Hara's new volume. Many years ago I examined his Honours dissertation at Murdoch University on Marx's theories of crisis. It was an outstanding piece of scholarship and I recognised then that a star had been born. His many contributions since show how right I was! Growth and Development in the Global Political Economy is the jewel in his crown. It contains a superb intertwining of historical, political, economic and institutional analysis of modern global capitalism, its successes and failures. It is also a critique of the claims of neoliberal analysis, and the provision of an alternative illuminating analysis; combined with detailed suggestions for the creation of institutions that will go some way towards ensuring that potential sustainable development will be achieved in a manner that helps all the world's citizens and preserves the physical environment for future generations. O'Hara has written a notable book which ought to be read by all serious economists, social scientists, concerned citizens, politicians and policy makers."

“…The complex, heterodox economic agent permits consideration of a wider array of benefits and costs. The limits of growth argument asserts that the social costs of stress and tenuous personal relationships that are less than nurturing seem excessive relative to the welfare-added of further output (Stanfield and Stanfield 1997).…”

“…We see no reason to think that such a change in the nature of capitalist society is underway. Instead we see evidence of a continuing and perhaps growing Nurturance Gap which suggests otherwise (Stanfield and Stanfield 1997), as does the global financial crisis of 1997-98, which is now revealed as mere harbinger of the crisis of 2007-09.…”

“…It seems unlikely that the lower wage level would then be increased to what once was the minimum wage. The predominance of economics-the hollowing out of socially structured relationships, as Stanfield and Stanfield (1997) formulate-would eventually exert pressure for wages to drop to zero. Without those non-economic incentives that once made people chose work even at constant income, modern wage subsidies are unlikely to work, unless transfer payments to the unemployed are cut back accordingly.…”
