On the Alternative Economic Strategy

我通过科学研究补助金集中研究了两个案例，例如：英国左派的替代经济战略（AES）和瑞典左派的工资收入者基金战略。尽管如此，在这份正式报告中，我只提到AES，因为我已经在之前的笔记中试图讨论后者，“集体投资基金和经济民主——为探究福利资本主义以外的历史视角做准备的试探性工作”（发表在《经济与商业评论》上）。众所周知，AES曾经代表了左派政治经济学思想的重大进步，因为它实际上帮助开启了关于社会主义社会和经济条件的更广泛的辩论。但自20世纪80年代初以来，AES似乎已经死亡。根据A. Gamble的说法，1981年英国工党的公开分裂和1983年主要选举的失败使英国工人运动意识到左翼政治力量和社会主义思想的弱点。在这篇批评社会主义经济学家会议成员的论文中，我试图澄清许多左翼知识分子共有的一些理论问题，特别是他们迄今为止建立AES战略的理论基础。

I have concentrated on two case studies through a Grant-in Aid for Scientific Research,e.g.,the alternative economic strategy(AES) of the British left and the wage-earner's funds strategy of the counterpart in Sweden. Nevertheless in this formal report I only mention on the AES since I have already tried to discuss the latter in my previous note,"Collective investment funds and economic democracy--a tentative work preparatory to inquiring into the historical perspective beyond welfare capitalism"(carried in the Review of Economics and Business).As is well known the AES once represented a major step forward in plitical economy thinkin on the Left because it actually helped to open up a much wider debate about the social and economic conditions for socialism. But since the early 1980s the AES has seemed to have been dead. According to A. Gamble the open split in the British Labour party in 1981 and the majorelectoral defeat in 1983 have produced awareness in the British labour movement of the weakness of the political forces of the Left and and of socialist ideas. The in this paper critisising papers contributed by CSE(Conference of socialist economists) members I have tried to clarify some theoritical problems which many left intellectuals have shared,in particular their theoritical basis on which the AES strategy had so far been established.
