Economics and the Near-Death Experience of Democratic Governance

June Sekera

No 15-02, GDAE Working Papers from GDAE, Tufts University

Abstract: In this paper I trace the connection between mainstream, market-centric economics and what James Galbraith has called “the collapse of the public governing capacity.†Marketization and its confederate, privatization, have led, sometimes intentionally, to the evisceration of governmental capacity, the downsizing of democracy and the dismantling of traditions of responsible public administration that are grounded in law and the Constitution.
