Frases de Robin Hahnel

Robin Hahnel es un economista y activista político. Políticamente se considera a sí mismo producto del movimiento estadounidense de la década de 1960 Nueva Izquierda y simpatizante del socialismo libertario. Es un teórico de la economía participativa.

Ha estado activo en muchos movimientos sociales y organizaciones durante 40 años, especialmente activo fue en los movimientos estudiantiles opuestos a la invasión estadounidense de Vietnam del Sur. Más reciemente ha participado en el Partido Verde de Estados Unidos. La obra de Hahnel en teoría económica y análisis está influenciada por Marx, Keynes, Piero Sraffa, Michał Kalecki y Joan Robinson. Cabe destacar que ha trabajado como profesor en Cuba, Perú e Inglaterra.

Hanhel era un estudiante en Harvard cuando conoció a Michael Albert, quien estaba estudiando en el MIT. Durante tres décadas el dúo formado por ambos produjo siete libros. Entre los primeros trabajos estaba "Marxismo y teoría socialista", una evaluación de la teoría marxista y marxista-leninista que subrayaron lo que ellos creyeron como fallos. Subsecuentemente produjeron "Socialismo hoy y mañana", que fue un análisis del entonces reinante socialismo en la Unión Soviética, China y Cuba, así como un esbozo de un marco teórico alternativo para el socialismo.

Robin Hahnel: Frases en inglés

“The fall of communism confirms century-old libertarian claims that equity and justice cannot be imposed by force, that interpreting "to each according to work" as "to each according to the marginal revenue product of one's labor" rationalizes privilege, and that central planning stifles workers' creative potentials. Clearly, enterprises whose inputs and outputs have been determined by a central planning procedure exclude workers and consumers from decision making, separate conceptual and manual tasks, and offer unequal consumption and work opportunities. For the Soviet, East German, Polish, Czechoslovakian, and Hungarian people to reject these injustices is encouraging. But it is dishonest to say this demonstrates that capitalism is optimal. It only bespeaks a lack of alternatives.”

“Recognizing that the current form of globalization is nothing more than a generalized downward leveling in which global corporations are extracting more and more of the wealth, power, and productive energies from communities and the environment is the right approach. Recognizing that our response must be nothing less than upward leveling that does entail the transfer of resources, power, wealth, and knowledge from the world's haves to the world's have-nots is the right approach.”

“We should know that only replacing the economics of competition and greed with the economics of equitable cooperation will guarantee a globalization that takes advantage of potential efficiency gains in ways that also promote environmental protection, international equity, economic democracy, and variety.”

“Under central planning neither planners, managers, nor workers had incentives to promote the social economic interest. Nor did impeding markets for final goods to the planning system enfranchise consumers in meaningful ways. But central planning would have been incompatible with economic democracy even if it had overcome its information and incentive liabilities. And the truth is that it survived as long as it did only because it was propped up by unprecedented totalitarian political power.”
