Keith Tribe’s academic work combines an original mix. Tribe is a recognized scholar in history of economics who has played a very important role in the dissemination and translation of the work of Wilhelm Hennis and Reinhart Koselleck in English speaking academic circles, and he is currently working on a new translation of Max Weber’s Economy and Society for Harvard University Press.
This interview was recorded in the context of his visit to Copenhagen Business School in 2016 (one of Tribe’s talk on that visit was recently published in this special section in Sociologica). In our conversation, Tribe kindly answered questions about his different academic interests. In the first two answers, he expands on the original method of analysis of economic ideas unfolded in his book The Economy of the Word: Language, History, and Economics (2015, Oxford University Press). The answers to questions 3, 4 and 5 are about Weber, particularly the strange role Hayek played in making the first English translation of Economy and Society, the contemporary relevance of Hennis’s interpretation, and a clarification about the long lasting confusion with the term “iron cage”.

Latin American Perspectives publicó el artículo postumo de Gastón Beltrán: ‘The Discreet Charm of Neoliberalism. The Paradox of Argentine Business Support of Market Reforms’. El resumen dice:
The market reforms implemented in Argentina in the early 1990s by President Carlos Saúl Menem, including privatization, market liberalization, and convertibility, were welcomed by business at the time, but it soon became apparent that they limited businessmen’s economic and political power. Strikingly, despite these unexpected effects most sectors of the business community strongly supported the economic model for almost a decade. The apparent paradox of their continuing to support a model that was causing them a great deal of harm becomes less so when it is understood that their action was a result not of a rational assessment of costs and benefits but of complex processes taking place in organizational and political contexts. Their behavior is explainable in terms of the fragmentation of the business field, business’s interpretative framework, and changes in the system of interest representation. Continue reading →
Conferencia con el profesor Bernardo Batiz-Lazo: “The Paleofuture of the Cashless Society”. Miércoles 10 de diciembre 18:30 horas. Centro de Estudios Avanzados y Extensión, CEA PUCV. (Antonio Bellet 314, Providencia, Santiago). Participación gratuita.
La evolución reciente de los pagos móviles han reavivado el interés popular en una economía libre de dinero en efectivo, pero el discurso popular que rodea todo esto parece no darse cuenta de su más bien larga y tumultuosa historia. Esta miopía histórica ha llevado a muchos futuristas contemporáneos para hacer el mismo tipo de predicciones sobre la inminente “muerte del dinero en efectivo” realizadas en la década de 1960. Es evidente que la infraestructura tecnológica es mucho más avanzada ahora, pero se necesita mucho más que técnica para construir una sociedad sin dinero en efectivo; sería necesario además convertirse en una suerte de “ingeniero” en las dinámicas sociales relevantes… y eso es mucho más complicado. El eje primordial de esta conferencia es generar una discusión en torno a las dinámicas que rodean a los pagos sin efectivo Continue reading →

I met Paul du Gay one February morning in his office in Kilen, an amazing building of the Copenhagen Business School where the Department of Organization is located. In this podcast, du Gay revisits the different moments of his career so far. As his En elogio de la burocracia has recently been published in Spanish, the conversation takes off there, with stop overs in retailers and Consumption and Identity at work, and the puzzling notion of “cultural economy”, in order to finally land in Du Gay’s own experience as sociologist working in business schools and his current research on “what makes an organization” with Signe Vikkelsø. Many thanks to Antonio Stecher and Vicente Sisto – our critical management, identity and work experts at Estudios de la Economia– for discussing and suggesting questions for this interview.
