Na konferenci se budou diskutovat různé formy nekapitalistického vlastnictví, ekonomické směny a jejich společného vztahu. Cílem je objasnit, jaké konkrétní formy vlastnictví stály či stojí za státními podniky, útvary ve samosprávě pracujících, družstvy, sociálními ekonomikami nebo ekonomikami domácností. Jejich vzájemný vztah a jejich vztah k nekapitalistickému trhu. Podíváme se na to, jak fungují minulé i současné trhy pod větší státní regulací nebo politikou cenové kontroly, jak probíhá ekonomická směna bez kapitálu a jak operují trhy s pozemky v moderních nekapitalistických ekonomikách, které považujeme za velmi důležité, mimo jiné, v Číně, Vietnamu, východoevropských ekonomikách 60.-80. let, na Kubě a v Mosambiku. Rádi bychom se také podívali na to, s jakými hlavními problémy se potýkají nekapitalistické struktury v kapitalistickém prostředí v Mexiku (zapatistické komunity), Brazílii (hnutí dělníků bez půdy), Argentině (hnutí „Okupované továrny“) atd. Budeme zkoumat procesy tvorby cen, financování, investic, organizování výroby a vazby na další formy ekonomické činnosti a vlastnictví. Do této problematiky zahrneme také studie agrárních a neagrárních příkladů a jejich výsledků napříč historii. Pracovním jazykem bude angličtina.
Konference bude vedená v hybridní online/offline formě, pro online účast se prosím předem registrujte na: www.bit.ly/3Ejy2cY

This year’s conference is focused on discussing different forms of non-capitalist ownership and economic exchange and their interrelationships. Our aim is to clarify what exact forms of ownership were or are behind state-owned companies, worker-managed enterprises, cooperatives, household economies, and social economies, as well as how they relate to each other and to non-capitalist exchange (referred to here also as non-capitalist markets). The relationship to capitalist markets has been much discussed, but now we need to see how historically or currently existing markets under greater state regulation, markets under price control policies, economic exchange without capital and land markets operating in modern non-capitalist economies, which we view as very important in China, Vietnam, 1960s-1980s East European economies, Cuba, and Mozambique, among others. We would also like to look at what major problems non-capitalist forms face in a capitalist environments, such as in Mexico (for the example, the Zapatista communities), Brazil (for example, the Landless Workers Movement), Argentina (for instance, the „Occupied factories“ movement) etc. Very importantly, we need to study the processes of price formation, financing, investment, production organization, land markets and links to other forms of economic activity and ownership. As part of this, we wish to include the study of agrarian and non-agrarian examples and their historical outcomes.
