浅析中国城镇居民的住房消费能力

我国从1980年提出了住房改革的思路到1998年出台停止住房实物分配,逐步实现住房分配货币化为核心的住房制度改革方案,历经20个年头,改革走过了一条不平凡的路。但作为人们最基本的生活消费品,城镇居民住房无论是居住面积、住房成套率还是辅助设施、居住环境,长期以来都明显偏低。随着城镇人口的不断增长,人们生活水平和质量的不断提高,住房的消费需求潜力是巨大的。

Post-neoliberal protest in Latin America as a struggle over the name of ‘the people’

If the ‘move to the left’ in the 2000s in Argentina and Brazil was the result of a longer process of contentious mobilization from below, enacted primarily during the latter part of the previous decade, what kind of social imaginaries have been enacted in the newest wave of discontent and what is its likely effect on the post-neoliberal form of governance? The argument put forward here is that the newest wave of social protest elicits the re-enactment of the liberal imaginary indirectly expressed under the notion of the republic. This operation tends to undermine the bases of post-neoliberalism, i.e. ‘the popular’, ‘the national-popular’ and ‘anti-neoliberalism: the imaginaries that defined the move to the left in the region. A new activated public, associated with middle-class sectors, raises new demands and does not identify with the ‘anti-neoliberal’ camp. Inasmuch as this activation entails a dispute over the name of the people, it signals a slowdown in the efficacy existing populist formations possess to deepen the movement towards more radical reforms.     

经济自由是当代中国法的时代精神

经济自南是特定社会阶段中,统治者在对某种经济自由主义思潮认可的基础上,通过法律手段的运用,涤除政府垄断,矫正政府越位,而取得占据自由权利中核心地位的一种实际状态.追求经济自由是每个国家所期望的经济社会发展的最佳状态.据此,笔者认为,"经济自由是当代中国法的时代精神"的表述,比"自由是法的时代精神"的表述更符合我国当前经济社会发展的需要.     

Puerto Rico: National security,economic growth and colonialism

Abstract

Puerto Rico's significance for the US state and imperialism has gradually deteriorated. In the context of recent global changes and new developments in the US political economy the logic that justified colonial control cannot be sustained. However, an array of counteracting political and economic forces are conspiring to overcome the altered material and geopolitical conditions that make evident the need for Puerto Rico's decolonization.

Colonialism has given rise to an array of forces that impedes any changes in Puerto Rico's formal political status. Where once the US state, corporate capital and the dominant political forces in Puerto Rico were in relative agreement on sustaining the colonial enterprise, a new constellation of competing forces has emerged. Within Puerto Rico proponents for the status, quo and those who agitate for statehood have reached virtual electoral parity. Monopoly “capital, primarily in Pharmaceuticals, dominates the local economy. However, it is challenged by North American unions and their congressional allies who seek to rescind the lucrative fiscal policies that account for these firms exorbitant profits. Agencies of the US state and congressional committees are at odds on what needs to be done to sustain an unmanageable, increasingly expensive and anachronistic colony.

This essay presents a framework for examining the array of forces and conditions that continue to erode the colonial relation and that explains colonialism's fragility in the current period of global readjustment.
