| Summary: | Comparative judgements related to economic systems (along with pending political
ideologies) represent a subject of investigation that, at first glance, appertains to the “ABC”
of social sciences, although the “literacy” of policy-makers, business officials, or public
opinion reveals surprising understanding flaws. The academic environment – where there is
a tacit consensus on the interdisciplinary character of such an approach, on the perpetual
relevance within the various (sub)disciplines, and on the somewhat exhaustion of the
subordinated debates – remains subtly divided on a series of theoretical delimitations or
historical evidence. This article aims to highlight a (sub)domain of the comparative analysis
regarding the economic systems in which the literature is not as polarized as it is rarefied:
what roots and reverberations does “social responsibility” have within the main economic
systems and where and how its “ecological sustainability” component manifests itself? The
present research targets to critically and originally review, in a “bioeconomic” key, the way
in which social responsibility underlying sustainability is perceived, penetrated and
practiced within pure liberal capitalism / market economy, canonical socialism / command
economy, and real-world interventionism / mixed economy, offering both a priori insights
and empirical illustrations. |
