Victor D. Lippit is Professor of Economics at the University of California, Riverside, where he has been since 1971.

This video was recorded in the Cairnes Graduate School of Business and Public Policy at the National University of Ireland, Galway during the "Growth and Crisis: Social Structure of Accumulation Theory and Analysis" held in Galway (Ireland) between the 2nd and 4th of November 2006.

Lippit suggests that in “Interpreting the SSA Theory,” David Kotz in 1994 addresses a series of questions concerning SSAs. Kotz asks (1) How do they support accumulation? (2) Why the long swing expansion and stagnation phases come to an end? and (3) Why are the two phases taken together so lengthy? In the same book, Terrence McDonough raises similar questions (pp. 72-84) and both advance hypotheses concerning the organizing principles that give structural coherence to SSAs. This conference seeks to address these core issues in SSA theory from a different perspective, one that considers the role played by multiple social conflicts and that takes into account ideas of overdetermination, historical contingency, and internal contradiction. Examples from Japan’s postwar SSA and the two SSAs created in the U.S. since WW II are used to illustrate the argument presented.
The academic committee of this conference was composed of Terrence McDonough at NUIG, Michael Reich at the University of California, Berkeley, and David Kotz at the University of Massachusetts, Amherst . Further details are available online on our official blog at http://ssagalway.blogspot.com/.
