Janos Kornai will present his book and more recent research:

In Dynamism, Rivalry, and the Surplus Economy, János Kornai examines capitalism as an economic system and in comparison to socialism. Kornai explains his view of capitalism as an economy of surplus - a chronic excess of supply of goods and labor. This environment breeds rivalry among producers,

which in turn encourages innovation. Socialism, on the other hand, is defined by a shortage of goods and labor and excess of demand. Whereas socialism is slothful and imitative, capitalism is dynamic and progressive. The two essays of this book will explore these differing ideologies on macro and micro levels, ending with definitive explanations of how the systems work and how they develop.

Janos Kornai présentera son livre et des recherches plus récentes :

Dans son ouvrage Dynamisme, Rivalité et Economie du surplus, János Kornai examine le capitalisme en tant que système économique et le compare au socialisme. Kornai y explique sa vision du capitalisme qu’il voit comme une économie du surplus, c’est-à-dire une économonie

d’excès chronique d’offre de biens et de main-d’œuvre. Cet environnement engendre la rivalité entre les producteurs, ce qui en retour encourage l’innovation. Le socialisme est défini comme une pénurie de biens et de travail et d’excès de la demande. Alors que le socialisme est paresseux et imitatif, le capitalisme est quant à lui dynamique et progressiste. Les deux essais de ce livre explorent ces différentes idéologies sur les niveaux macro et micro, et concluent par des explications définitives sur la façon dont les systèmes fonctionnent et comment ils se développent.
