Our purpose is to examine the extent to which the concept can still be considered tenable for describing and explaining the development of the interaction between the political economy and concepts of production, notably in Germany. First, we show why and in which ways DQP was more heterogeneous than we had originally understood. Then, on the basis of evidence with respect to political, business, and economic changes in Germany, we show that DQP Mark I, a regime by and large characteristic of the 1980s, turned into DQP Mark II. In the process, major 'complementarities' disappeared between the late 1980s and now—mainly the complementarity between production modes on the one hand and industrial relations and economic regulation on the other. While the latter exhibit greater change, business strategies and production organization show more continuity, which helps explain how Germany maintained economic performance after the mid-2000s, more than other countries in Europe. Conceptually, our most important result is that the complementarities emphasized in political economy are historically relative and limited, so that they should not be postulated as stable configurations.}, language = {en} } @article{WobbeRenard2017, author = {Wobbe, Theresa and Renard, Lea}, title = {The category of 'family workers' in International Labour Organization statistics (1930s-1980s)}, series = {Journal of Global History}, volume = {12}, journal = {Journal of Global History}, publisher = {Cambridge Univ.

The term 'family worker' first became a statistical category in various Western national statistics around 1900. After 1945, it was established as a category of the International Labour Organization (ILO) labour force concept, and since then it has been extended to the wider world by way of the UN System of National Accounts. By investigating the term 'family worker' from the perspective of internationally comparable statistical classification, this article offers an empirical insight into how and why particular concepts of work become 'globalized'. We argue that the statistical term 'economically active people' was extended to unpaid family workers, whereas the distinction between family work and housework was increasingly based on scientific evidence. This reclassification of work is an indication of its growing comparability within an economic observation scheme. The ILO generated and authorized that global discourse, and, as such, attested to an increasingly global form of knowledge and communication about the status of gender and work.}, language = {en} } @misc{Sorge2011, author = {Sorge, Arndt}, title = {Too big to fail the inside story of how wall street and washington fought to save the financial system from crisis-and themselves}, series = {Socio-economic review}, volume = {9}, journal = {Socio-economic review}, number = {1}, publisher = {Oxford Univ.
