"Neoliberalism" and structural approaches to corruption. The Case of Mexico's Bank Bailout
Abstract
Economics and politics cannot be understood as separate or autonomous spheres. Throughout history, systems of power and domination have been intimately intertwined with systems of production and exploitation. This interpenetration of spheres is what is at the heart of the original concept of political economy. A large number of studies on the state unfortunately treat economics and politics as interrelated but different spheres. In fact, this tendency emerges from an even more pronounced methodological divide between the disciplines of political science and economics, which leads them to compete to see which of them pushes the study of political economy, which leads them to compete to see which of them pushes the study of political economy topics more strongly on the ground of the other, which unfortunately leaves the answers to the important questions of political economy trapped between these two disciplinary swords.
