Main interest: elaboration of a political economics. In contrast with traditional approaches — classical, neoclassical, Marxian, which base their explanatory and predictive analyses on some maximisation hypothesis — political economics tries to derive the means — behaviour, motivations, public controls — suitable to attain one or more politically stipulated macro-goals. Other concerns: a theory of growth with emphasis on disequilibrium paths.
A theory of process innovations. A threesector model as basis of capital theory. And spontaneous conformity on political essentials as a precondition of political liberty.
