A unidade dos contrários: fordismo e pós-fordismo

Alguém que "nessa altura do campeonato", início de século XXI, escreve sobre taylorismo, fordismo e quejandos ou tem nostalgia do passado ou não tem atualizado seus conhecimentos. Melhor, é um antiquado, um matusalênico que pensa que o sistema ainda é de base mecânica quando a eficiência era contabilizada através do cronômetro, de movimentos previamente estabelecidos sobre um processo que corria por meio de roldanas e outros mecânicos meios. No entanto, não é esta impressão que propomos no presente artigo. Aqui o que objetivamos é resgatar conceitos que o modismo da contemporaneidade flexível não permite que sejam percebidos, escondendo indicadores da permanência de um fazer fordista travestido, muitas vezes, de moderno, atual. A tese proposta é que o pós-fordismo contém o fordismo. Ou seja, o fordismo não é substituído pelo pós-fordismo, visto que este último contém, de acordo com a unidade dos contrários, lei da dialética, elementos fordistas, substâncias que serão representadas por meio de um continuum. Assim, a aparente situação antitética não ocorre uma vez que o pós-fordismo compreende seu oposto, o fordismo.

Poder Administrativo na Economia : a fiscalização e a planificação, origem, extensão e responsabilidade

O exercício dos poderes administrativos de fiscalização e planificação na economia e a responsabilidade patrimonial da Administração Pública constituem os temas deste trabalho. O estudo jurídico desses poderes começa por um retrospecto histórico, com destaque no contexto brasileiro, que situa sua origem na própria gênese da iniciativa privada na formação do Estado Absolutista, passando pelo Estado Liberal e culminando na visão atual, na sociedade pós-moderna. A preparação ao enfoque jurídico segue por uma visão sociológica e política dos conceitos de Poder, Poder Político, Soberania e Administração.

Transparência e democracia: os avanços e limites na área tributária no Brasil no período pós 1995

Este trabalho tem por objetivo a análise do sistema de arrecadação tributária no Brasil do ponto de vista de sua transparência. Este tema é discutido no contexto das reformas do Estado e à luz da problemática democrática. Nessa perspectiva, é analisada a administração tributária quanto ao aspecto da transparência como requisito da democracia, na relação entre fisco (Estado) e contribuinte (cidadãos). Tomam-se como ponto de referência as medidas adotadas a partir de 1995, que tinham por finalidade dotar a administração pública de melhores instrumentos de gestão, visando ao aumento da arrecadação dos tributos, buscando, ao mesmo tempo, colocar à disposição da sociedade melhores formas de acesso ao aparato tributário. O ICMS no estado de São Paulo é utilizado como a referência principal. Justifica-se o estudo pelo fato de que, no processo de redefinição do papel do Estado, a área tributária é uma das menos estudadas sob o aspecto democrático e é, ao mesmo tempo, uma das que mais atingem a sociedade brasileira.

A administração da operação dos transportes coletivos por ônibus em São Paulo: pública ou privada?

Trata da administração direta pelo Estado (Prefeitura Municipal) do transporte coletivo em São Paulo, procurando explicar os motivos da diminuição de sua participação. Através do estudo da decadência da CMTC e crescimento das empresas particulares, no período 1948-61, busca-se esclarecer a maneira pela qual os interesses econômicos lograram determinar a ação políticas municipal, e destruir a proposta de exploração direta, com exclusividade, pela Prefeitura, através da CMTC, do serviço de transporte coletivo. O transporte coletivo nas cidades brasileiras, e particularmente na cidade de são Paulo, é feito principalmente (quando não o é exclusivamente) através do serviço de ônibus. De maneira geral o serviço de ônibus é explorado por empresas particulares que têm nessa atividade suas respectivas fontes de lucro e acumulação de capital.
