Svetlana Kirdina New systemic institutional approach for comparative political and economic analysis Presentation. Union for Radical Political Economy at Allied Social Sciences Association conference. January 4-6, 2013. San Diego, CA, the United States of America An idea that modern economics as necessarily based on market capitalism continues to dominate in scientific-scholarly discourse. The objective of this presentation is to present an Institutional Matrix Theory, or X- and Y-theory as an alternative systemic institutional approach to economic and political development. It puts forward some new arguments to explain ‘grassroots resistance’ to the deep marketization in many societies and answers the question “why capitalism triumphs in the West and fails everywhere else”.
