Goals of the Current Project Phase
The main objective of this phase is to consolidate existing research into a coherent scientific framework integrating macroeconomic architecture with the psychology of power. Building on an expanding body of peer-reviewed scientific research, the project aims to establish a stronger foundation for long-term interdisciplinary investigation, empirical testing, and scholarly debate.
Key Objectives
1. Bridging Economics and the Psychology of Power
Integrate economic and psychological analysis into a unified theoretical framework examining how institutional arrangements, the concentration of power, and behavioural mechanisms interact to influence economic outcomes, inequality, and societal stability.
2. Strengthening Scientific Rigor in Systemic Economic Research
Contribute to public and academic discourse on economic and institutional alternatives through transparent scientific methodology, theoretical modelling, and empirical evidence. The project seeks to move beyond ideological and short-term explanations by systematically examining the underlying mechanisms shaping economic and social outcomes.
3. Establishing a New Interdisciplinary Line of Inquiry
Connect micro-level behavioural mechanisms with macro-level economic processes, developing a research agenda at the intersection of economics, psychology, and institutional system design. Particular attention is given to how power structures emerge, reproduce themselves, and influence institutional performance over time.
Core Project Deliverables
The achievement of these objectives will be supported by the completion of key scientific publications:
Scientific articles submitted to peer-reviewed academic journals, further developing and refining the project's theoretical and methodological foundations.
A monograph on the psychology of power, examining the behavioural mechanisms through which power concentration, exclusion, and group dynamics may contribute to inequality, instability, and institutional dysfunction.
A monograph on economic architecture and economic democracy, consolidating the project's existing theoretical and peer-reviewed research into a comprehensive institutional framework and examining the feasibility of Cooperativism as an alternative macroeconomic architecture.
