This is a Western response to Akmal Gafurov's article "From Feudal to Industrial Economies: Lessons From the Soviets and Chinese," where economic development in Russia is viewed through the lens of his paradigm of administrative (A), economic (E), and moral (M) motives for production. The A-, E-, and M-motives are considered as social motives related to three social spheres: governance, economy, and culture respectively. An individual or instinctual (I) motive is introduced as an additional motive that should be considered by political economists to help understand the distinction between foraging and productive behavior. Anderson then provides a brief interpretation of economic development in the Soviet Union, China, oil-rich countries, and the West to show the value of Gaforov's approach to political economy.

Using main theories of developmental psychology and the philosophy of Ken Wilber, this article explains how the development of individual consciousness parallels the stages of development of social consciousness. The term first-tier consciousness is used to describe stages prior to ego transcendence; second-tier consciousness refers to an integral consciousness that naturally cares for others and the whole society. These stages are consistent with the seven phases of social development in the work of Akmal Gafurov, and are embodied in the evolution of modern political theory of the state from Machiavelli to the present. The article argues that an evolutionary, rather than reactionary or revolutionary, approach to social change is the required path from dictatorship to democracy to a socialist society. A genuine socialist society requires second-tier social consciousness. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Purpose – Liberal education should consist of a healthy dynamic of mastering and transcending received traditions. This paper aims to discuss this point.Design/methodology/approach – This article discusses the inherent tension between the concepts of “liberal” and “education,” where “education” involves imparting conventional knowledge and “liberal” involves freeing the mind from it.Findings – With the rise of the social sciences and the maturation of the baby-boomers, higher education in the twentieth century gained a general bias against traditional knowledge. This bias is reflected in higher education becoming more jobs oriented, more ideological, and relativistic in values.Practical implications – Higher education should consist of greater integration of historical aspects of education pushed aside in the twentieth-century while continuing its transformation through new scientific research, making twenty-first century education more genuinely liberal.Originality/value – The required transformation will be difficult for many baby-boomers now in positions of authority in higher education who rejected conventional knowledge in the 1960s.
