Tradition und Reproduktion

oder: Der hartnäckige Irrtum vom immerwährenden traditionellen Sektor

Abstract

The notion of the dissolution of 'traditional' sectors in the capitalist core countries only after the Second World War is critiqued, referring to social historical data, mainly of England and Germany during the 19th and 20th centuries. As a theoretical alternative for an understanding of social and especially of household reproduction, the concept of co-existing innovative spheres under capitalism is advanced.
