Example text

Without going into the details of his account here, Gough proposed a relatively sharp distinction between the functional explanation of state expenditure and its determination by the class struggle. This distinction was based theoretically on the neo-Ricardian separation of production from distribution. The 'autonomy' of the state is severely constrained by the functional requirements of production, but is determined in relation to distribution by the class struggle. Thus productive expenditure can be explained functionally, in terms of the economic development of capitalism, while the class struggle relates to the size and structure of 'social expenditure' and the incidence of taxation.

The development of the relationship between state and civil society was then determined primarily by the tendency for the rate of profit to fall and the available countertendencies. Although Hirsch pays lip-service to the role of the class struggle in determining the patterns of historical development, this role tends to be confined within, and subordinate to, the structure and, correspondingly, to the integrative function of the state. Against this functionalist approach the central, and often repeated, theme of Holloway and Picciotto's argument is that structure and struggle cannot be separated, because it is only through struggle that 45 The State Debate structures are imposed and reproduced.

It thus appears to be the contradictory needs of capital, not the struggle of the working class, which plays the determining role in breaking down the barriers between politics and economics and undermining the illusions of reformism. Structure and Struggle in the Theory of the State Holloway and Picciotto's paper was very important in introducing the question of the relation between the economic and the political raised in the German debate, and in criticising the fetishisation of the distinction in both political theory and reformist political practice, making it possible to advance beyond the sterile debates between 'instrumentalism' and 'structuralism', between 'economism' and 'politicism', and between 'neo-Ricardianism' and 'fundamentalism'.
