The Political Economy of Inequalities
Islamic finance's phenomenal growth owes to the Shariah compliant nature of its financial instruments. Shariah forbids the charging of interest (Riba) and instead promulgates risk-sharing and trade-based modes of financing. The Islamic financial industry has been subject to both critique and admiration. Critics argue that Islamic instruments (bearing debt-based structures) differ from their conventional counterparts only in legal lexicon and not in economic impact.
Rethinking Islamic Finance
Trade disputes are usually understood as conflicts between countries with competing national interests, but as Matthew C.

Trade Wars Are Class Wars

Examine what would happen if we were to deploy blockchain technology at the sovereign level and use it to create a decentralized cashless economy. This book explains how finance and economics work today, and how the convergence of various technologies related to the financial sector can help us find solutions to problems, such as excessive debt creation, banks getting too big to fail, and shadow banking.
The Blockchain Alternative
Während im Zuge der Globalisierung immer mehr Lebensbereiche den wirtschaftlichen Sachzwängen unterworfen werden, ist das Bewußstsein für die 'blinden Flecken' der Ökonomie bisher wenig entwickelt. Dabei haben die Wirtschaftstheorien in der Vergangenheit bei der Lösung von Krisen schon mehrmals versagt. Und heute?

Wie die Klimakrise den Post-Keynesianismus herausfordert
Since 2007, central banks of industrialized countries have counteracted financial instability, recession, and deflationary risks with unprecedented monetary policy operations. While generally regarded as successful, these measures also led to an exceptional increase in the size of central bank balance sheets. The book first introduces the subject by explaining monetary policy operations in normal times, including the key instruments (open market operations, standing facilities, reserve requirements, and the collateral framework).
Monetary Policy Operations and the Financial System

Unsere ökologischen Lebensgrundlagen sind in Gefahr – aber woran liegt das und wie kann man das verändern? Breite Unterstützung genießen „grüne“ Technologien, von ihnen wird die Trendwende zu einem nachhaltigen Umgang mit natürlichen Ressourcen erwartet. Kontrovers wird hingegen diskutiert, wie tief die Ursachen der ökologischen Krise in den sozio-ökonomischen Strukturen, Lebensweisen und Weltsichten unserer modernen kapitalistischen Gesellschaft wurzeln.

For a long time, price controls were considered taboo, as neoliberal economic theory assumes that prices are supposedly formed freely by supply and demand. But especially in times of crisis, the state must intervene and cap prices to protect wage earners from excessive burdens. However, the how matters.
Price Controls Against Inflation

Decolonising economics: An illustration of the informal economy
Based on a paper by Jason Hickel and Giorgos Kallis Decoupling refers to the separation of economic value creation material extraction and pollution. Ecological limits pose a challenge to growth-led development and the low historical and predicted rate of decoupling suggests that long-term sustainable growth-led development is impossible.
