Die Eleganz der modernen Klimaökonomik scheint für viele attraktiv. Wie sie nichtsdestotrotz die Realität verklärt, wichtige Machtfragen ignoriert und so unzulänglich für effektive Klimapolitik ist, zeigt dieser Beitrag von Philipp Censkowsky und Jorim Gerrard.
Der Elefant im Raum: Carbon Majors als blinde Flecken in der Klimaökonomik
Weite Teile der vorherrschenden Ökonomik haben Bewegungen wie „Fridays for Futures“ oder „Extinction Rebellion“ kaum relevantes Wissen anzubieten. Dies liegt vor allem an einem ideologisch verengten Blick auf das, was als ökonomisch bezeichnet wird, sowie den daraus resultierenden Maßnahmen. Märkte gelten in der vorherrschenden VWL als Synonym für Ökonomie.

Wie die Wende zu einem nachhaltigen Finanzsystem gelingen kann
Ha Joon Chang exposes the main ideas of his book Bad Samaritans, namely that historically states have developed and industrialized by making policy interventions related to industry protection, tariffs and subsidies and not by opening their markets to free trade. Chang elaborates on the examples of Japan, the US, Singapore and Germany amongst others to show that an interventionist path to development has been the regularity and not an anomaly. In the end of the lecture, he argues that they idea of a level playing field should be replaced by a trade order that accounts for differences in power and economic capacities of different countries. The last 20 minutes are questions and answers.

Eine Frage der Autonomie
In deutschen Führungsetagen dominieren weiterhin die Männer. Warum das so ist und wie das verändert werden kann. Das hat verschiedene Ursachen. Ein Faktor jedoch: schlechtere Aufstiegschancen. Unter dem Begriff der gläsernen Decke diskutiert die Fachliteratur ein Phänomen, das unter anderem Frauen den Aufstieg in der Hierarchie verschiedener Organisationen nur bis zu einem bestimmten Punkt ermöglicht. Irgendwann stockt der Fahrstuhl und auch die Treppe führt nur vor eine verschlossene Tür. Für vergleichbar qualifizierte Männer ist sie jedoch offen. Warum ist das so und wie wird das Problem seitens der Politik angegangen?
Die gläserne Decke - Warum Frauen der Weg an die Spitze oft verwehrt ist

Green Economy and Sustainable Development: Bringing Back the Social
Stiglitz answers the question why globalization and world trade has not delivered on its promise of increased well being as much as classical economists thought, by pointing to the power asymmetries: firstly, between industrialized nations and developing nations and secondly, between special corporate interest and social interests. In his analysis, developed countries and MNCs were able to extract the benefits, while shifting the costs (i.e. pollution) to states and communities with lesser power. Amongst many other historical examples the pharmaceutical and the mining industry are discussed to some length.
Stiglitz on globalization, why globalization fails? The trade agreements
This video animates part of the talk “On Economics” by Ha-Joon Chang in which he states that economics is not a science for experts but for everyone. Chang further argues why it is important to take into account different perspectives on economics – he identifies at least nine school of thoughts which all have their strengths and weaknesses and presents examples on free trade and well-being. Chang further elaborates on the difficulties of changing the economic status quo.

Trade disputes are usually understood as conflicts between countries with competing national interests, but as Matthew C.

Post-Keynesian and heterodox economics challenge the mainstream economics theories that dominate the teaching at universities and government economic policies. And it was these latter theories that helped to cause the great depression the United States and the rest of the world is in.

Interview of Steven Fazzari by Eckhard Hein and Gennaro Zezza
In this lecture Mirowski claims that a good critique of and alternative to neoclassical economics should focus on microeconomics. In addition, he claims that mainstream economics is not about a specific "human nature", instead the understanding of markets (partially based on Hayek) is of special importance. As an alternative Mirowski proposes institutionalist economics that builds upon how markets work nowadays (e.g. links to computer science).
