Surviving the Future is a story drawn from the fertile ground of the late David Fleming's extraordinary 'Lean Logic: A Dictionary for the Future and How to Survive It'. That hardback consists of four hundred and four interlinked dictionary entries, inviting readers to choose their own path through its radical vision. Recognizing that Lean Logic's sheer size and unusual structure can be daunting, Fleming's long-time collaborator Shaun Chamberlin has selected and edited one of these potential narratives to create Surviving the Future. The content, rare insights, and uniquely enjoyable writing style remain Fleming's, but are presented here at a more accessible paperback-length and in conventional read-it-front-to-back format
Surviving the Future
In this book, distinguished economist Edith Kuiper shows us that the history of economic thought is just that, a his-story, by telling the herstory of economic thought from the perspective of women economic writers and economists. Although some of these women were well known in their time, they were excluded from most of academic economics, and, over the past centuries, their work has been neglected, forgotten, and thus become invisible.
A Herstory of Economics
Whiteness is a process of learning: one is not born white, but becomes one. In this rich and compelling volume, Sriprakash, Rudolph and Gerrard offer a meticulous (and eye-opening) reading of educational experiences and structures that endorse systemic racism.
Learning Whiteness
This book is an original, systematic, and radical attempt at decolonizing critical theory. Drawing on linguistic concepts from 16 languages from Asia, Africa, the Arab world, and South America, the essays in the volume explore the entailments of words while discussing their conceptual implications for the humanities and the social sciences everywhere.

The climate crisis is not primarily a problem of ‘believing science’ or individual ‘carbon footprints’ – it is a class problem rooted in who owns, controls and profits from material production. As such, it will take a class struggle to solve. In this ground breaking class analysis, Matthew T. Huber argues that the carbon-intensive capitalist class must be confronted for producing climate change.
Climate Change as Class War
To grasp sex in all its complexity, including its relationship to gender, class, race and power, Srinivasan argues that we need to move beyond the simplistic views of consent in the form of yes-no, to rather consider the more complex question of wanted-unwanted.
The Right to Sex
In this searing and insightful critique, Adrienne Buller examines the fatal biases that have shaped the response of our governing institutions to climate and environmental breakdown, and asks: are the 'solutions' being proposed really solutions? Tracing the intricate connections between financial power, economic injustice and ecological crisis, she exposes the myopic economism and market-centric thinking presently undermining a future where all life can flourish.

The Price of Slavery analyzes Marx's critique of capitalist slavery and its implications for the Caribbean thought of Toussaint Louverture, Henry Christophe, C. L. R. James, Aimé Césaire, Jacques Stephen Alexis, and Suzanne Césaire. Nick Nesbitt assesses the limitations of the literature on capitalism and slavery since Eric Williams in light of Marx's key concept of the social forms of labor, wealth, and value.
The Price of Slavery
Die Autorinnen kritisieren ein Wirtschaftssystem, das den »unbezahlten Sektor« der Care-Arbeit ignoriert, und eine Ökonomie, die sich noch immer um die Frage dreht, was zahlungskräftige Leute sich leisten können, statt das Sich-Kümmern um Hausarbeit, Kindererziehung, Pflege, Freundschaften, um soziales und globales Miteinander in den Vordergrund zu rücken.

Financialization is one of the most innovative concepts to emerge in the field of political economy during the last three decades, although there is no agreement on what exactly it is. Profiting Without Producing by Costas Lapavitsas puts forth a distinctive view defining financialization in terms of the fundamental conduct of non-financial enterprises, banks and households.
Profiting Without Producing

A systematic comparison of the three major economic theories, showing how they differ and why these differences matter in shaping economic theory and practice.
Contending Economic Theories offers a unique comparative treatment of the three main theories in economics as it is taught today: neoclassical, Keynesian, and Marxian. Each is developed and discussed in its own chapter, yet also differentiated from and compared to the other two theories.
Contending Economic Theories
Identity politics is everywhere, polarising discourse from the campaign trail to the classroom and amplifying antagonisms in the media. But the compulsively referenced phrase bears little resemblance to the concept as first introduced by the radical Black feminist Combahee River Collective.
Elite Capture
In Colonial Debts Rocío Zambrana develops the concept of neoliberal coloniality in light of Puerto Rico's debt crisis. Drawing on decolonial thought and praxis, Zambrana shows how debt functions as an apparatus of predation that transforms how neoliberalism operates.

In the second video of the series Investigating International Finance, an alternative view on capital controls is given contrasting with the paradigm of classical trade theory which suggests that the removal of trade and capital barriers is associated with higher market efficiency. After explaining the conceptual mechanisms underlying capital controls, examples are introduced where countries actually apply capital controls and how these controls have been associated with a lesser exposure to international financial crises spillovers.

Christoph Freydorf geht der Frage nach, ob Marktwirtschaft ohne das Privateigentum an natürlichen Ressourcen funktionieren kann. Zunächst präsentiert er gängige Argumentationslinien in der Ökonomie, die sich für die Notwendigkeit von Privateigentum an Ressourcen aussprechen, insbesondere Leistungsgerechtigkeit und effizienter Nutzung. Anschließend präsentiert Freydorf Kritik an diesen Argumente und stellt eine ordnungspolitische Regulierung vor, die diese Kritik aufnimmt: die Ausgabe von und den Handel mit Ressourcenzertifikaten.

Sebastian Thieme geht der Frage nach, ob die Wirtschaftswissenschaften misanthropische Elemente und Wirkungen hat. Thiemes Vortrag befasst sich mit menschenfeindlichen Abwertungen, die in einem ökonomischen Kontext stehen (z.B. die Wertung von Arbeitslosigkeit als unproduktiv) und deren sozialpolitischen Auswirkungen. Er diskutiert dabei die Rolle von Konzepten wie Effizienz, Nützlichkeit, Wettbewerb, Konkurrenz und Selektion.

In this keynote lecture during the conference „The Spectre of Stagnation? Europe in the World Economy“, Till van Treek presents research on how changes in income distribution lead to macroeconomic instability and crisis, focusing on currents accounts. Treek presents the relative income hypothesis in contrast to other mainstream and Post-Keynesian explanations. The relative income hypothesis proposes that aggregate demand increases and savings decrease with rising personal income inequality due to upward looking status comparison – but effects depend on the quantile where income inequality increases. Treek points to the importance of accounting for both income and functional income distribution and underlines his arguments with data comparing different pattern in Germany and the U.S.

Prof. Dr. Uwe Schneidewind führt in die Alternativen zum Wachstumsparadigma ein. Die Notwendigkeit verdeutlicht er an der Endlichkeit der Ressourcen bei zunehmenden Ressourcenverbrauch. Die Vorstellung von "grünem Wachstum" kritisiert er und erläutert die Wirkung von Rebound-Effekten. Die gesellschaftliche, politische Transformation als Feld der Postwachstumsgesellschaft wird erklärt und in Beziehung zur naturwissenschaftlichen, technischen Forschung gesetzt.

Peter Spahn beginnt mit einer Übersicht verschiedener Geldtheorien. Er geht dabei auf die Merkantilisten und ihren Fokus auf Reserven und Gold ein, der jedoch nicht einem Fetischismus geschuldet war, sondern der Wichtigkeit von Edelmetallen als Bankreserve und dadurch als Kondition für die Schöpfung von Bankkredit galt. Danach werden die klassische Theorie und insbesondere die Quantitätsgleichung und aus dieser folgende theoretische Ableitungen vorgestellt. In der Neoklassik wird Geld als Mittel zur Minimierung von Transaktions- und Informationskosten angesehen bzw. als Alternative zum Auktionator bei Walras. Aus Postkeynesanischer Sicht und aus der soziologischen Perspektive wird auf die Effekte einer Geldwirtschaft eingegangen, sowie auf die Bedeutung von Vertrauen und die institutionelle Knappheit des Geldes. Zum Schluss wird die aktuelle Geldpolitik der EZB problematisiert.

Lukas Zeise gives an overview of economic and financial crises in the past decades (since 80s). He explains how policies and which kinds of policy were used to mitigate the crises, but also how the emergence of the crises was influenced by these policies. Furthermore, he introduces past attempts of financial market regulation and argues why present policies have not been effective and which further regulatory measures should be implemented in order to overcome financial instability and to avoid future crises.

Eckhard Hein criticises the mainstream's view of secular stagnation as the result of a negative real equilibrium interest rate. Arguing in a Keynesian spirit with particular reference to Steindl, secular stagnation is considered to be a result of shift in the functional income distribution, and oligopolistic organisation of industries, leading to excess capacity and reluctance to invest. This acts as a drag on effective demand and results in secular stagnation. Distributional policies and public investment can, however, overcome stagnation its tendencies.
