Winner of the Nobel Prize in Economics

Get ready to change the way you think about economics.

Nobel laureate Richard H. Thaler has spent his career studying the radical notion that the central agents in the economy are humans--predictable, error-prone individuals. Misbehaving is his arresting, frequently hilarious account of the struggle to bring an academic discipline back down to earth--and change the way we think about economics, ourselves, and our world.

Angesichts der Ereignisstürme im gegenwärtigen Finanz­geschäft widmet sich Joseph Vogl den Wahrnehmungs­weisen, Theorien und Problemlagen dessen, was man mit gutem Grund immer noch Kapitalismus nennen muss. Gerade Finanzmärkte gelten als das Marktgeschehen schlechthin: Unbelastet von den Beschwernissen der Produktion sind sie – für die herrschende ökonomische Doktrin – Schauplätze eines perfekten Wettbewerbs und idealer wirtschaftlicher Ausgleichprozesse: ein segensreiches Zusammenspiel von gewinnorientierten und also ebenso rationalen wie zuverlässigen Akteuren.

In this revealing book, Katharina Pistor argues that the law selectively “codes” certain assets, endowing them with the capacity to protect and produce private wealth. With the right legal coding, any object, claim, or idea can be turned into capital—and lawyers are the keepers of the code.

Die gegenwärtige Krise ist mehr als eine Krise der Wirtschaft. Sie ist auch eine Krise des neoliberalen Projekts, das die Wirtschaft und die Gesellschaft nachhaltig verändert hat. Es beruht auf dem vorbehaltlosen Glauben an den ‚freien Markt‘, an die Selbstregulierung eines blinden Mechanismus und an die segensreichen Wirkungen der Marktkräfte.
