Interdisciplinary Economics
Der Politologe Ingo Stützle bemüht sich um eine marxistische Kritik an der Modern Monetary Theory. Zwar stellt er einige valide Kritikpunkt heraus – etwa die mangelnde Berücksichtigung von Machtverhältnissen. Doch ist seine Gegendarstellung kaum weniger machtblind. Eine Kritik von Malte Kornfeld.
MMT-Kritik unter Vorbehalt
After long-time negligence, the Global South and the North-South divide are back on the agenda of development economics again. This book is a neat, accessible introduction into the topic, covering both the current situation and potential remedies from different points of view.
Readings in the Theory of Economic Development
This book provides important insights into agrarian history and the economic and cultural meanings associated with land.
The Cultural Economy of Land
More-is-better ideals such as these have long shaped our vision of rationality. Yet humans and other animals typically rely on simple heuristics to solve adaptive problems, focusing on one or a few important cues and ignoring the rest, and shortcutting computation rather than striving for as much as possible.
Ecological Rationality
In parallel to rising inflation numbers, the concept of profit inflation has clearly risen to prominence in recent years. But what is it exactly? This dossier aims not only to collect the most important publications on profit inflation but also intends to map out the development of the discourse and the different positions within the debate.
Profit Inflation: Mapping the debate
"The Company of Strangers: A Natural History of Economic Life" by Paul Seabright is an engaging and informative book that explores the complex relationship between economic behavior and human instincts. Seabright uses real-world examples to present complex ideas in a clear and accessible way.

The Company of Strangers
Die »New International Economic Order« (NIEO) war der erste alternative Globalisierungsentwurf: ein Projekt zur Überwindung kolonialer Wirtschaftsstrukturen zwischen dem Globalen Süden und dem Globalen Norden. Die Beiträger*innen fragen angesichts globaler Armut, der Klimakatastrophe, zunehmender internationaler Konflikte und der Krise des Kapitalismus nach der heutigen Relevanz der NIEO – und zeigen die Dringlichkeit einer radikalen Transformation der Weltwirtschaft auf.
Eine gerechte Weltwirtschaftsordnung?

Am 06. November 2024 zerbrach die deutsche Bundesregierung an der Schuldenbremse und der Frage nach Zukunftsinvestitionen. Hinter der wirtschaftspolitischen Auseinandersetzung steckt eine tiefe Krise des exportabhängigen deutschen Wachstumsmodells, analysiert der Politökonom Max Hauser.
Am Wendepunkt? Die Krise des deutschen Exportmodells und die “Wirtschaftswende”
Usually, Critical Theory and Economics are, for better or worse, no longer seen to be in a continuum. This article by Lukas Meisner serves as an introduction to Critical Theory for all (heterodox) economists, who want to understand and explain what they can, otherwise, just state and describe.
Critical Theory for Heterodox Economists: Questioning the Premises of Supply and Demand
This book provides a far-reaching overview of the development of radical ecology and heterodox economics on the issues of sustainability.
Conceptualising an Alternative Political Economy of Sustainability
In a capitalist system, consumers, investors, and corporations orient their activities toward a future that contains opportunities and risks. How actors assess uncertainty is a problem that economists have tried to solve through general equilibrium and rational expectations theory. Powerful as these analytical tools are, they underestimate the future's unknowability by assuming that markets, in the aggregate, correctly forecast what is to come.
Imagined Futures
This volume focuses on the importance of the history of economic thought as an intellectual discipline. It counters the arguments of some contemporary economists who describe it as studying the mistakes of the past. However, all the great economists - Smith, Ricardo, Marx, Marshall, Keynes and even Milton Friedman - have drawn on the history of economics to find an appropriate pedigree for their own theoretical innovations.
The Historiography of Economics
The Elgar Companion to Neo-Schumpeterian Economics surveys the achievements of the most visible scholars in this area. The contributions to the Companion give both a brief survey on the various fields of neo-Schumpeterian economics as well as insights into recent research at the scientific frontiers.
Elgar Companion to Neo-Schumpeterian Economics
The Austrian tradition in economic thought had a profound influence on the development of post-war economics including neoclassical orthodoxy, game theory, public choice, behavioral economics, experimental economics and complexity economics.
Explorations in Austrian Economics
Smith contends that there is no possible solution to our global ecological crisis within the framework of any conceivable capitalism. The only alternative to market-driven planetary collapse is to transition to a largely planned, mostly publicly-owned economy based on production for need, on democratic governance and rough socio-economic equality, and on contraction and convergence between the global North and South.
Green Capitalism
Foundations of Economics breathes life into the discipline by linking key economic concepts with wider debates and issues.

Der Exploring Economics Podcast Wegweiser
This article explores the production function, the prevailing view of capital that underpins it, and the main alternative perspective. By exploring these perspectives, the authors aim to provide students with a foundational understanding of the controversies surrounding the treatment of capital in production, a topic expressly excluded from mainstream textbooks.
Why We Should Think Twice About Production Functions
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
IS-LM is perhaps the prime example of `cognitive dissonance' in economics, and is problematic to many economists. On the one hand, the IS-LM model is still taught by many academic economists or they use it to derive the AD-AS approach. On the other hand, the same economists realize the limitations of the basic IS-LM model and would not now use it for policy analysis, as they did in the past. The distinction between pedagogical and analytical efficacy is made by all the authors in this volume regarding the IS-LM model.
IS-LM and Modern Macroeconomics
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
In reviewing this book in The Economic Journal, S.G. Checkland said that it should be read as a vigorous attempt to relate economics to general thinking and as a challenge to those who are practitioners or elaborators of narrowly prescribed techniques.

Ein Blick auf die marxistische Staatstheorie lohnt sich, um die Möglichkeiten und Grenzen staatlicher Politik besser zu verstehen. Moritz Zeiler präsentiert drei Ansätze der marxistischen Staatstheorie, die in das Thema einführen und als Appetitanreger für weitere Lektüre, Debatte und Theorieaneignung dienen sollen.
Was ist der Staat? Einführung in zentrale Thesen marxistischer Staatstheorie
Die Welt verändern, ohne die Macht zu übernehmen – dieser Buchtitel aus dem Jahr 2002 steht emblematisch für ein Verhältnis zur Macht, das in Teilen der Linken lange Zeit vorherrschend war. Der Autor des Buches, John Holloway, war selbst Teil der Weltsozialforen-Bewegung und stellte sich entschieden gegen herkömmliche Vorstellungen linker Gegenmacht, etwa im Sinne des Aufbaus einer linken Massenpartei. Aus derselben Zeit stammt auch das Konzept der «Multitude» aus der Feder von Michael Hardt und Antonio Negri. Es richtete sich gegen den identitären Begriff eines «Volkes», und ebenso gegen eine politische Bezugnahme auf die «Arbeiter*innenklasse». Diesen politischen Subjekten wurde eine Vielfalt widerständiger, global verteilter Praktiken und Gruppierungen entgegengestellt, die sich jedoch nicht vereinheitlichen ließen. Das Verhältnis dieser Multitude zur Erringung von Macht wurde offengelassen.
Die Macht übernehmen und die Welt verändern?
Despite some diversification modern economics still attracts a great deal of criticism. This is largely due to highly unrealistic assumptions underpinning economic theory, explanatory failure, poor policy framing, and a dubious focus on prediction. Many argue that flaws continue to owe much of their shortcomings to neoclassical economics.
What is Neoclassical Economics?
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
