Im Rahmen der Veranstaltungsreihe der Initiative "Kritische Nachhaltigkeit in Theorie und Praxis" mit dem Titel "Ökologie, Krise und Kapitalismus – Ist eine andere Welt noch möglich?" stellt Frederick Heussner den Zusammenhang der derzeitigen „Vielfach-Krise” theoretisch wie praktisch dar. Er geht dabei im ersten Teil auf die grundlegenden Mechanismen kapitalistischer Krisenentstehung und -berarbeitung ein, um diese im zweiten Teil im Rahmen eines historischen Überblicks über die Kapitalistische Entwicklung seit dem zweiten Weltkrieg zu veranschaulichen. Dabei wird deutlich, dass aktuelle ökonomische Krisenphänomene nicht isoliert, sondern als Teil der größeren krisenhaften Entwicklung des globalen Kapitalismus zu verstehen sind.
Klima, Krieg und Inflation – Über Zusammenhänge, Widersprüche und Hintergründe
The blog post by Marc Lavoie contrasts what he perceives as the two main interpretations of the current inflationary tendencies (the 'excessive demand inflation' story and the 'profit inflation' story) and contrasts them with a third interpretation. This interpretation acknowledes rising profits but argues in favor of a different mechanism that centers on changes in the relative composition of costs.
Some controversies in the causes of the post-pandemic inflation
In most economics classes we focus on the production and consumption of goods and services, but what happens to the product and its packaging after it’s consumed? Waste disposal is a crucial step in the production process and as the theme of this month’s World Environment Day is #BeatPlasticPollution, we use the example of plastic bottles.
Production and Waste: Plastic Pollution – Economy Studies
Alvin Roth and Lloyd Shapely won the Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences for their work on market design back in 2012, but it is a field that is still underrepresented in economics education. All markets have rules, and how these rules are set influence how the market functions.

Workers' Rights in a Global Economy
Making sense of economists and their world in a persuasive and entertaining style, Arjo Klamer, shows that economics is as much about how people interact as it is about the models, the mathematics, the econometrics, the theories and the ideas that come from the enormous aggregate of economics literature. Knowing and understanding economics requires both bookwork and mingling with other economists.
Speaking of Economics
Why are some nations more prosperous than others? Why Nations Fail sets out to answer this question, with a compelling and elegantly argued new theory: that it is not down to climate, geography or culture, but because of institutions.
Why Nations Fail

Gender and Economics
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.

Geographical economics starts from the observation that economic activity is clearly not randomly distributed across space. This revised and updated introduction to geographical economics uses the modern tools of economic theory to explain the who, why and where of the location of economic activity. The text provides an integrated, first-principles introduction to geographical economics for advanced undergraduate students and first-year graduate students, and has been thoroughly revised and updated to reflect important developments in the field, including new chapters on alternative core models and policy implications.
The New Introduction to Geographical Economics

Umfassende Analysen des globalen Kapitalismus haben wieder Konjunktur, und mit ihnen kommt auch der zwischenzeitlich totgesagte Karl Marx wieder zu unverhofften Ehren (Negri/Hardt, Robert Kurz u.A.). FReilich scheint diese Auseinandersetzung durchweg recht oberflachlich, findet zumindest Michael Heinrich und pladiert somit fur eine Neuaneignung der Marxschen Theorie selbst.

As a response to ongoing economic, social and environmental crises, many private actors have enlarged their definition of 'value' to include environmental and social elements. Such practices, however, appear incompatible with the current epistemological structure of academic financial discourse.
Finance Reconsidered
Orthodox economics operates within a hypothesized world of perfect competition in which perfect consumers and firms act to bring about supposedly optimal outcomes. The discrepancies between this model and the reality it claims to address are then attributed to particular imperfections in reality itself.
