Adhering to the multiplicity of degrowth whilst also arguing that strategic prioritisation and coordination are key, Degrowth & Strategy advances the debate on strategy for social-ecological transformation. It explores what strategising means, identifies key directions for the degrowth movement, and scrutinises strategies in practice that aim to realise a degrowth society.
Degrowth & Strategy
Economic theory is currently at a crossroads, where many leading mainstream economists are calling for a more realistic and practical orientation for economic science. Indeed, many are suggesting that economics should be reconstructed on evolutionary lines.
This book is about the application to economics of evolutionary ideas from biology.

Adam Smith and Karl Marx recognized that the best way to understand the economy is to study the most advanced practice of production. Today that practice is no longer conventional manufacturing: it is the radically innovative vanguard known as the knowledge economy.

An ideal type of a pluralistic book. Instead of arguing for one specific interpretation of a complex phenomenon, the authors present six different views on globalisation. Roberts and Lamp carefully balance the different perspectives, presenting the merits of each.
Six Faces of Globalization
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?

Der Aufstieg der Netzwerkgesellschaft
"Es ist mir egal, wer die Gesetze einer Nation schreibt – solange ich ihre Volkswirtschaftslehrbücher schreiben kann." Der Ausspruch des Ökonomie-Nobelpreisträgers und Lehrbuchautors Paul A. Samuelson gilt als symptomatisch für den Einfluss von Ökonom_innen in der modernen Gesellschaft und für den Allgemeingültigkeitsanspruch ihrer Theorien.

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 collection of previously published and new papers is a major intervention in the on-going debate about the nature and future of economics. Instead of the present deductivist-formalist orientation of mainstream economics, Lars Syll advocates for the adoption of a more pluralist approach to economics, arguing for more realism and relevance with less insistence on mathematical modeling.
On the Use and Misuse of Theories and Models in Mainstream Economics

Social Reproduction Theory
From religious leaders to heads of state, everyone is talking about economic inequality. What form can such inequality take in different countries? What impact does it have on society? And why should it matter to you?

Colonialism and Modern Social Theory
The bestselling classic that examines the history of economic thought from Adam Smith to Karl Marx—“all the economic lore most general readers conceivably could want to know, served up with a flourish” (The New York Times). The Worldly Philosophers not only enables us to see more deeply into our history but helps us better understand our own times. In this seventh edition, Robert L. Heilbroner provides a new theme that connects thinkers as diverse as Adam Smith and Karl Marx.
The Worldly Philosophers
Die herrschende Wirtschaftskrise ist auch eine Krise der herrschenden Wirtschaftslehre. Diese hat durch Jahre hindurch „den freien Markt“ propagiert und mitgeholfen, eine wirksame Regulierung der Kapital- und Geldmärkte zu verhindern. Ein unregulierter Markt, so wurde gesagt, würde sich von selbst regulieren, effizient arbeiten und optimale Ergebnisse zum Wohle aller hervorbringen.
Mythos Markt
Environmental cost-benefit analysis was developed by economists in the belief that monetary valuation of the environmental repercussions of economic activity is essential if the "environment " stands any chance of being included in government and business decisions.
Alternatives for Environmental Valuation
The 2007-2010 economic crisis has profoundly shaken the foundations of mainstream financial economics. The apparent falsification of core concepts such as risk diversification, informational efficiency and valuation efficiency by an unexpected course of events has revealed the need to redefine the objectives and direction of research today.
After the Crisis
"This eleven-week course offers a pluralist introduction to political economy and economics. We will examine nine (9) competing schools of thought, each of which offer an original and distinctive illumination of economic and social reality. The course offers a level of learning that would at least match that which is offered by a University. However, you do not need to be connected to a university or to have studied political economy or economics previously to enrol in this particular subject."
