Durch Versiegelung, Übernutzung und Privatisierung wird Boden zur Ware degradiert. Um die Bewohnbarkeit des Planeten zu sichern, braucht es aber ein neues Verhältnis zum Boden: weg von Verwertungslogiken, hin zu generativen und verbindenden Beziehungen.
Die Transformationsdebatte muss wieder auf den Boden kommen – wortwörtlich
Vermögenssteuern werden häufig als Lösung für zu hohe Ungleichheit ins Spiel gebracht werden. Allerdings bleibt die Debatte oft vage – und droht, als populistischer Aktionismus oder als wirtschaftsliberale Anpassung zu enden. Ein Beitrag von Sebastian Thieme.
Warum die Debatte um Vermögensobergrenzen notwendig ist
An article in the New York Times from early 2025 suggests that the political influence of mainstream economics is declining. While economists have been highly influential in supporting and shaping free-market policies in recent decades, their expertise has become less relevant during intensified economic crises that necessitate state interventions.

The Currency of Politics
Why has heterodox economics not been more successful in making inroads into the mainstream? And why has “pluralist economics,” the most prominent alternative paradigm to mainstream economics, not been more successful in changing the curriculum?
The Project of Pluralism
The global economic and political order is undergoing rapid and profound transformation. We are witnessing a far-reaching "organic" crisis of the global economic world order, which may have started with the financial crisis of 2007/2008 but now enters a new, much more dynamic phase.

How long the COVID-19 crisis will last, and what its immediate economic costs will be, is anyone's guess.

Lean Logic is the late David Fleming’s masterpiece, the product of more than thirty years’ work and a testament to the creative brilliance of one of Britain’s most important intellectuals. A dictionary unlike any other, it leads readers through Fleming’s stimulating exploration of fields as diverse as culture, history, science, art, logic, ethics, myth, economics, and anthropology, being made up of four hundred and four engaging essay-entries covering topics such as Boredom, Community, Debt, Growth, Harmless Lunatics, Land, Lean Thinking, Nanotechnology, Play, Religion, Spirit, Trust, and Utopia. The threads running through every entry are Fleming’s deft and original analysis of how our present market-based economy is destroying the very foundations—ecological, economic, and cultural— on which it depends, and his core focus: a compelling, grounded vision for a cohesive society that might weather the consequences
Lean Logic: A Dictionary for the Future and How to Survive It
In öffentlichen Debatten über Staatsschulden, Haushaltsdefizite und Steuern herrscht oft die Vorstellung, der Staat müsse sich Geld „beschaffen“, bevor er ausgeben könne – entweder über Steuern oder Schuldenaufnahme. Diese Vorstellung überträgt die Logik privater Haushalte auf staatliches Handeln und verkennt die Struktur moderner Geldsysteme.

Was ist Utopie? Ist der Markt eine Utopie? Wofür dient der Markt und als was wird er wahrgenommen? Und ist die Wirtschaftswissenschaft eine Glaubenslehre?

Global Sociology
Sheila Dow discusses the concept of radical uncertainty and the failure of neoclassical economics to integrate it into its analysis. As to the implications for financial regulation that arise from the presence of radical uncertainty she argues for institutional overhaul, where the banks see themselves as a licensed partner of the central bank and where rules, values, and conventions would be subject to a cultural shift. Also, Sheila Dow advocates for a renewed focus on retail banking.
The Economics of Uncertainty
In the interview, Robert Skidelsky discusses the emergence of political influence of a certain school of economic thought and how the success of an economic theory depends on the power relations in the society. He introduces the historical example of Keynesian economics and its replacement by liberal economic theory and policy in the aftermath of the Great Depression, and transfers this historical case to the dominant paradigm of austerity policies in the Europe as response to rising public debts caused by the Financial Crisis. He contrasts austerity policies with a Keynesian approach. Furthermore, he relates the targets of policy to the underlying power structures, for example when not the reduction of unemployment but the protection of financial capital is politically addressed.
Economics and Political Power during the Crisis
In this keynote speech, Roger Backhouse gives a historical overview of theories on secular stagnation: how it evolved from a description of the economic situation, especially in the U.S. of the 1930s to an analytical tool and then lost importance until its current revival. Backhouse touches upon the contributions of J. A. Hobson, Alvin Hansen, Evsey Domar and Paul Samuelson.
