Is or has economics ever been the imperial social science? Could or should it ever be so? These are the central concerns of this book. It involves a critical reflection on the process of how economics became the way it is, in terms of a narrow and intolerant orthodoxy, that has, nonetheless, increasingly directed its attention to appropriating the subject matter of other social sciences through the process termed "economics imperialism".

From Economics Imperialism to Freakonomics
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
Modern mission theory is guided largely by the three self paradigm that suggests indigenous churches can only be healthy if they are self-governing, self-propagating, and self-supporting. Consequently, Western missionaries, their churches, and their agencies have been increasingly indisposed to giving generously. We must rethink the interplay of dollars dependency and what it means to do the right thing with our money as we pursue twenty-first century missions.

To Give Or Not to Give
Größe ist kein Wert an sich: Sie kann vorteilhaft sein, muss es aber nicht. In der Ökonomie führt Größe zu Machtkonzentration, verdrängt Vielfalt und ist häufig nicht nachhaltig.

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.

The Rhetoric of Economics
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.

The Heretics Guide to Global Finance
The 2007–08 credit crisis and the long recession that followed brutally exposed the economic and social costs of financialization. Understanding what lay behind these events, the rise of “fictitious capital” and its opaque logic, is crucial to grasping the social and political conditions under which we live. Yet, for most people, the operations of the financial system remain shrouded in mystery.

Rethinking Capitalist Development
Wie sähen Wirtschaftswissenschaften aus, die sich konsequent den Praktiken wirtschaftender Akteur*innen zuwenden? Um diese Frage zu beantworten, entwickelt Lukas Bäuerle einen konzeptuellen Rahmen aus Institutionen- und Praxistheorien, kritischem Realismus und Sozialphänomenologie, den er stringent zu einer praxeologischen Institutionenforschung zuspitzt. Am Beispiel der Subjektivierungspraktiken von Studierenden der Wirtschaftswissenschaften dekliniert er seinen Ansatz durch und deutet die empirischen Ergebnisse in Anlehnung an Friedrich Hayek, Karl Marx und Roberto Unger. Das Ergebnis: Wirtschaftswissenschaften sollten nicht nur grundlegend neu gemacht werden, sondern können es auch!

In this book, distinguished economist Edith Kuiper shows us that the history of economic thought is just that, a his-story, by telling the herstory of economic thought from the perspective of women economic writers and economists. Although some of these women were well known in their time, they were excluded from most of academic economics, and, over the past centuries, their work has been neglected, forgotten, and thus become invisible.

Der Markt soll es angeblich immer richten, dabei plant das Kapital selbst, was das Zeug hält. Mithilfe von Big Data, Algorithmen und Feedback-Technologien wollen die Plattform-Giganten Amazon, Google und Alibaba nichts mehr dem Zufall überlassen: Sie perfektionieren Logistik und Produktion und identifizieren Kundenwünsche, noch bevor sie ausgesprochen werden. Ließen sich die neuen Technologien nicht nutzen für eine Zukunft jenseits des digitalen Kapitalismus? Und wenn ja, wie? Höchste Zeit für eine neue Diskussion über Plan und Markt.

Financialization is one of the most innovative concepts to emerge in the field of political economy during the last three decades, although there is no agreement on what exactly it is. Profiting Without Producing by Costas Lapavitsas puts forth a distinctive view defining financialization in terms of the fundamental conduct of non-financial enterprises, banks and households.
