Die alten kapitalistischen Zentren, aber auch die großen Schwellenländer befinden sich inmitten eines epochalen Umbruchs.

Antworten auf die Zangenkrise

Die post-Keynesianische Ökonomik beschreibt die grundlegenden Funktionsweisen des Kapitalismus mit besonderem Fokus auf Wachstum und Verteilung. Aber ist sie auch in der Lage, ökologische Krisen zu erfassen und geeignete Lösungsansätze zu entwickeln?
Wie die Klimakrise den Post-Keynesianismus herausfordert

Die dominante Ökonomie fordert eine Bepreisung der Umwelt – spielt aber de facto beim Klimaschutz eine bremsende Rolle. Ihre Vorstellungen von „dem Markt“ sind zur direkten Bedrohung der Menschheit geworden.
Der Markt und das Klima
Innovationspolitik ist relevant für eine klimabewusstere Zukunft – und ihre Relevanz geht über die generelle Förderung allgemein umweltbewusster Innovationen hinaus.

Extractivism is a development model based on exploiting and exporting raw materials. It is fundamental to reproducing entire societies, mainly in the Global South, while generating manifold dilemmas. This text situates extractivism within the broader landscape of global economic asymmetries, emphasizing the role of rents—excess revenues generated from resource extraction due to international price differentials—as a central analytical lens.
The Political Economy of Extractivism
The current international financial system has created a huge gap between the wealthy and the rest. Grounded and straightforward in his approach, Brahm calls for a turn away from economic systems dangerously steeped in ideology and stymied by politics, outlining a new global consensus based on pragmatism, common sense, and grass-roots realities.

First, a definition of care work is given. Then the gendered and racialized issues and inequalities associated with care work as well as the work overload that results from the double burden of care and wage labour are explored. Lastly, a policy proposal which counters the dynamics and the culture of capitalist (re)production, grounded in the concept of solidarity, is developed.

The Great Recession 2.0 is unfolding before our very eyes. It is still in its early phase. But dynamics have been set in motion that are not easily stopped, or even slowed. If the virus effect were resolved by early summer—as some politicians wishfully believe—the economic dynamics set in motion would still continue. The US and global economies have been seriously ‘wounded’ and will not recover easily or soon. Those who believe it will be a ‘V-shape’ recovery are deluding themselves. Economists among them should know better but are among the most confused. They only need to look at historical parallels to convince themselves otherwise.
Origins & Emergence of the 2020 Great Recession in the US Economy

From the mercantile monopolies of seventeenth-century empires to the modern-day authority of the WTO, IMF, and World Bank, the nations of the world have struggled to effectively harness globalization's promise. The economic narratives that underpinned these eras the gold standard, the Bretton Woods regime, the "Washington Consensus" brought great success and great failure.

"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."

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.

Making Many Maps: Why We Need an Interested Pluralism in Economics and How to Get There
As opposed to the conventional over-simplified assumption of self-interested individuals, strong evidence points towards the presence of heterogeneous other-regarding preferences in agents. Incorporating social preferences – specifically, trust and reciprocity - and recognizing the non-constancy of these preferences across individuals can help models better represent the reality.
